Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works great! Connected to projector with HDMI, installed wifi display helper on a Nexus 7 from the play store, had it connected in seconds. Full screen mirroring from the device to the projector with sound. With the external keyboard makes using the Nexus really nice on a big screen. Also connected a Dell XPS 14. Had to purchase a Dell Intel wireless nic and ditch the Killer brand nic. Removed the intel nic video driver in the device management, left the nvidia alone, had windows update install the intel video, downloaded widi updater from Intel support site, ran it, it updated a couple programs and installed a widi program that opens and you see the adapter you purchases and have connected to your projector, type in a password it gives you and your connected. I was not able to use an HDMI to VGA adapter inline with this adapter so I could make this work on an older projector that didnt' have HDMI but I am still trying other things.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding on Surface Pro! Piloting these to use in a school setting. The video quality from a surface pro is amazing. Noticeably better then Chromecast, Epson Wireless, Apple TV Etc. Testing using a Surface Pro. I was unable to get it to work with a Asus Vivotab but did not spend too much time troubleshooting (we're ditching all of our Vivotabs).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WiDi/Miracast This unit and it's two sister units will replace our overhead projectors in conference rooms. The ability for any user to cast to the 70" screens sans wires makes the company better and presentations better. The ROI for this is amazing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Review of Miracast Very difficult to use. Spent a great deal of time setting it up and still did not work.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Bad connectivity The concept of this Bluetooth device is exactly what I needed, however it does not function with the consistency I need for it to be adequately functional. The problem is in the connection which continuously drops out forcing a complete reconnection process each time I try to use it. If I try to stream any presentation or video from any computer to the display TV, the C2G drops the connection every 10 minutes, making it difficult to follow a complete video. Very disappointing.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Sometimes works. My laptop "sees" it but cant connect to it.?? Android phone connects but sometimes audio/video is choppy sometimes OK. devices are 20 feet or less apart. Wish I would have just got a 20 ft HDMI cable.

Questions & Answers

Question about the miracast wireless adapter. This will only transmit the video quality of the original source correct? In other words does it up convert say 720p to 1080p? Thank you

Asked by: TC
Miracast will not upconvert. The Miracast will only provide the same resolution that the source outputs.

What's the functional difference between items 29358 and 29368?

Asked by: Anonymous
There is no functional difference with 29648 and 29358. Both parts come with the Miracast unit and a power cable to plug into a USB port for power. Part 29648 comes with an additional HDMI cable and a USB to AC adapter.

I am running the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard which doesn't have Bluetooth capability. What I want is to stream from my PC to my Samsung Smart TV that does have Miracast incorporated into it. Will your product allow me to do this?

Asked by: BuzzMasterian
If you have an HDMI output on the video card, you could use our part 29329. It does wireless HDMI from a TX and RX unit up to 100ft. We do not have just a TX unit that will allow you to connect the PC directly to the Miracast on the TV.
