Have jumped through all the hoops thanks, when will manufacturers learn that consumers are tired of the dozen adapters and connectors required to support what could be an essentially simple technology. Manufacturers need to get it together and create a universal standard for average people, not everyone is technically inclined or has hours and hours to waste trying to connect their devices.
Laptop is acer v5 571, all hardware other than adapter is supported. Would like mirroring of the desktop but not essential. Other than mirror is there any quality advantage for streaming content over Widi? I can currently stream netflix, youtube, vudu, network shares etc over wifi instantly from tablet, phone or laptop.
What additional benefits can be attained using WiDi? Would like to know if it is worth the effort to replace atheros adapter in laptop with centrino 6235 then going through the unsupported software install and crossing my fingers hoping it will work.
Thanks and happy surfing.
