4. Operating Modes and Compatibility

The AIMIBO Wireless Display Adapter supports two primary casting modes: Direct Mirror and DLNA, along with various display modes.

4.1. Direct Mirror Mode (iOS & macOS)

• This mode is ideal for iOS and macOS devices for instant screen mirroring.
• Steps:
  1. On your iOS/macOS device, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to the adapter's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "AMB-123"). The password will be displayed on your TV screen.
  2. Activate Screen Mirroring (AirPlay) on your device and select the adapter from the list.
• Note: Due to HDCP restrictions, some streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Hulu Plus may not be mirrored directly from iOS/macOS devices. Supported apps include Safari, Office, YouTube, Skype, Reddit, etc.

4.2. DLNA Mode (All Compatible Devices)

• For a more stable and extended streaming experience, connect the adapter to your home router network. This allows your device to stream content without consuming mobile data and provides a more robust connection.
• Steps:
  1. On your device, connect to the adapter's Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address displayed on your TV screen (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx).
  3. In the adapter's settings page, select "Internet" or "Wi-Fi Setup" and choose your home Wi-Fi network, then enter the password. The adapter will then connect to your router.
  4. Once connected, your device can cast content using DLNA or Miracast protocols through your home network.
• Compatibility: Windows and Android devices support streaming from most apps including Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Hulu Plus, etc., when using DLNA/Miracast.

4.3. Switching Between Modes

The adapter features a physical button for easy mode switching. Press the button for approximately 2 seconds to toggle between Direct Mirror and DLNA Connect modes.

4.4. Display Modes

The adapter supports three display modes:

• Mirror Mode: Duplicates your device's screen onto the larger display.
• Extend Mode: Extends your desktop, allowing you to use the larger display as a secondary monitor.
• Off-Screen Mode: Allows content to play on the larger display while your source device's screen is off or used for other tasks.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AIMIBO Wireless Display Adapter, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Display/Signal:
  • Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into the HDMI port of your display.
  • Verify that the USB-C power cable is connected and receiving sufficient power (5V/1.5A). Check if the indicator light on the adapter is on.
  • Confirm your display is set to the correct HDMI input source.
• Screen Mirroring Not Working (Google Pixel Phones):
  • If you are using a Google Pixel phone and experiencing mirroring issues, an online firmware update for the dongle may be required. Please contact customer support for guidance on this process.
• Unstable Connection or Lag:
  • Ensure your source device is within the recommended transmission range of up to 65 feet (20 meters).
  • Minimize obstacles between your device and the adapter.
  • If using DLNA mode, ensure your router provides a strong and stable Wi-Fi signal. The adapter supports dual-band 2.4G and 5.8G for improved stability.
  • Switch to 5.8G Wi-Fi if available on your router and device for less interference and faster streaming.
• Cannot Stream Certain Apps (iOS/macOS):
  • Some apps with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) such as Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu Plus are not supported for direct mirroring from iOS/macOS devices. This is a restriction imposed by content providers, not a device malfunction.
• Cannot Connect to Adapter's Wi-Fi:
  • Double-check the Wi-Fi password displayed on your TV screen.
  • Restart both your source device and the AIMIBO adapter.
