Smart TV screen mirroring from phone not connecting
Screen mirroring needs both your phone and TV to be on the same WiFi network and close enough to each other. If they're not on the same network, they can't find each other. Restart both devices and check the WiFi connection. This fixes it for most people in under a minute.
Screen mirroring uses WiFi to send a copy of your phone screen to your TV. Both devices need to be on the same network, and their radios need to be close enough to talk to each other. When connection fails, it's in most cases a network issue, wrong WiFi, or something that needs a restart. We'll check both devices and get them talking.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Having devices on different WiFi networks. Both must be on the exact same network.
- Expecting mirroring to work on mobile data instead of WiFi. Mirroring always needs both devices on the same WiFi.
