Your TV might block your device because it is on a different Wi-Fi network, has screen sharing turned off, or saved too many connected devices. Your parents' TV works because its settings allow nearby devices to connect right away. 

Check Network and Power

  • Turn your TV off and on again.
  • Unplug the TV power cord for 30 seconds.
  • Check that your phone and TV use the exact same Wi-Fi name.
  • Move closer to the router and the TV.
