Apple AirPlay with iPad and TV
Hi, I bought a New LG Oled TV with AirPlay 2 function. I managed to mirror my iPhone 11 to it, but not my iPad. My IPad Air 2 has IOS 14.6. What could be the reason why can’t I mirror it?

AirPlay uses Apple Bonjour discovery protocol (mDNS - Multicast DNS - UDP port 5353). It is possible that your WiFi network is blocking this protocol between some WiFi client-devices.
You may find that restart of your network components will resolve the problem. You’ll need to restart your network devices in the correct order. Assuming that you WiFi Router provides DNS services for your network, restart devices in this order - allowing time for devices to fully boot/restart prior to restarting other devices:
- WiFi Router
- Upstream wired Network Switch(es)
- WiFi Access Points / Network Extenders
- Other fixed infrastructure devices - such as Printers
- Client devices - iPad, iPhone, TV etc.
Restarting your iPad, after restarting other devices in the correct sequence, is most simply achieved by a forced-restart of the iPad:
- On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
- On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
