5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on TV/monitor | Incorrect HDMI input selected; insufficient power; loose connection. | Ensure the correct HDMI input is selected. Verify the USB power adapter provides at least 5V/1A. Check all cable connections. |
| Cannot connect to adapter's Wi-Fi | Incorrect password; device too far from adapter. | Double-check the Wi-Fi password displayed on the TV. Move your mobile device closer to the adapter. |
| Mirroring is laggy or unstable | Weak Wi-Fi signal; network congestion; distance from router. | Ensure the adapter is connected to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network if available for better performance. Reduce distance between the adapter, router, and mirroring device. Minimize other network activity. |
| Cannot mirror protected content (e.g., Netflix) | DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions. | This is expected behavior. The adapter cannot bypass DRM protection. Use the native app on your smart TV or a dedicated streaming device for such content. |
| Android Miracast not working | Device not Miracast-enabled; software issue. | Verify your Android device supports Miracast. Try restarting both the adapter and your Android device. Consider using the EZMira app. |
