Wireless hdmi connecter?
Wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver kits exist, but they are quite pricey compared to the basic TV senders. Part of the reason is that high definition requires a lot more data to be packed and transmitted. The other reason is that the signal can't be allowed to degrade in transmission, so the quality of the component (and hence the cost) is higher. Typical wireless kits are around $300-$400 a set. That's just one transmitter and one receiver, not a whole house. This is what it costs if you need full functionality (3D and HD audio) and some range. In your situation you don't need range or HD audio (the TV can't process better than DD or maybe DTS anyway) so you should choose something less fully featured. Monoprice do a kit for around $160. It should work okay from one side of the room to the other. This won't do 3D though. The other consideration with all wireless systems is that they rely on a very clean and interference-free wireless environment. That means there's not lots of competing wireless systems overlapping. You can tell about this if you have a laptop and click on the button to "See wireless networks". Another good test is how many wireless disconnects you get. If the little icon pops up "Connected to wireless network...." then you know that the signal was lost at some point. If you see this quite regularly, then it's a sign that the wireless airspace is quite busy already. Having a robust wireless signal is important because the transmitter/receiver kit relies on a consistent connection. It can't buffer and store data to the extent of a laptop, tablet or smartphone. So if the signal is disrupted then there will be picture break-up on your TV. With such a short distance to cross, then you might want to consider a longer HDMI cable and route it around the room. Or simply move the equipment closer together. Both will provide a better quality connection and probably for a lot less cash.

Setting up wireless router connection in dorm room! Dire help wanted. ):?
I'm a freshman in college and I can't get anything done with the crappy WiFi they have in dorms. I purchased a Belkin N 300 Wireless Router thinking I knew what to do, and well, as it turns out, I do not. How can I set up a wireless connection (better one) in my dorm room? Is a modem necessary? Can I do it without a modem? I have background knowledge with routers so please be detailed in your explanations. Please help! I need to do my homework and get started on work. Thank you in advance.
How can I send a video from one room to another in a really easy way with as little problems/errors possible?
As Courtney Muniz pointed out, this is precisely what Chromecast is for. And they are very inexpensive.One caveat: they do not work in most hotel room situations, because most hotel routers block client-to-client connections.
How should I setup my home internet/wireless network?
Here is what I have...Netgear R6200 and Linksys EA4500. I have a desktop in my office at the moment with the EA4500 (primary router) in the same room. Wired connection to desktop, Xbox 360 and a wire through my home (walls and all) to our master bedroom cascaded with the R6200 (secondary router) as LAN-LAN. I am wanting to know if this is the best way to do it or not. I have been researching the heck out of this. Should I switch the routers to make the R6200 the primary? Should I use LAN-WAN? The other thing is that I have a smart tv in my living room that I currently use Wifi connection on, but I am a man and want the best picture. Should I hardwire with Ethernet powerline extenders from primary router? Or should I get a second modem, uncascade the two routers, keep one modem/router in the office and the other modem/router next to the tv, thus having two separate router setups? My overall plan is to build a media server from scratch to have EVERYTHING on it and be able to stream to any device, including the TV. This will allow me to get rid of blu ray player, cable and all my external hard drives. Just have one centralized media server. Which leads to one last question, how can I stream stuff from the server to the smart TV? Media Extender? I want to be able to control it with remote. I do not want to display mirror. Any and all information and help would be greatly appreciated.
Can i get in trouble for watching illegal movies on a college campus?
If they are already downloaded to your computer, why are you downloading them again? Get your story straight. Are you asking whether you can get in trouble for illegal downloading through the university network? Yes. Understand, colleges aren't worried about the moral implications as much as the legal implications to *themselves*. You've got no money, but if the movie company goes after a university, they've got plenty of money. See link for an explanation of why universities are so hard on this.
How do I stream a Windows PC to an Android TV?
If you have a Windows 10 OS in your PC follow these steps.Ensure that both the Android TV and and your PC are connected to the same WiFi network.In your Android TV open the Screen Mirroring page. The option should be available by default amongst the app tiles in the home screen.In your PC, click the speech bubble icon at the bottom right corner of the screen.In the Windows action box, click the Connect option. You should be able to see your Android TV in the list of devicesClick on the TV in the list to attempt a connection.Another way to share media from your PC would be to share a drive or folder for everyone from windows. Then use a file explorer such as ES File Explorer to access the shared LAN drive.Yet another way to stream content would be to install a streaming software such as Plex in your PC and share media with it. You can then use Plex for Android TV or VLC to access and play the streams.Hope this helps.
I have Direct TV but the room I want to move my TV into has no coax cable and it would be a nightmare putting one in. What wireless solution can I use?
We had this problem in our house so Direct TV installed a wireless system. The main Direct TV box (hardwired) transmitted an encrypted signal to each of the wireless boxes allowing each wireless box to have the same capabilities as the main box (all channels in our package, DVR capability). The only drawback is that for right now the technology can only support four wireless boxes in the system, along with the main, hardwired box. But if you only want to connect one television then you are golden.The best part of all is, Unlike Xfinity wireless Direct TV does not interfere/use internet bandwidth. So it will not cut into your internet download/upload rate at all. You will see it on your list of WIFI networks, but you should not be able to connect to the Direct TV network via a computer.Pricing wise I believe that the price per box is relatively cheap; maybe 10.00 per box. But it would be best to ask the customer service rep.
Would a 300 Mbps router be fast enough for TV and movie streaming and gaming?
Yes, that would be more than enough capacity. A 1080p HD movie needs approximately 5 mbps, a 4K movie 20–25 mbps. It’s likely your Internet connection will be the limiting factor rather than the router.Always connect games consoles and media streaming devices to the router with an ethernet cable where possible. A wireless connection will not be as good.A simple rule: if you plug it in to get power, plug it in the get a network connection.
