db67 I'm not sure if you resolved your problem or not but I have been working with an iPad 2 (Generation 2 - 2011 Model) and a new Apple TV (A1469 - 2014 Model) and they will not connect to each other through Peer to Peer only.
It appears there is a problem/link with some hardware issue/limitation on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Models which are older than 2012. My iPad 2 has the latest iOS 8.2 and the Apple TV has the latest OS 7.1 but when I turn off the WiFi on my iPad 2 I can't see the Apple TV as a Peer to Peer device but when I turn on the WiFi I can see the Apple TV as a Network Device and can connect to it but not with "Mirroring".
I found an Apple Note on the Apple TV page - http://store.apple.com/us/buy-appletv/appletv that says that only iPad models from 2012 and on can do Peer to Peer with the Apple TV and thus my iPhone 5s, MacBook Pro, iMac, and iPad 4 (Gen 4) can connect in WiFi (network Mode) and in Peer to Peer mode while my iPad 2 can only connect in WiFi (network Mode).

I would have expected this of the Gen 1 iPad but not the Gen 2 and beyond but at the end of the day I guess it is what it is... so time to hand my Gen 2 to the kids and get a new one... LOL
Hope this helps,
