Start by opening up the ‘Settings’ app from the Start Menu. It can be added to Windows 11 as an optional feature. Enabling Wireless DisplayĮnabling Wireless Display is a quick and easy process. It even allows you to use the input devices connected to your computer to operate the projected screen. Wireless Display allows other devices to connect to the computer and project their screens. Well, the Wireless display feature allows us to do that. We have managed to get the surfaces to work for a day using the dongle and stronger wifi if possible, go for dual band wifi points and dongles to get the best results.At some point, all of us have wondered if we could connect external devices to our computer’s display. I have proved that this happens by unplugging the dongle to see what dies (just the network connection) and ofcourse disabling the inbuilt to prove jsut the stream dies.

The WiFi 2 dongle is then using to conenct to the school WiFi, and the inbuilt WiFi is used for the miracast streaming. We remove the school wireless from the tablet, disconnect it and forget it, then put in the wifi dongle. We have had limited success using a nano dongle in the surfaces as well as the built in WiFi.

Stronger WiFi in the classrooms, preferably Dual band WiFi points, it definitely limits the number of drops. It really is as simple as that, other things like powerpoint changing presentation mode etc don't help, as they cause a brief interruption that they causes a drop sometimes. However, this then means the built in WiFi is connecting to both devices, aka flicking packets to each one (sometimes on different channels), what then happens is a few dropped packets and the stream to the projector dies. I say use, they can use to stream, a lot don't because it is to unrealiable.īasically, the way the devices work is they create a direct connection between the dongle and the device, no wifi needed.

As a school who seems to have engaged in this more then most, we have 14 surfaces here that teachers use to stream.
