Q: do you have to have wifi connected on apple tv to mirror to your ipad. i would like to use it when i travel and stay in hotels but sometimes hotel have additional sign on security and when u sign on with wifi on ipad it will redirect to put in password

When i go to a hotel, sometimes they have additional security and when you sign onto there wifi it redirects u to a hotel web page to put in a password. this is different then putting a password on your router and i dont know if its possible to connect to there internet with the apple tv as long as that password page is there or is there an option? If not, does not being connected to wifi interfer with mirroring my ipad to the apple tv and just playing a movie on netflex threw my ipad instead of being connected and using the netflex on apple tv???????

    Yes both the iPad and Apple TV need to be connected to the same wifi network in order for mirroring to occur.

     

    You wouldn't be able to use the ATV for other functions as it cannot access a network that requires login via browser.
