HP? brother? There's a point when the install app asks how you want to connect to the printer - via usb, wired or wireless. But once they both are on the same subnet, what's miracast using that wired / wireless matters? How do protocols not work with both connection methods? Yeah, sometimes you connect to a device using its own SSID and you aren't on your LAN. whether it's on a wireless or wired connection, right? That thread ZebraMike mentions talks about Miracast over infrastructure so win 10 on a wired network should work with Miracast.īut then Roku doesn't deal with / use miracast over infrastructure?!īrings up a point if anyone knows - a device that's on a home LAN. Or disable the wired nic and just use wifi. So try the method with the wifi nic not joined to the wifi network. It can also cause lots of issues such as the device registering 2 dns entries ok dns entry keeps changing. wired nic is 100Mbps, wifi may detect 300Mbps so will be preferred even though actual throughput is probably worse. Windows auto assigns the metric on 'bandwidth' which is what it thinks the bandwidth is so you can get non-expected results e.g. Windows uses the interface "metric" to determine the gateway/NIC used.
it is the same IP network and the device gets 2 ip addresses in the same range. Miracast does not need this - it will discover miracast capable devices without being connected to a wifi network.īut to briefly cover the how does a Windows device work with 2 nics connected - lets assume they are both connected to the same actual network, one wired, one wifi i.e. If you want to add a wifi nic to use Miracast one suggestion is to do so but do not join the Wireless network. But the key thing to note is that the same discovery process is used to find capable devices and this uses the wireless adapter/driver - so you still need Wifi. Then Microsoft added support for using the existing network to send the data between client and display device - known as Miracast over infrastructure. Miracast initially only supported direct connections: it created a direct connection between the device and display. Note that Miracast itself is a specific protocol so this needs to be supported on the operating system and the NIC (NIC & driver combination).
