Ipad for presentations with projector and Apple TV but without wifi??

Hello,


I would like to use my ipad for PowerPoint presentations and wirelessly connect to the projector. I have Apple TV to do this however in some locations I won't have access to wifi. Is there anything I can do or get to make this work? Thanks

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4

There are some cables you can use. Depends on what model iPad you have and what interface is on the projector. You could also get a router to take with you and set up your wifi connection. There's some portable routers.


You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

Hello Tom, thanks for the info.


The portable router option sounds promising. I want to avoid wires so I can be mobile for the presentation. I'm i right in thinking the portable router will set up a private wifi network that the two devices can connect to (ipad and Apple TV)


Will this still work without phone line or connection to the internet?


Thanks Adam
