Airplay & Screen mirroring

Hi All,

 

Sorry if this question is duplicated and a long post 😊. I have a question regarding the Airplay and screen mirroring issue from my iPhone with a smart TV (LG). My phone can see the LG when I'm trying to mirror the screen. However, it came with error message and can't mirror. I'm trying another iPhone on the same network, and failed. When I use a Windows laptop to do wireless connect display, it worked just fine. So I narrowed down just the Boujour or something with my phone/TV. I then connect both of them to another Wi-Fi lab without Meraki in the environment, I can mirror without any issues. What am I missing here with Meraki setup? Here's my setup: I  have a MR 36 and MX68 on a flat network with no VLANs. I set MX68 on the "Passthrough or VPN concentrator" and all the IP addresses coming from ISP gateway. For the MR36, it's on the "Bridge mode".

AirPlay uses Bonjour (mDNS) to discover devices on the same network.

Also take a look at this.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Check the Bonjour Forwarding.

I tend to avoid configuring Bonjour forwarding on the AP, and instead configure it only on the MX. I've had some difficulties with Bonjour on the MR.
