This *DOES NOT WORK* if...your desktop PC does not have a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter (either in the motherboard or an add-on Wi-Fi card). Although HowToTech mentions that he has his desktop computer connected to his wireless router via an Ethernet cable (as do I), the router WILL NOT be able to cast the desktop image to the SmartTV. I continue to search how to make the wireless router be the device to do the casting to the SmartTV. So far, I have not come up with any options.

@thanostzia Жыл бұрын
@@hynekdlouhy8121 ever since I made that comment, I solved this issue for my device, even if it didn't support Miracast. Unfortunately I cant remember exactly what I did to bypass this, but I think it had something to do with the "Wireless Display" windows optional feature. You can probably download it if you go to Windows settings, then Apps/Optional Features/Add an optional feature. I'm not sure if that's the only thing that you need to do to enable wireless display though.
