Checking the Access Point Frequency
Intel Wireless Display only works at 2.4GHz on both the PAN connection to the TV and LAN
connection to the Internet via a home wireless router. The Wi-Fi standard uses both 2.4GHz and
5GHz frequency bands. Most home wireless routers are only 2.4GHz and have no interoperability
issue with Intel Wireless Display. Some newer 802.11n home wireless routers are starting to
include support for both frequency bands. When using Intel Wireless Display, while also
connected to the Internet via your wireless router, make sure the connection to the router is set to
2.4GHz.
After making the changes required, it may be necessary to disable/enable Intel My WiFi
Technology using the following steps:
1. Right-click the Intel My WiFi Technology icon on right end of the taskbar.
2. Select Disable Intel My WiFi Technology.
3. Click the Scan for available adapters button on Intel Wireless Display. While scanning, the
application automatically enables Intel My WiFi Technology.
