Feb 3, 2016 9:30 AM in response to Jonathan Aleyby Protodd,★HelpfulPeer to peer is available for air playing. However, the ATV device needs to have an Internet connection even when using peer to peer. AirPlay is a service available on the iDevices. However the ATV is a streaming Internet device so it will require an Internet connection...
when I travel, I use an HDMI dongle connected to my iPhone/iPad. This also helps save space as I already have those devices with me...
Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Apple TVI'm pretty sure that Peer to Peer doesn't require an internet connection (although other services on the Apple TV will do). It does however require a wifi network. (it uses bluetooth initially to configure the wifi settings for you)

Feb 3, 2016 9:39 AM in response to Winston Churchillby Jonathan Aley,Yeah, I thought the same thing. The only thing I do know is that for any AirPlay choices to even come up on my iPhone, for example, Wi-Fi has to be turned on. It doesn't need to be connected to a specific network, but it needs to be turned on apparently.

Apple TVIt doesn't initially need to be connected to a network - no, but there has to be a network available for bluetooth to configure the devices to connect to it.
