Microsoft Screen Sharing for Lumia Phones HD-10 NEEDS WIFI?

[mildor]

I need wifi? if in my college there's no wifi I can still project? :unhappysweat:

not 100% sure, but Miracast (screen sharing) used Wifi direct, I believe.... so a wifi access point "shouldn't" be needed....

I hope so... someone could confirm this?

Just confirmed, you do not need to be on a Wi-Fi network to connect using Miracast. All you need is the Wi-Fi turned on the phone and the Miracast adapter connected to a projection device

Well, Miracast is Wi-Fi Direct, it doesn't use your local network, the stuff connects directly. You don't even need a router.

I'm unsure of how the Microsoft solutions work but I just ordered the Actiontec Screenbeam Mini2 off of Amazon for $39.99. It has all the Miracast and Wi-Di needed for this stuff. I'll be streaming wirelessly for my Flex 10 Win8.1 setup, my Lumia 630 and from this Android tab I ordered too.

That HD-10 had an eBay listing for $91.31 US, here's a link http://m.ebay.com/itm/351191442107?_mwBanner=1

The Microsoft Display Adapter goes for $69.99 on Amazon, I saved enough on the difference for me to snag some sweet looking Bluedio H+ Bluetooth headphones. I should have my package Tuesday. I will let you know how well it works.

Your Lumia should connect as long as Wi-Fi is enabled. Slight lag playing Zombie Tsunami, almost unnoticeable.
