Works as advertised BUT you must have the latest graphic drivers installed for it to function. I tried using the installation instructions that came with it but it was worthless.. I had to do a lot of research and found out that you must have the latest graphic drivers to make it work. Once I got the drivers, everything worked like it should. Good display and sound. I do notice that you can't be more than 15 feet away.. If you do, signal gets bad. Overall, it's worth the money if you're really wanting to stream EVERYTHING from your laptop into your TV.

Took a few days to figure out that it doesn't work so well with other wireless components in the house. I have to remove my printer to offset a conflict. When you plug it in, the device automatically changes your input on your television. (Pretty nice). But if you want to switch to another input such as your TV programming, it will switch it right back automatically. Have to unplug the receiver to stop that. Now for distance, this device is great if you are in a big room. Another thing my son has found that you don't want to use this to play a game on a big screen TV. There is a second or 2 delay and you toon will get killed if you aren't watching your game on your main computer screen. Hope that answer a question for you gamers out there.

I use this mostly with my desktop computer (HP Rove) to stream Netflix to my TV. It works very well with my PC, but it doesn't stay connected when using my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5).

For connecting older devices to an older TV, the device works well enough. Configuration was only a minor pain. Each device that needs to connect to the TV must install a software and have the transmitter plugged into a USB port. Newer Windows and Android (not Apple) devices that have built-in Wi-Di or other connecting technology can connect without the transmitter.

If you get over ten feet away signal gets poor and freezes. Works great under ten feet. Could use longer distance

QuestionSamsung HDTV say No Network ConnectionMy Samsung HDTV says No Network Connection. But the wireless works in the same room on all other equipment. I think the Samsung wireless receiver is broken. Can a wireless receiver plugged into the USB port solve the problem?
Asked 10 years ago by Nancy.
- Answer Don't think so. The USB port is for data transfer only, like a thumb drive containing pictures.
