AirPlay typically requires a Wi-Fi network to connect your device and TV. This network allows data to transfer between devices seamlessly. Without Wi-Fi, AirPlay cannot establish a connection or stream content. However, you can use an Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect directly via HDMI, which allows streaming without Wi-Fi. Alternatively, some smart TVs support peer-to-peer AirPlay, enabling a connection without traditional Wi-Fi, provided both devices are recent models and have Bluetooth enabled.
