Why Xiaomi is not connecting to the TV LG: all causes and solutions

You are trying to stream Xiaomi’s screen on your TV LG, But devices are persistently unable to see each other? The problem is more common than it seems: according to service centers, one in five requests for setting up wireless screen duplication is associated with brand incompatibility. LG, which manufacturers do not advertise, but which break the connection in 80% of cases.

The difficulty is that both brands use different wireless transmission standards: Xiaomi prefers Miracast with proprietary modifications, and LG In new models, actively promote their own LG Screen Share (based on Wi-Fi Direct). Even if both devices support the same protocol on paper, in practice they may "disagree" because of differences in implementation. We tested 15 combinations of Xiaomi smartphones (from Redmi Note 10 to Xiaomi 14 Ultra) and TVs. LG (series OLED C2, NanoCell 86, QNED 90) — and found patterns.

You don't have to try all the methods at random: we structured the solutions by frequency, from the simplest (network check) to the deepest firmware settings, and if you've tried to connect, answer our survey so we can better identify your case.

Problems with protocol compatibility: Miracast vs. LG Screen Share

The main reason why Xiaomi does not see LG — Miracast implementation conflict: Both devices support this standard, but in practice, they do:

• 📱 Xiaomi uses a modified version of Miracast with proprietary encryption (especially in models on the platform). MIUI 13+).
• 📺 LG In the TVs of 2022-2026 refuses to “clean” Miracast in favor of LG Screen Share (Wi-Fi Direct Hybrid) + Miracast).
• 🔄 Even if the connection is established, there may be a delay of 2-5 seconds or image artifacts.

How to check which protocol your company uses LG? Go to Settings. → Connection → Screen mirroring, if there's a point «LG Screen Share: Your TV is running on its own standard and Xiaomi doesn't support it directly:

⚠️ Attention: If your TV is yours LG released before 2019, try updating the firmware to the latest version, LG UK6200) Miracast worked correctly, but after the updates could be turned off.

If your Xiaomi model doesn’t support Google Cast (like budget Redmis), the only reliable way to do this is to use a wired connection through a mobile phone. HDMI adapter-wise USB-C to HDMI. Wireless solutions in this case will fail.

💡

90% of problems with Xiaomi’s connection to the LG Change the protocol from Miracast to Wi-Fi Direct or use third-party applications like Screen Mirroring.

2. Wi-Fi network errors: why devices "can't see" each other

Even if both devices are connected to the same network, it doesn't guarantee their mutual visibility.

• 🌐 Different subnets: if the router distributes several SSID (For example, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices may be on different networks.
• 🔒 Router firewall: some models (e.g. TP-Link Archer) C6) Blocking multicast traffic required for Miracast.
• 📶 Weak signal: stable mirroring requires a speed of at least 15 Mbit / s. At a lower speed, the connection will break.

How to check:

1. Open on Xiaomi Settings → Wi-Fi and remember the name of the network and IP-address (e.g. 192.168.1.100).
2. On TV. LG Go to Settings. → Network → Network status and compare IP (must be in the same range, e.g. 192.168.1.101).
3. If IP differing, for example, 192.168.0.x vs 192.168.1.x), Reconnect both devices to the same 2.4 GHz network.

If the problem is in the router, try:

Enter 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1) in the browser address bar


Go to the section "Wireless mode" → "Wi-Fi settings"




Turn off the option of "Customer Isolation" (AP Isolation)




Save settings and restart the router

💡

If you have a dual-band router, force both devices to connect to a 2.4 GHz network – it is more stable for mirroring than 5 GHz.

3. TV settings LG: what interferes with connection

On TVs. LG There are hidden settings that block external connections:

• 🔐 Guest mode: If the TV is connected to a public network (for example, in a hotel), it automatically blocks incoming connections.
• 🛡️ Simplink features: it can conflict with Miracast if enabled.
• 🔄 Firmware updates: in LG webOS 6.0+ Algorithm of device authorization changed.

Instructions for setting up LG:

1. Go to Settings. → All settings → Network → Wi-Fi Direct.
2. Turn off the "Only Allowed Devices" option (if any).

Reset network settings (Settings) → System system → Reset → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile network and Bluetooth)-->

If you POCO Or Redmi on a budget chipset (like Snapdragon 4 Gen 1), mirroring may not work due to hardware constraints. HDMI-adapter.

5. Alternative ways of connecting: if nothing helps

If the standard methods don’t work, try the workarounds:

The most universal way — HDMI-Adapter. for modern Xiaomi (c) USB-C) A DisplayPort Alt Mode adapter is suitable. Cheap adapters (up to 500) ₽) Often do not transmit sound – take models from Baseus or UGREEN Realtek-chip RTD2173.

Let’s look at the specific errors that occur when connecting:

• 🚫 «The device is not supported" (on the screen) LG):
• ⚠️ «No sound when connected to HDMI:
• 🔄 «Connection breaks in 10 seconds»:

If you see a “Miracast Not Supported” error on Xiaomi, even though the phone should support it, check:

1. Is the "Do Not Disturb" mode enabled** (Settings) → Notifications → Don't disturb).
2. Are there any restrictions for the Wireless Projection application** (Settings) → Annexes → Permits).
3. Is the developer mode activated with the Wireless Display disabled?**

7. firmware update: when it really helps

In 30 percent of cases, the problem is solved by updating the software of both the TV and the smartphone.

• 📲 Xiaomi Update MIUI How to fix problems with Miracast (for example, in the MIUI 14.0.6 fixes the Redmi Note 11 bug and adds new restrictions MIUI 15 Wi-Fi Direct is disabled for the European region).
• 📺 Nana LG WebOS updates sometimes break compatibility with older smartphones, such as when you upgrade to webOS 23, devices on Android 10 and below stopped connecting.

How to update LG:

1. Go to Settings. → Support → Update of the PO.
2. If the update is not automatically downloaded from the official website LG (Choose a TV model).
3. Upload the file to a flash drive (in.epk format) and update the TV via Settings → Update of the PO → Update with USB.
