Airplay not working (3rd Gen)

Hello!


My Apple TV (3rd generation)'s airplay does not seem to work. This is one of my first time using this old Apple TV, and it doesn't connect with any of my devices (Macbook Air 2015, Catalina; iPhone XS, iPhone 6s) Anyone know what to do? I've tried following the support article but it doesn't seem to work. Rebooting does not do anything either.


Thanks in advance! :D

How to AirPlay video and mirror your device's screen - Apple Support

If AirPlay or screen mirroring isn’t working on your device - Apple Support


Verify that all devices connect to the same home network. For Wi-Fi, connect to the same SSID network name. Don’t use two SSID network names for the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band, as that essentially creates two networks where devices cannot communicate with devices on the other part. Instead have your router bridge all parts into one logical network (even wireless and wired if you use that).
