The product works sporadically. I have a suface pro 3, and projecting to the wireless device connected to my tv. The screen comes in and out all the time. I dont have to use the usb transmitter because of the widi built into surface. The signal drops every so often. Ever Since the update it has been spotty most of the time. When i use my laptop which is running windows 7 premium with the usb adapter transmitter it seems to pause a lot. Sound is choppy. I use it to extend my screens on both of them and you can see the lag on the mouse to the tv is about anywhere from a micro second to about 5 seconds. Actiontec needs to do another update. My receiver is connected to my tv which is about 10 feet from my desk. So the lag and spotiness should not be affected by distance.

This WiDi adapter worked a lot better than the Netgear Push2TV 3000. The WiDi does not drop as easily and does drop at all when playing flash content which is what got annoying with the Push2TV 3000. As far as getting a WiDi laptop, do your homework! Read up on any laptop you buy and make sure you see that it is full WiDi capable from the manufacturers website. Some newer laptops have a WiDi chipset but it isn't a WiDi compliant laptop. Make sure to test out the WiDi feature ASAP using this device as a receiver. Return the laptop if it doesn't connect after getting the error from the intel.com download of the latest WiDi driver: Your system doe not meet the minimum system requirements. My friends laptop said it was WiDi Capable but was one driver version away from having it work so again, WiDi works flawlessly with this device as long as you are 100% certain that the unit you're trying to connect to this WiDi receiver meets all the requirements for WiDi as detailed on Intel's WiDi site.

I used this product to mount off a remote conference projector. It works good for the most part with a couple of times needing to manually reset it but not certain if it was the computer. The other issue is each computer used to interface with device needs the software loaded if not using a single computer to run the device.
