Android

Determine if you're connecting via Wi-Fi Direct or connecting via USB Wi-Fi adapter

After the receiver is powered on, choose from one of two ways to cast the content from your device to the big screen TV: Wi-Fi Direct or via the USB Wi-Fi adapter. This is determined by the mobile device you are using (i.e. smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc.). If you're using Windows® 7, then you would need the USB WIFI adapter.

Android devices

1. On your Home screen. Using two fingers, swipe down from the top of the screen and "Options" menu will appear. From the Options menu choose "Smart View" (some older version may label it "Screen Mirroring")

1. Your device will start searching for the Duplicast Wireless A/V Receiver. Once the receiver appears, tap on it to connect.

1. After you initiate the connection, wait a few seconds for your device to establish the connection with the wireless receiver.

When a black screen displays on both the TV and your device, the connection has been established. The technical term for this is “sync”, and the two devices have now synced with each other.

After a connection is established you should be able to see a mirror image of your device on the big screen TV; whatever you do on your mobile device will be duplicated on the big screen from this point on.

To disconnect from the TV, you can either turn off your device or disconnect from the Display options screen.

Windows® 10

If you have a computer with Windows® 10 you can click on Windows key + p or go to “Setting” and choose “Display”. If you see an option for “Connect to a wireless display”, your computer is Wi-Fi Direct ready.

If you don't see any of the aforementioned options, then you need to use the wireless USB adapter to establish a connection. (Go to page 18 to see detailed steps). If you see the above screen, click on "Connect to a wireless display". Windows® will now search for the GWSSKIT, the name will be IOGEAR-xxxx.

Click on the name IOGEAR-xxxx and connection will initiate.

Once you have established connection Windows® will cast your content to the big screen. This screen will indicate that the connection is now established and you can click on “Disconnect” when you no longer want to cast to your TV.

To disconnect, simply click on “Disconnect and Windows® will terminate the connection.

Connect with the included software

If your device does not support Wi-Fi-Direct, then use the included software from the installation CD to create its own dedicated Wi-Fi connection to send the video from your small screen to the big screen. Please check the system requirements first to make sure your device meets the minimum requirements.
