Apple tv 3rd generation not able to mirror iphone or ipad

I have an apple tv box (3r generation). I can watch programmes from my apple tv account but i can not mirror my ipad or iphone. I have tried restoring the device to factory settings. My iPhone and ipad are connected to the same network as the apple tv. I have tried restarting all the devices, unpling the cales and nothing has worked. When i tried mirroring there are no available options to mirror to.

iPad, iPadOS 17

① Verify if activation failed: Settings﹥General﹥About﹥…

If activation succeeded, then that page wouldn’t list anything on activation; only if it failed.

If activation failed, then AirPlay wouldn’t be available either.

See here how to fix it, if needed: discussions.apple.com/thread/253315520 (user RKG61’s reply).
