is there a way to hide screen mirroring

[kilroy1stcav]

I'm using OS 5.0 in my fire tv and every time my neighbor turns on their screen mirroring my amazon fire tv pops up a screen for it, they ate on a different network, not mine, and I don't have screen mirroring enabled, so it's there a way to stop this and/or hide my fire tv from being seen by others?

What? How could that be possible, if you don't have shared networks?
Do you actually get your neighbour's mobile screen on you tv???

Check your router, he's not in you wireless network!
Check your firetv wireless, you're not allowing anyone to connect freely.

Check your firetv, his mobile is not paired as a remote device.

I actually thought he hacked my network, but my router doesn't show his device, plus I looked at his phone and my network isn't in it, he had comcast and I have verizon, so I'm at a loss! Like I said I don't even have mirroring turned on in in settings,he can never connect but the screen pops up every time he turns on his screen mirroring, pain in the butt!

Screen mirroring aka MiraCast isn´t done via your network. It is done via a direct WiFi connection between both devices (aka WiFi Direct). That´s the reason you won´t find your neighbours device in your network. If the connection request pops up it´s the fault by your neighbour because he chooses your device as target. If he would choose his own device you wouldn´t get a request. I´m not on FireOS5 but there might be 2 settings, one which does block automatic connections but leaves MiraCast enabled and a general setting for turning MiraCast/Screen mirroring completely off.
