Windows 10: MS Wireless Display Adapter - IP Address allocated to PC?

Hello!


I'm using the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter V2 in my setup currently, to be able to cast my screen onto a TV.


I'm seeing some random IP addresses appear next to the Wireless Ethernet Adapter when I run an IPCONFIG /all on my PC, BUT only while I am beaming wirelessly to the device.


Is there some documentation available, to explain how the IP addressing of these devices work? Sometimes, I seem to be allocated a 192 address to the device - other times a 172 address!


Thanks for any help anybody can provide!

:)

 

MS Wireless Display adapter stopped 2018

Hi David,

A few possible reasons can be the cause of this problem including a recent update that introduced compatibility issues with the Wireless Display driver. In line with this, we recommend that you update or reinstall the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter driver

  Update Driver.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver: Open Device Manager, right-click the name of the device, and select
Uninstall. Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

Windows Wireless Display Adapter-not connecting anymore

Hello Phillip,

Did you notice any changes on your PC prior to the issue? I suggest that you follow the steps outlined in this support article:
Troubleshooting Wireless Display Adapters.

Since updating drivers did not work, in addition, you can try to reset the Wireless Adapter.

1. On the adapter, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
2. When the message " Ready to connect "shows, open the
   Action Center.
3. Select Connect, and in the list of displays, select
   Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.
