So let me share what i did to make Ipad and apple tv work with homeshare and Mirror from Ipad



You need to open some port in your router.  Here is what i did to make homesharing work.

So to all that have problem with Homeshare and Mirror (Airplay) this i how you do.
After i did this step everything was working.

My Router is a DOVADO 4GR.


- First i had to logg in to my router.

- Then i went to this window. Here i click on Enable UPnP,



Then i i read some information on This link.

- Then i went to Port Forwarding in meny LAN on my router


- Then i made a rule for my apple tv.

I checked Ip adresse for Apple tv.This you find by going to your apple Tv under settings


See this video how you find your IP for Apple Tv.

Here is my rule :

My Apple tv had Ip number: 192.168.0.138

So i add a rule to Port Forwarding (See under)



And then what happen ?  ----> Homesharing worked


The ports for homeshare must be open for ports:

TCP-port 123 og 3689 
And UDP-port 123 og 5353.


In my router start to work only by adding:

Tcp  123    and   3689

And then my Apple Tv found my files on Itunes. Sweet !

If you not have been able to get homesharing the problem is your router !
