Try putting both of them on the 2.4ghz band and see if that works.

Along those lines….
I had the game on my ESPN app on the phone.
I mirrored it to the TV which worked fine until I tried to enlarge the screen to full screen on my phone. It went black …. If I’d minimize it, it was fine again. Is this a bandwidth issue?
Maybe 2.4 vs 5 on the settings?
Thoughts?

I can't do that with my mesh network and Iphone 12...

Anyway, I never have gotten Airplay to work right, I just use a ROKU for everything people say they have to cast...

I have an LG that is a few years old so not sure if this is it, but I had to go into the tv settings and set up the airplay options. I added a pin for security. Once I did that the airplay has been pretty seamless.

Also, if mirroring phone, to get a full screen video, just rotate the phone to landscape and the video will go full screen on the tv as well.
