I just opted for Chromecast due to the cost factor and the fact that Wifi Chromecast or the Apple TV is on does not have internet. But, remember this method will only work if your mobile is not connected to your WiFi network. This feature is basically intended to permits guests in your some to access your Chromecast without connecting to your WiFi. Now you can use different iOS apps like Google Home or the 3rd party Chromecast app to mirror your iPhone on scree via Chromecast, and use apps like Plex, YouTube, etc to play back video.Īgain, I think it will also work with Apple TV. It is the easiest and most straightforward way to connect your Chromecast without WiFi.
Now when you turn off the original extended Wifi network (the internet access one), and connect to the TL-W902AC Wifi, you will see in your iPhone that you are connected to Wifi, but have no internet, and that is exactly what you want. Then click on DNS and change from Auto to Manual and enter the router’s IP address. Copy the previously assigned IP number in the IP Number field, and put the Subnet address in. After Setup, go to the TL-WR902AC Wifi network setting in your iPhone and modify it from DHCP (Automatic) to Manual. I am sure that you still can go with the Apple TV instead of ChromecastĦ. Google Chromecast does require a wifi network with internet in order to get the initial setupĥ.
CHROMECAST WITHOUT WIFI UPDATE
This will also help to update the router’s firmware to the latest release.Ĥ. This could be as simple as a mobile WiFi (MiFi), as long as you have internet. In order to get the initial setup done you do need to “extend” an existing internet capable wifi network. You have to use in the browser interface to configure itģ. You can’t use the “Tether” app from TP-Link when the router is in this mode. The TL-WR902AC needs to be in Share Hotspot modeĢ. So configuring the WiFi manually, and not entering the router address does work! I think the router however can’t have IPV6! I put a little drawing together.ġ.
I am providing a list of items that I used and I can verify that work. This is what you need to setup an Apple TV or Google Chromecast to mirror your iPhone, without having internet on your Wifi network, only using your iPhone LTE to download the media that you will be streaming on these devices. Please find attached a schematic that will help out a bit.
