Mirror iPad to Firestick without Wi-Fi

Next, we will discuss two options for mirroring content from your iPad to your Fire TV without a Wi-Fi connection.

Option 1: use an HDMI cable

The easiest way to mirror without a Wi-Fi connection is to plug a digital Lightning AV adapter into your iPad, then connect to your TV via an HDMI cable. These adapters can be expensive; However, they are an investment, especially if you travel regularly.

Option 2: Use AirPlay Peer-to-Peer

This feature uses Bluetooth to pair your iPad to your Fire TV:

  1. Make sure your iPad and Fire TV are disconnected from Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi is turned on.
  2. Pair your iPad to your Firestick via Bluetooth.
  3. Once connected, you should be able to see your Fire TV appear on your iPad's selection screen. You may need to restart both devices for this to work.

Some third-party apps like Netflix won't work on this setup, so it's probably best to go with the HDMI connection option if possible.
