Hi I work for a high school and have been trialing WiDi connections over the last few weeks. I am using an acer travelmate B113 series netbook. I have widi and miracast inbuilt on my tv at home and had no problems connecting with the laptop. In fact after testing streaming and internet connectivity I went and purchased a Push2TV adapter(ptv300) to start giving teachers a chance to trial the device on projectors and T.V's.at the school. When you start up widi on computer the laptop can see the device so you hit connect and the passcode comes up on screen so I enter the passcode into laptop and it says connecting to wireless device but then doesnt connect and times out. It says to restart display and or computer which i have done several times(more than i want to say). I then took it back home thinking it was the netgear device but alas same issue on home tv now too.(T.V. had been updated since the last lot of testing so i put it down to that). My samsung note tab connects flawlessly but I believe that is using miracast technology. The laptop has been fully updated running windows 8 > Firewall shut down and security shut down. Have also turned wifi off to aleviate any problems there. Ran WiDi update tool says all good. Any help would be appreciated as I am running out of options. Thanks in advance.
