Please be patient - forum newbie here.
Having a problem connecting home built PC to TV via Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter 2 (MWDA2). My surface pro 3 and Samsung Note 3 Miracast to my TV via MWDA2 OK, but when I try from my home built PC, all I get to see on the TV is "Connecting to DESKTOP" (DESKTOP is name of my PC) for about 15 seconds. Following this, I receive the message "Pairing with DESKTOP failed - try again". The only hint I get from the PC is that after the failed pairing message comes up, the PC says "Your television quit waiting. Try adding again." I've been at this for quite awhile now - and I am now not sure of what I can do (is there anyways to increase the wait time for devices that are being paired - maybe somewhere in the registry?).
By way of background, PC is connecting wirelessly to network via DLink DWA 192 AC1900 USB 3 attached NIC. Network is Netgear D7000 AC 1900 2.4/5G 802.11ac. Video card is NVIDIA GTX950. Distance from PC to router is 1.5 meters. Distance from Router to TV is 5 meters. I want to run it over 5G but have seen somewhere that it needs to be on 2.4G for initial pairing - which is the case. I've completely opened up the firewall when trying to pair, but no good.
DxDiag tells me that Miracast is available over HDCP. NDIS version is 6.5. WDDM version is 2.1. It's supposed be at least 1.3 for it to work and NVIDIA's Maxwell GPU is supposed to be Miracast compliant - as are all 900 series GPUs - but Noooo! DxDiag states under GPU section that Miracast is not supported by latest driver - but I have the latest drivers?!? I have deleted and reinstalled both Wireless NIC and GPU drivers and still no good. I am really getting frustrated here as I get so close (it tries to pair and then fails). Will I have to go to a full Intel environment (at least CPU & GPU) to get this working even though I've just bought new NIC and GPU to get Miracast working as per -

I have an Intel I7 3770 3.5Ghz CPU running Ivy Bridge, 32GB RAM and 24TB of storage in Raid 6 array. Anything anyone can do to help me get the Miracast working on my PC will be very much appreciated...
