  5. Connect Mobile Device: On your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, go to your Wi-Fi settings. Find and connect to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the dongle (usually named "AnyCast-XXXX" or similar, with a password displayed on the screen).
  6. Configure for Mirroring: Once connected to the dongle's Wi-Fi, open a web browser on your mobile device and navigate to the IP address displayed on the dongle's screen (e.g., 192.168.49.1). This will open the dongle's settings page. From here, you can configure the dongle to connect to your home Wi-Fi network (for internet access) and select the mirroring mode (Miracast, AirPlay, DLNA).

Operating Instructions

Once the dongle is set up, you can begin mirroring your device's screen or streaming content.

Screen Mirroring (Miracast/AirPlay)

For real-time screen mirroring, activate the screen mirroring feature on your mobile device. The exact name of this feature varies by device:

  • For Android devices: Look for "Wireless Display," "Screen Mirroring," "Smart View," "Cast," or similar options in your device's settings or quick settings panel. Select the dongle from the list of available devices.
  • For iOS devices (AirPlay): Swipe down from the top-right corner (or up from the bottom for older models) to open Control Center. Tap "Screen Mirroring" and select the dongle.
  • For Windows devices: Press Windows key + P, then select "Connect to a wireless display" and choose the dongle.

DLNA Streaming

For streaming media files (videos, photos, music) from your device without mirroring the entire screen, use DLNA-compatible applications. Many media players and gallery apps on smartphones support DLNA. Look for a "Cast" or "Share" icon within the app when playing media, and select the dongle as the target device.

Connecting to Home Router (for Internet Access)

To allow the dongle and your mirrored device to access the internet simultaneously (e.g., for streaming online content), you need to connect the dongle to your home Wi-Fi router. This is done via the dongle's web-based settings page (accessed by connecting to the dongle's Wi-Fi and navigating to its IP address, as described in the Setup Guide).

  • On the settings page, find the "Internet" or "Wi-Fi" option.
  • Scan for available Wi-Fi networks and select your home router's SSID.
  • Enter your home Wi-Fi password and confirm. The dongle will then connect to your home network.
