Why Your Projector Won't Connect to Wi-Fi & How to Fix It | The Complete Aestiquo P1 Troubleshooting Guide
Wi-Fi issues with the P1 projector generally fall into four categories. First, identify your symptom, then proceed to the relevant troubleshooting steps.
| Symptom | Main Cause | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi | Incorrect password, frequency band mismatch, router settings | ★☆☆ Easy |
| Connects, but video buffers/freezes | Weak signal strength, interference, insufficient bandwidth | ★★☆ Moderate |
| Specific apps like Netflix don't work | App settings, DNS, regional restrictions | ★★☆ Moderate |
| Screen mirroring won't connect | Not on the same network, device incompatibility | ★☆☆ Easy |
Cause 1: Incorrect Wi-Fi password
This is the most common cause. Errors frequently occur with uppercase/lowercase letters and symbols, especially when typing with a remote control.
- Go to Settings → Network → Wi-Fi, then "Forget" the connected network.
- Reconfirm the password on the back of your router or in its administration interface.
- Carefully re-enter the password character by character (pay attention to capitalization and symbols).
- If it still won't connect, try connecting to your smartphone's hotspot to determine if the issue lies with the router.
Cause 2: Does not support 5GHz band (2.4GHz/5GHz mixed environment)
The P1 supports Wi-Fi 6 (both 2.4GHz/5GHz), but depending on router settings, only 5GHz dedicated SSIDs might be displayed. Also, older routers may have unstable 5GHz bands.
- In the Wi-Fi list, try connecting to the "2.4GHz" SSID (usually with "-G" or "-2G" at the end).
- Check your router's administration interface for settings to separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz into distinct SSIDs.
- If connecting to 5GHz, move the projector closer to the router.
Cause 3: Blocked by MAC address filtering
If your router has MAC address filtering enabled for security, devices not registered will be denied connection.
- Go to the projector's Settings → About → and note down its MAC address.
- Access your router's administration interface (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
- Add the projector's MAC address to the MAC address filtering whitelist.

View P1 →Cause 1: Projector is too far from the router
Wi-Fi signals significantly weaken due to distance and obstacles (walls, appliances). The 2.4GHz band, in particular, is prone to interference from microwaves and other Wi-Fi devices.
- Move the projector within 5 meters of the router and check for improvement.
- If it improves, consider installing a Wi-Fi extender.
- Switching to the 5GHz band (Wi-Fi 6) can sometimes reduce interference.
Cause 2: Insufficient bandwidth on the same network
During times when all family members are using Wi-Fi, bandwidth may be insufficient, causing high-bitrate content like 4K videos to buffer.
- Temporarily stop other devices from using Wi-Fi and check for improvement.
- Increase the projector's priority in your router's QoS settings.
- Lower the video quality setting to HD (1080p) for better stability.
Cause 1: Corrupted Netflix app cache
Over time, app caches accumulate, which can lead to issues like the app not launching or being unable to log in.
- Go to Settings → Apps → Netflix → Storage → and Clear Cache.
- If that doesn't help, "Clear Data" to reset the app (re-login will be required).
- If it still doesn't work, uninstall the app and reinstall it from Google Play.
Cause 2: Disney+ cannot be directly installed on Android TV
Due to Android TV specifications, the Disney+ app cannot be directly installed from Google Play.
Cause 3: Android TV system update not applied
Older system versions can cause apps to behave unstably.
- Go to Settings → About → and check for System Updates.
- If an update is available, apply it and then restart.
