Use Apple TV without WiFi - how it works

Thanks to peer-to-peer airplay, you can connect your Apple TV to your iPhone, iPad or Mac without WiFi. We show you how this works in this practical tip.

Use Apple TV without WiFi

The "Peer-to-Peer Airplay" function is available from iOS 8 and Mac OS 10.10. It can be used with all Apple TVs from the third generation, model A1469. The use of peer-to-peer airplay works just like airplay via WLAN:

1. Start the Apple TV and the Apple device you want to connect.
2. WLAN must be activated on the Apple device, but the devices do not have to be on the same network.
3. Now you can search for Airplay devices on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and connect them to the Apple TV.
4. To confirm, you must enter a four-digit code on the Apple device, which is displayed on the Apple TV.
