Perhaps you can 'reclaim' an old PCI-E card from an old (but not too old, must support Miracast of course.) laptop? The good news is that most modern laptop, phone or tablet built-in wifi cards will support Miracast. Ask the shop assistant and their face will be a picture. Some probably do, some store bought internal cards probably do, but good luck in finding those specs on the web or anywhere. Wireless cards are more likely to support this as Miracast tends to be used with them (or has been in the past), but even then add-on USB wifi sticks tend not to support this. The network card needs to support the NDIS 6.4 standard. It only cares that you have a vid card that can support Miracast (so all modern Intel, AMD and Nvidia cards will do this) and that your network card can support Miracast.Īnd that's where the problem lies. Miracast does not care what CPU you have (this rumour comes from old proprietary Intel WiDi stuff, which I told you to forget about, and is very ancient and irrelevant info). No need to use my Roku stick for this ever again. W10 PCs now make the BEST Miracast destinations by far just because of this. Try it with your phone or tablet or laptop which supports Miracast, now you don't have to disconnect from your LAN and connect directly to the client device. This has the advantage of being able to access the internet and other network resources whilst also projecting your display unlike a direct connection (but also adds potential competition for bandwidth, so watch out).

This system in AU is Miracast, even though it can use the network (through the router) to talk rather than via a direct wifi link to the device concerned (as you may be more used to with Miracast). Firstly, forget WiDi as this is something else (long history, just forget it). OK, this is not an easy thing to get a handle on (but works well once you do).
