Wireless screen mirroring technology is convenient, but connection issues may occasionally occur. Whether Google Cast fails to detect devices or AirPlay mirroring freezes, this guide helps you quickly “resolve obstacles”.
- Symptom: No devices can be detected by any protocol.
- Solution: Ensure the transmitting device (phone/computer) and receiving device (TV/screen mirroring adapter) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and the network has not enabled “AP isolation” (a function that blocks device-to-device communication).
- Symptom: Unstable connection or unexpected disconnection.
- Solution: Restart your phone, computer, router, and screen mirroring receiving device in sequence to eliminate temporary system glitches.
- Solution 1: Check if devices like Chromecast are powered on and connected to the network (verify via the device indicator light).
- Solution 2: Update the Google Home app to the latest version, as outdated apps may cause compatibility problems.
- Solution 1: Confirm the receiving device supports AirPlay and has AirPlay functionality enabled (check the device’s network or display settings).
- Solution 2: Ensure the Apple device (iPhone/iPad/Mac) is not too far from the receiving device—keep the distance within 10 meters to avoid signal weakening.
Wi-Fi interference (from devices like microwaves, Bluetooth speakers) or insufficient bandwidth (occupied by other devices).
- Connect the wireless screen mirroring adapter to the 5G Hz Wi-Fi band—this band has less interference than the 2.4G Hz band.
- Pause other devices that are downloading files or streaming videos, as they consume large bandwidth and cause latency.
- Place the screen mirroring device as close to the receiver as possible to strengthen the wireless signal.
Remember this mnemonic: First check network consistency, then verify device power status, confirm protocol compatibility, and switch frequency bands to solve problems.
