What is Wi-Fi Direct and can I connect to the Receiver using

Wi-Fi Direct?
Wi-Fi Direct is a peer-to-peer technology that Miracast™ connections are

formed in. Even though some newer Android 4.0 and Windows 8.1

devices may pick up the Receiver in the Wi-Fi Direct devices scan list,

they will not be able to connect to the Receiver. The device must support

Miracast™ to connect with the Receiver.

Do I need an existing wireless network to use the Receiver?
No. Since the Receiver connects directly with the Intel WiDi or

Miracast™-enabled device, no wireless network is needed. However, the

source device needs to be connected to an Internet router or data network

to view online content.

What wireless signal range can I expect with the Receiver?
The Receiver is designed to be used in the same room with the

source device.

Can I push media to the Receiver using DLNA?
No. The the Receiver is not a DLNA media receiver.

Does the Receiver work with the Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod?
No. The Receiver does not support Apple devices or the AirPlay protocol.
