Apple TV 2nd generation not mirroring

I recently brought a preowned Apple TV 2nd generation but am unable to mirror my other devices to it.

My iPhone is running on iOS 10.1.1 and my Apple TV is running 5.3.

Both devices are connected to the same wifi network but when I swipe up on my iPhone and select AirPlay mirroring it searches for an Apple TV but does not display any results.

Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks

You can AirPlay photos and videos from an iOS device to an Apple TV (2nd generation) or later.

Try these instructions > How to AirPlay content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

The first thing I'd do is update your software. If the Apple TV says you are up to date then it's not connecting to the network properly which may well be the issue with AirPlay.
