4K/1080P Anycast M100 Wireless Display Adapter, SmartSee WiFi Display Dongle HD Screen Mirroring Dual Core H.265/HEVC Decoder HD TV Stick Without Switching Miracast Airplay DLNA Support 4K 1080P

Worked fine at first but now it keeps shutting down every 5 minutes.

Picture quality was great when it worked. Then I tried opening apps like crunchyroll, prime video screen mirroring, and it crashed, froze, and bricked itself an hour after opening it. Returning it for a full refund. Sad part is I bought my mother one so she could use her iPad to watch videos but I’m sure she’s going to have the same issues. This does not use airplay, it uses screen mirroring.

This device is a GREAT small HDMI stick with nearly perfect wireless mirroring, it works cross protocols among Airplay, MiraCast and DLNA protocols. No matter you use an iOS mobile device, a Mac, a PC or an Android device, it works, All in one. Whether you need to stream music, videos, photos, lightweight games or productivity apps, the Anycast Wireless Display Adapter can do so with no lag. Simply plug it in, connect your iOS device/PC/Android device, and see your content on the big screen. That's all the device does, and all it needs to do.

So I wanted to replace the hdmi cable from my smartphone (Galaxy s5) with this and it seems to work but... OK, so i connected the unit to an hdmi port on the HDTV and to a USB power supply (2A) - a display with instructions came up on the HDTV screen. Following the instructions, I turned the WiFi on on my smartphone and looked for the respective network, connected and entered the password provided in the instructions. A status diagram on the HDTV indicated connection was completed. So I got into the settings of my smartphone and selected screen mirroring. A pop up menu showed the unit listed (there was also a roku listed, I guess from my neighbor) so I selected it. A few moments later the smartphone screen was replicated on my HDTV screen... BINGO! Opened Amazon Prime, youtube, etc. on my phone, they all showed up on my HDTV screen... Now the BAD... A lot of times it takes multiple attempts to connect the unit to the phone once I select it in screen mirroring, even if they are right next to each other. Now, on playing video, every so often the image pixelates as if loosing signal... switched back to the hdmi plug in cable and video image looked fine. So yes, it can do the wireless thing, but I am keeping my plug in cable handy...

Good functionality but is glitchy sometimes and have to look around to get the thing working again but when it works is a good device.

This is a real Anycast device. I went to their website and asked them if this amazon store and product were theirs. They responded quickly and said it was, and they were right. I’ve received it, and it works as advertised. I can cast from Windows, Android, and IOS to it. I can watch 4K content through it just fine. I haven’t had any issues with it, and look forward to using it even more!

The best thing about this is that you can return it pretty easily. Which is good since you're basically playing roulette when you buy it. Clearly it has worked for some people, not so well for others. In my own case, it worked with my iPad, only to cut out repeatedly within half an hour. I actually was able to watch a whole film using my Android phone, but then the next day it wouldn't connect. Support, after three contacts, suggested I try their Repair tool and otherwise return the device. The Repair tool... Well, first you have to OPEN the device. Then you have to place a paper clip between two specific and TINY contacts. This takes at least two hands (more if you need a magnifying glass). THEN you have to plug in a cord. With which hand? Ah, there's the rub. It's just a ludicrous process. But I did try. And then, as suggested, returned the device. If you have time on your hands, it may be worth buying this device and seeing if you're one of the lucky few, or have the mechanical skills to use the Repair tool. Me, I have other things to do.

The "video for this product" is exactly how it went when I used it. Very straight forward, any smart phone will pick this up, no 3rd party app needed or headaches.

If I have my phone more than 5ft from the Anycast the picture pauses a lot. Occasional i have to disconnect from power source and reconnect 2-3 times to get the software to work. When I have my phone on top of the wifi antenna and it hooks up it does seem to work.
