Connection Options

Determine if you’re connecting via Wi-Fi Direct or connecting via USB Wi-Fi adapter

After the receiver is powered on, choose from one of two ways to cast the content from your device to the big
screen TV: Wi-Fi Direct or via the USB Wi-Fi adapter. This is determined by the mobile device you are using (i.e.
smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc.).

Wi-Fi Direct - Android:

If you have an Android based mobile
device (Samsung, LG, Huawei,
etc.), go to Settings and choose

Display. If you can see options like
Miracast, Cast, Smart View, or
Screen Mirroring, your device is

ready for Wi-Fi Direct. (Go to page
10 to see detailed steps).

Wi-Fi Direct - Windows 10 (for
OEM installations only):
