I have a laptop w/ widi, but could use it on my other non-wid laptops Is the transmitter the same?

Yo, the laptop w/widi is its own transmitter. The non widi laptops require the USB transmitter, but it needs to meet the system requirements .

I don't know as I sent the item back to Amazon because it functioned so poorly. I ended up using AirParrot over an Apple TV, which works with just about any laptop.

Not sure what you are asking, "Is the transmitter the same?" Same as what? The Actiontec device should work on any laptop that is not WIDI, assuming the laptop has the CPU/GPU horsepower and resources to push an HD quality video stream to your TV via the Actiontec transmitter.

It is, I've used it with my Google TV, pushing screen image to it through WIDI. It does tend to be spotty, now works, now doesn't, but not sure if that is because of my Google TV or the laptop - I didn't care enough to troubleshoot more.

I think there's a good chance that it would provided the Miccuss rtx was the transmitter. The reason I think so is that an amplifier like this really doesn't care what sort of information is encoded onto the radio signal, only its frequency, and Bluetooth operates on the same 2.4Ghz frequency band as wifi.BTW, Bluetooth is not Wi-Fi and has nothing to do with it. It predates wifi (1993 Vs. 1997) and was intended to create a "personal area network" to replace cables. Nor was it invented by IBM. Ericsson is the original designer.

Hi. I first didn't have any troubles with this product, but then I had the dumb idea of upgrading the widi software in my laptop and the widi software of this product. Since that day I have problems with video and audio, at least once a day... But I just disconnect the.connection between my laptop and my Belkin screencast and I let my laptop recognize the adapter again, and then it works again... I don't really like doing that, but it still works well when that doesn't happen...

I don't know the exact answer, but I strongly suspect it would work without conflict. Each of the range extenders would have to have its own network name (SSID). Even using only one range extender, the Wifi receiver on my laptop detects both my router's SSID and the network Extender's different SSID (with strength of each depending on proximity to the respective sender unit). Either can be selected and connected depending on its strength. I suspect a second range extender would just be seen as a third WiFi signal with a different name by the wireless radio of the laptop. However, I'm not a LAN expert and could be wrong about this. I don't know the exact answer, but I strongly suspect it would work without conflict.

It has WiDi.. It doesn't work very well with my Lenevo ideapad. My Laptop doesn't recognize the TV. After several attempts when it does and connects, it works fine. However, the quality is not as good as Apple's Airplay.

The one I replaced this with you can use with laptop. I don't know why you would want to use this one though. I'm sure laptop built ins are much louder than the Satechi wireless.

Can the unit work as a wireless transceiver for a laptop without a wifi transceiver? I mean, I have a laptop whose wireless radio stopped working; could I plug this thing in to its ethernet jack to get it to act like a wifi card?

You can use this device with serial port on your laptop. In this configuration, you would either connect to another identical unit connected to another serial port, or to any other laptop or computer with Bluetooth capability.Think of it as a Bluetooth wireless serial bridge. You either remote connect to a serial device or you use two of them to create a wireless serial bridge.

No. This unit works only with laptops equipped with Intel WiDi (wireless display). There are a limited number of higher end laptops that have WiDi and to my knowledge, no tablets as of yet. Basically, Widi sends your laptop display (audio, video and graphics to your wireless router which in turn sends it to the Push 2 TV device which is plugged into your flatscreen TV by way of HDMI cable. Intel WiDi is an additional device (hardware) and requires device drivers (software) to operate.

Most transmitters and receivers are brand specific so I would be hesitant. Sometimes the receiver is "universal" and can be binded to any transmitter.

Nope. Good try. Call Mixrosoft and see if you can get 1 transmitter for both.

Hi. You don't need widi. Just hdmi on your tv and USB on you laptop. This thing works pretty good but does not have the greatest range. You need to be in line with the receiver antena.

This one is a slave device, so you would need a transmitter if you wanted it to communicate with a master device. I am not sure which transmitter you need though.

I use a widi connection, you only need a device if your TV is not widi compatible. I believe I have a dlink widi device for my TV

My understanding is that it's supposed to using an adapter, but I don't use WiDi so I don't know for sure.

Yes I Hope, you should have " Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 or Centrino® Advanced N 6200 wireless card " for the WIDI in DELL laptops.And this laptop does have Wireless - N.
