The latter option will only be available if there are 2.4 and 5 GHz networks broadcast under the same SSID. Technically WiDi does not require your laptop to be connected to a wireless access point in order for it to connect to a wireless display, but if you do need to be connected to a wireless network using DFS at the same time, this can pose a problem.There are two options to bypass this: Disable DFS on your wireless access points (usually the less preferable option), or set your Intel wireless adapter to prefer 2.4 GHz networks.

It will tell you whether your computer supports Intel WiDi and update any software or drivers needed to get it working.

Every TV is different, but on our LG model you would open Settings > Network > Miracast/Intel’s WiDi and change it to “On”. Although more and more displays support Intel’s Wireless Display, most have the feature disabled by default. Intel has a short list of devices and product lines that support WiDi here. As for projectors, both Epson and NEC have product lines that come with WiDi support. A wide variety of Smart TVs also include support for WiDi such as LG, Samsung, and Toshiba. Virtually any new computer that includes an Intel processor, Intel HD graphics, and Intel wireless card supports WiDi. We used an HP EliteBook 840 and an LG 50LB6100 Smart TV for this example. Plug the external adapter into power and HDMI behind your display and you’re free to move your WiDi laptop to wherever you need it.

For those displays that don’t have it built in there are external adapters available for purchase such as the Netgear PTV3000. With Smart TVs becoming nearly ubiquitous now more and more of these displays also bundle in support for wireless display technologies, including WiDi. WiDi allows you to send high definition video and audio to a display wirelessly allowing for completely cable-free presentations and a greater flexibility in computer and display placement. There are an increasing number of solutions to this, but one that is already built in to many laptops is Intel’s Wireless Display (WiDi) solution. But cords can be as limiting as they are ugly. Plugging your laptop into a television or projector is something many of us do on a daily basis.
