Windows 10: Can hardwired PC screen mirror to TV on WiFi?

So I’ve got my pc hooked up to my router via Ethernet cable, and a TV that is on the same routers wireless WiFi network. My TCL roku tv (q825) should support MiraCast. I’m wondering if my PC has to be on the wireless WiFi to screen mirror to the TV?

Mirror PC screen to Smart TV without required hardware?

Mirroring PC screen to smart tv requires Miracast, which is WiFi only. And not every WiFi adapter supports Miracast. You would need to get a WiFi adapter for your computer that supports Miracast.

 

Mirroring laptop screen to TV - works once only.

I found connecting to the TV hit and miss. I just did it and it took at least 6 tries. I found it sometimes makes a difference whether the laptop starts the connections first or the TV. All I can do is show how I do it and hope that helps.

BTW, my Samsung TV is ten years old and doesn't have Bluetooth. That is OK because I connect to my Samsung [BD]J6300 Blue-Ray player instead.

On the Blue-Ray player I open the Screen Mirroring app that comes with it.

On the laptop I open the notification area on the right side of the screen and...

• Turn on Bluetooth if it is not on
• Select Project
• On the bottom select Connect to a wireless display
• I then select [BD]J6300 from the list
• Within 30 seconds it will connect and display

 

WiFi screen mirroring to Samsung TV?

I am attempting to mirror the 1080p display from my Dell Latitude E6530 laptop (with nVidia GPU) to my Samsung Smart TV.

The TV *was* shown in devices, but now it's not and it won't show up again. I never did have it connected by WiFi to the laptop. The TV is on my Wireless network, I watch YouTube and Crackle and mirror to it from my Samsung phone. It's a couple years old, with AllShare, but Microsoft has decided to block installing the AllShare software on Windows. (Hasn't been a firmware update for the TV in at least a year.)

Everything I can find for how to info on this for Win 10 is old and outdated, from 2015 or 2016, and things on version 1803 ain't like they used to be. How do I get it to work in 2018 with Windows 10 Pro x64 1803?

Samsung's SmartView for Windows isn't what I want. Unlike for their phones, SmartView for Windows only streams from some apps instead of mirroring the entire screen.

I do have a couple of little Android TV boxes that I've cleaned the useless junk off and done a clean install of Kodi. I could install MiraCast on one then possibly do a 'triple play' bounce through it - but that's hardly optimal when the TV is supposed to be 'smart'.
