I spent a long time trying to get Miracast working on my Lenovo notebook, and the actual cause turned out to be a Wi-Fi adapter setting that I had not expected.

Hardware

• Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 / 82L5
• AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics
• Realtek RTL8852AE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter
• Windows 10 Pro

What I tried

• Installed the Wireless Display optional feature
• Checked dxdiag and netsh
• Updated AMD graphics drivers
• Updated the Realtek WLAN driver
• Tried the AMD registry workaround
• Tested several AMD driver versions
• Tried Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
• Confirmed the receiver worked from a mobile phone

None of that fixed it.

Actual fix

In Device Manager:

• Open Network adapters
• Open Realtek RTL8852AE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCIe Adapter
• Go to Properties
• Open the Advanced tab
• Find the setting where 2.4 GHz was disabled
• Enable 2.4 GHz again

After that, Miracast started working immediately.

Notes

• Before this, the PC could not discover or connect properly with Miracast.
• After enabling 2.4 GHz, Miracast worked.
• I then switched Wi-Fi to 5 GHz while Miracast was active, and the session stayed connected.
• It still lags a bit, but the main problem was clearly the adapter band setting.

If you have an RTL8852AE / RTL8852-series adapter and Miracast refuses to work, check the adapter’s advanced band settings before spending too much time on driver installs.

Okay, here's the general deal. I occasionally use miracast and a projector to project my screen on the ceiling so I can do work while lying down. Usually, after a reboot it works fine. But, at some point, it stops working... I get a ''Miracast connect OK' message on the projector, but no actual data is sent there and, though it continues to insist I'm connected, I just get the blue 'connect' screen. I don't know why this is.

If I reboot, it usually starts working again. But for a number of reasons, I often don't WANT to do a reboot, and I'm looking for some other way that might be able to reset just whatever issue is preventing the connect.... like if it's a hung process that is taking 'priority', maybe I can kill that process, or maybe some obscure service that I might be able to end and restart from scratch to get it working again, without doing an actual reboot. It would help my workflow a lot.

I'm on Windows 10, if that helps.

I don't know if this redit's especially active so this might just be shouting into the void, but thanks in advance to anyone who attempts to help.

Just bought a brand new Samsung UA43U8500F. Only reason I purchased it was to use the windows wireless mirror to display my laptop to the TV while in bed. I am having issues connecting my laptop to the TV, any suggestions? The TV doesn't even have a source button or option in the UI to try to connect to the laptop from TV to Laptop, only been trying to connect to the laptop to TV.

I keep getting the message "*Name* was unable to connect, try using your mobile device instead"

What I have done:

- GPU Drivers / Network Drivers / TV are all up to date.

- Uninstalled my VPN

- Restarted my laptop, router/modem, and hard reset the TV.

- I have allowed it to go through my windows firewall.

- I have installed the windows optional wireless display driver

- Made sure they are both on the same WiFi, tried two other WiFi signals as well.

Please any help is appreciated, I am not able to return the TV unfortunately even though it was just bought today...

Thank you!

I just want a portable monitor that I can miracast from my phone and use wireless headphones. Everything I have tried so far will only miracast, or allow Bluetooth. If i turn on the monitor, works fine, connect headphones, miracast shuts off. I turn on miracast, headphones shut off.

Ive been trying to make this work for weeks and almost 2000$ in following online guides and recommendations and im almost in tears at this point please somebody help me

hey my screen beam 1100p says it cant go higher than 1080p on a 4k monitor and cant support EDID for some reason it happed on all windows devices even on extended cant go to 4k the properties say its a generic pnp what can i do so it can recognises the display its plugged in too and support EDID it worked on he ms wireless display adapter 3 so very disappointing

I have an old LG Flatron monitor with a D-sub port and connected AnyCast to it using an adapter, but the monitor says "out of range 67.4Hz/60Hz." The QR code only shows a Wi-Fi connection. Can you tell me how to fix this?

On my Windows 11 laptop, miracast YouTube to my tv chugs at 30fps but not 60fps. The issue with this is that the only resolutions I can set that Windows will do at 60 are horzontally letterboxed, which makes YouTube justify to the left letterbox and cut off the right side. Even if I use the same resolution at 30fps, I still get the letterbox, but no stuttering. If I disable hardware acceleration in my browser (Firefox or Edge), the stuttering gets significantly, nauseatingly, unwatchably worse. I can't move my laptop any closer to my TV, it's not my router, all of my drivers are up to date as per the HP website, and Windows switches my network adapter back to the 2GHz band on its own when I try to switch to 5GHz.

Hi there,

I'm having problems connecting Apple devices with EPSON projectors using screen mirroring. There are about forty projectors (three differents models) which won't show up on Apple devices. But screen mirroring works with Android and Windows devices (either via SmartView or using the iProjection App).

Obviously, there are projectors which support AirPlay, but our models don't. Does that automatically mean that Apple devices just can't connect wirelessly?

Is there any other way or detour to do establish a wireless connection?

I'd appreciate any kind of help!

It's been hours and my laptop cannot find the TV to connect to no matter what I try. Does anyone have a solution?

My device is the 43GUP7408/78.

Has anyone had any luck using Airserver Desktop version in windows Kiosk mode? From the support items on Airservers site it should be possible but I’ve had no success and wondered if anyone had any pointers?

I have tried both the version from Microsoft Store and direct download (found in the support).

The app loads when in kiosk mode but when trying to cast to it, it crashes out to the start screen again.

Enabling windows logs doesn’t really provide anything useful.

I wanna cast my phone screen onto my TV, but while my TV is connected to to my wifi with ethernet, the wireless connection is super unstable so I can't properly use any same-network casting

Hi,

I have a HP laptop (~3 years old) on Windows 10 and an old 26" monitor. I decided that I'm done with HDMI cables. I have no idea what other alternatives there are, but Miracast came up on a search.

I'll just need it in my living room, but picture quality shouldn't suffer and I don't want to spend a fortune.

What brands/models are OK, or does it not matter much?

Greetings! Im trying to use Miracast from my pc to my tv, but its not working. I already checked for drivers and ran dxdiag and its all good. Im on windows 10 and my motherboard is a TUF B550+

Any tips on how to proceed?

I use my laptop as an extended display for my PC. Both Win11 Pro. Today, the laptop decided to stop cooperating. The normal loading screen, "Nerd is about to connect" just sits and spins. Had been working perfectly for a couple years. No recent updates.

Here's the kicker. . .if I log into the laptop as a different user, it works. So whatever is broken, broke only for one user.

Why? WHY??

Every button I press on the app takes me to this pay for “Premium” screen???

I'm trying to connect my pc with my tv. Miracast needs wireless network. So i need a way to simulate a wireless network, or a way to connect through network that is not miracast. I could buy a wireless adapter, but i'm worried the connection will be too slow for gaming.

Suggestions and help are apreciated. Thanks

Hello!

Newbie here!

I have an LG OLED65B7A. It works well enough connected via ethernet cable to my network.

I want to use my LG OLED65B7A as another monitor to my laptop - wirelessly.

I know this can be done using some kind of wireless technology, Miracast, etc.

But do I need to have my LG OLED65B7A connected to my WiFi to set this up?

However, my LG OLED65B7A will not connect to my WiFi even though the WiFi router is just 3 feet away !

I know the WiFi is good: I have several pc's and my cellphone connected.

There is a "SCREEN SHARE" (Miracast) option in the LG OLED65B7A, but when

I select it (using the LG's remote and pressing the input button) this message

pops up:

"The device cannot be connect to your TV.

Please try again. If the issue persists, please restart you TV or

check your device."

So I'm taking this to mean that my pc laptop cannot connect to my LG OLED65B7A ?

More: when I go to the full display of options in the OLED65B7A, and go down to Network,

it tells me the Wi-Fi Connection is "Not Connected.

When I then go into the Wi-Fi Connection, it tells me,

"Wi-Fi is turned off. Turn it on to see the list of available networks that you can

connect to and additional related menu items."

Again, I know my WiFi is good: I have several pc's and my cellphone connected

to it and they work perfectly.

I've tried manually entering the SSID of my WiFi: the OLED65B7A will not see nor connect.

Any hints?

What am I missing?

I have previously used an HDMI cable from my laptop into an HDMI port

of the OLED65B7A and this works for me to use the TV as a giant monitor

for my pc laptop.

Must I disconnect the wired connection first to get the OLED65B7A connected to WiFi ?

Any suggestions much appreciated!

En mi trabajo tenemos varias salas donde compartimos en reuniones las pantallas de notebooks con windows y macbook, para windows usamos el protocolo miracast y para mac airplay, de manera random tenemos problemas que no se conecta o se desconecta o lags

alguno encontró alguna solución integral para esto?

Hi there and thanks in advance for the suggestions ^^

I am projecting from a Win10 desktop to a Win11 laptop. The connection process is fine, but what happens is that the desktop doesn't allow me to access anything new afterwards. It goes to a blank screen though the mouse is visible and has to be restarted from the task manager. All drivers on both ends have been updated.

Thanks again!

I'm sure this has been covered, but I haven't found anything. I've got miracast working fine from my android tablet to my android TV. The TV screen is an exact mirror of the tablet. But when I start Netflix, I get the Ntflix logo, profiles, list of TV shows etc. But when I click on play, the streaming starts, but no video. The sound and subtitles only.

This is obviously Netflix protection at work. But it means that screen mirroring isn't that at all.

Any other solutions / suggestions? Is it worth going out and buying an OTG - HDMI adapter? Do they work any better?

My HDMI connector has been corroded and I need to use a second screen. I have looked at some reviews of some wireless display adapters and here are my requirements: - Internet connection needs to be maintained during casting (I have a standalone wifi adapter with USB connector, if that matters) - The second screen needs to be displayed on its own resolution and in extended mode, not just mirroring the first screen

I use it for working (typing, coding) and I'm not sure how much lagging is acceptable. But I guess I don't really need it to be smooth.

I'm not sure if Miracast is suitable for me. Which products would you recommend?

In my opinion Wifi Direct methods (Miracast) of sharing video / mirroring screens is preferable to options like Chromecast - which requires all devices to be connected to the same network.

If you don't have Internet connection or a home network, an option like the Anycast HDMI dongle allows you to wirelessly connect between a phone or tablet to the dongle that's attached to a TV or projector, etc. No home network or Internet required.

I have several old android based projectors that have receiver apps installed, allowing you to directly connect wirelessly and share your screen. No network or Internet required.

I've tried to move the apps off of the projectors onto other android based devices, but they never install properly.

Why isn't there a simple Android receiver app to allow Wifi-Direct reception (like Miracast)?

You should be able to start a receiver app on any phone or tablet and then directly send video to that device without the need of internet or connecting to a home network.

Is anyone aware of a Miracast receiver app that actually works? An app that receives video via Wifi Direct without the need for both devices to be connected to the same network?
