Therefore, it just needs to broadcast the signal AA> over the LAN and the wifi from the router should broadcast it. The way I understand it is that if you have the Wireless Display capability enabled / included within your PC, it broadcasts wireless directly from the PC to the MICROSOFT display device, which I believe works on the Miracast technology. It does NOT run through LAN to a router; so unlike a Ring Door Bell, as an example, it does not require pairing the Wireless Display to the router. It works more like bluetooth. I hope that makes sense. You have to have the PC within 200ft range of the dongle to get good reception for it to work as a result; unless they make some type of repeater. Considering my TV as well as my second monitor are within 10ft of the PC, I can speak to it working perfectly. And, it's not consuming resources or bandwidth (whatever it's called) from the router. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32) * Origin: The Underground [@] theunderground.us:10023 <-port (1:227/702) SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854 SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280 PATH: 227/702 229/426 |
