The Wi-Fi was disconnected on iPad Air as soon as I started AirPlay Mirroring. Just happened in recent week. Is it happening to your device too?
iPad Air, iOS 8.1, Apple TV

Hi Winston,
Thank you and really appreciate your suggestions and help. I followed the steps one by one during the weekend but unfortunately did not resolve the problem. Let me clarify the problem I have in AirPlay mirroring. As soon as the AirPlay mirroring is turn on on my iPad Air, the image is projected on my TV via Apple TV. However, in about 10 to 15 seconds, from the General Setting on iPad Air, I watched the WiFi connection changed to "Not Connected". Only after I switched off AirPlay mirroring I was able to reconnect the WiFi. This problem only happened since last week. Both iPad Air and Apple TV are updated to the latest software.
I'm wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this problem.
Specifically, I don't recall seeing an exact replica of your issue lately, but that doesn't mean no-one else has experienced it. Typically these types of issues are network related, are you able to test on another network, somewhere.
I'll try to find another network to test. BTW, I have no problem AirPlay from MacBook Pro to TV via Apple TV. Does it mean no network issue?
It just means you don't have an issue that affects communication between the MBP and the Apple TV, it doesn't really infer anything else.
I Have the exact same problem, as soon as i start airplay my ipad air drops the wifi signal, i have the full bars but no internet connection, turning off and reset doesn't work at all, i have to start it in recovery mode or fully restore it. Both ipad and apple tv are up to date
macbook and iphone 4s work perfectly
I am having this issue on my macbook pro
it's not constant and if I restart the computer, it gets back to working properly
but it is pretty upsetting to have to restart the computer when I want to mirror or expand my desktop with Airplay
It's not always... it works right for a while then out of nowhere, it happens.
Running 10.10.2 on my MBP
