Got a new mini projector and tired of the HDMI cable? Connecting it to your home WiFi is the first step to streaming movies, mirroring your phone, and using built-in apps without a single wire. It sounds technical, but it’s actually very similar to joining a network on your phone. Here’s how to connect the Akimart Mini Projector 720P to WiFi, step by step.
What you need before you start
Before you begin, make sure you have these ready:
- Your mini projector, powered on
- The remote control that came with it
- Your home WiFi name (SSID) and password
- A router broadcasting on 2.4GHz or 5GHz — the Akimart Mini Projector supports both
That’s all. There is no extra software to install and no computer required. The whole process takes about two minutes.
Step-by-step: connect your mini projector to WiFi
The Akimart Mini Projector 720P runs on Android 11, so the menus will feel familiar if you have ever used an Android phone or a TV box. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Power on and open Settings
Turn on the projector and press the gear icon on the home screen or on the remote. This opens the settings menu, where all network options live.
Step 2: Go to Network & Internet
In the settings menu, look for “Network & Internet” or simply “Wi-Fi.” Tap it to open the wireless settings page.
Step 3: Scan for available networks
The projector will automatically scan for nearby wireless networks. Wait a few seconds for the list to fill in before you choose one.
Step 4: Select your WiFi network
Pick your home network from the list. If you have a dual-band router, you will see both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz networks. Because the Akimart Mini Projector 720P supports Dual-Band WiFi 6, you can connect to either band — choose 5GHz for faster streaming when the router is close by, or 2.4GHz for a stronger signal through walls.
Step 5: Enter your password
Use the on-screen keyboard to type your WiFi password. Passwords are case-sensitive, so double-check capital letters and special characters. Tap “Connect” and wait a few seconds for the projector to join the network.
Step 6: Confirm the connection
Once connected, the WiFi icon in the status bar will light up. You are now online — you can open built-in apps, stream videos, and receive system updates without any cables.
How to mirror your phone to the projector
Connecting to WiFi and mirroring your phone are two different things, but they work together. To mirror, make sure your phone and the projector are on the same WiFi network. Then open the screen mirroring option on the projector — for iPhone use AirPlay, and for Android use the cast or multi-screen option — and select the projector from your phone. Your screen will appear on the big display in a few seconds.
Troubleshooting: why won’t my projector connect?
If the projector refuses to join your network, these fixes solve most cases:
- Can’t find your network? Make sure the router is on and the projector is within range. Restart the projector and scan again.
- Wrong password? Re-enter it carefully. Use the “show password” option if available, and remember that passwords are case-sensitive.
- Slow or buffering video? Move the router closer to the projector, or switch to the 5GHz band for a faster connection.
- Still stuck? Power-cycle both devices: turn off the projector, unplug the router and modem, wait 30 seconds, plug them back in, and try again.
Why connecting to WiFi is worth it
Once your mini projector is on WiFi, it becomes a full smart device. You can stream from apps, mirror your phone, and skip the cable clutter entirely. The Akimart Mini Projector 720P packs Dual-Band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and Android 11 into a pocket-sized body, along with auto vertical keystone correction and HDMI, USB, and WiFi connectivity — ready for movie nights, presentations, and gaming on the go.
