Hi I have a Samsung smart TV wired direct to my wireless router
Using Samsung link on TV I could stream video or pictures to my TV via wireless network on my tab 2
But When I try to do it with my g pad it shows connect to TV when playing Video but when it connects and plays it switches Bluetooth on and plays via that
So I assumes its connect via DLA as TV does not have Bluetooth The Samsung tab connects via Wi-Fi via router using Samsung all share on my PC
But when I check on the G pad in the setting add device it shoes my router and both TV and PC as there on wi-fi but G pad will not use it it shows the Bluetooth symbol when connected
Is there a program that I can use to watch the same way as my as my tab 2
My Samsung TV does not support Wi-Fi direct

Hi all,
I have a Plasma tv Samsung PS50B850, with its wifi USB key. I'd like to stream my 720p video taken with SGS via DLNA to the 50' tv. Actually I can do it only through a wifi router. The problem is that the router doesn't support wifi/n but only b/g and the result is not good: video are not smooth and they keep on stopping/playing.
It would be better to connect SGS to tv wifi key directly, in order to use wifi n type connection, but I wasn't able to see the tv network on my SGS. I also tried with an ad hoc connection, but no way.
Is there someone with the same equipment that can help me?
Thx so much!
Just to report that dlna is a lot bette with Eclair. I just tested it with JM5 and even if I am with 108 Mbps LAN and g class for wifi (no n class), HD video are played smoothly, without skipping.
if the firetv is connected to the internet via rj-45 wired ethernet, would it be possible to turn the the firetv into a miracast sink (receiver) with wi-fi direct using the wireless adapter simultaneously.
Hi Guys,
Basically, you don't even need root for this.
You need to get a DIR-615 router. (I got mine for £10 delivered). I've gone for the D4 revision but I believe most work. Unless of course your router supports DDWRT.
I'd suggest getting this as an additional router. I've got a BT Homehub 5, and the lan cable from that connects into the DIR-615 internet port. So effectively two networks, one for DNS the other for anything else.
Next, install DD-WRT. Change the default IP to 192.168.5.(whatever). Just make sure where 5 is, it's not 1 as it will conflict and not give you internet access.
Next, get a smart dns provider. (DDWRT also supports VPN) - smartdns is an easier way. Put the IP addresses in the DNS fields.
All set up, running NBC Live sports from home on the TV.
Not to mention, with the video add ons - none will be blocked from UK. etc.
Hi,
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking to do, just didn't think anyone else would be doing the same thing!
So if I understand you correctly your set up is this:
Your Master Socket is connected to your BT HomeHub 5.
You then connect your BT HomeHub 5 to the DIR-615 via Ethernet?
You install DD-WRT, set up the VPN settings etc, and then connect your Fire TV to the DIR 615 rather than the HomeHub?
I currently have a Openreach Modem which connects to the master socket. I then have a ASUS RT-N66U connected to the Openreach modem via Ethernet. Am I right in assuming if I buy and connect a DIR - 615 to the Asus via an ethernet port and then do the above I can achieve the same thing? I
I'm looking to buy a fire TV so I can watch NBC Sports Live Extra on my TV. I only want a VPN connection on my FireTV only when I'm watching NBC not my other devices etc hence why I second router would actually work perfectly for me.
If all you want to do is bypass geographic restrictions so you can watch NBC sports then all you need is a smart dns provider, a popular one is Unotelly but there are loads out there...
I have set up using the below instructions (which are wireless) so when wanting to watch the Premiership on NBC I just unplug my Ethernet cable and connect to my router wirelessly which then has all the correct settings

Exactly . Very easy to set up! SmartDNS is set up for me, not a VPN. NBC works brilliantly.
Although, NBC has been hacked on XBMC - login not even needed (SmartDNS is still needed). But for the App, it will work great too.
My next port of call is getting a wireless harddrive, or something that takes USB/SD Cards, and wireless devices can pick this up - Essentially so I can download episodes etc from XBMC/PC to it and watch on Fire TV.
Can't be done with BT home hub 5 though can it? DNS is blocked I believe.
Is the Fire TV Stick easier to set up in a hotel than a Chromecast (with the AP Isolation issues)?
Am I right is saying that the Fire TV Stick is not dependent on the Wifi signal for the speed at which it 'flings' a media file, the Wifi is used to make a direct wireless connection between the fling sender and the fling receiver?
You can login through Chrome browser in Fire Tv.

Hmm the network connection is in the path of the data from the sender to the stick. You will always have a dependency on network throughput unless you are playing from local media storage - which the stick doesnt support.
If you are interested in playing from a local storage device, one thing you can do is invest $20 in one of the HooToo Tripmate travel routers. They have usb ports that you can plug in a local drive and share via wifi to your stick.
Sorry, I'm not very proficient with this, I had heard of WiFi Direct (http://www.howtogeek.com/178691/htg-explains-what-is-wi-fi-direct-and-how-does-it-work/) and thought that maybe this is how the Fire TV Stick worked - the sender and receiver needs to be on the same network to 'find' each other but then communicate directly.
I have tried using plex on my android phone to stream from my home plex server (admittedly over mobile internet) and the experience was underwhelming. I had thought that maybe (just maybe) I could load up my tablet with media and using a Fire TV Stick fling the media at a TV using this direct connection and avoid any slowdowns on hotel wifi. If this isn't going to work I have just bought a Raspberry Pi2 which I can connect using an actual cable (how 20th century!!!!)

You can achieve local playback to a FTV easily with one of the HooToo Tripmates. They give you a local wifi hotspot. Devices plugged into the hotspot can be shared (like usb drives etc). Media on your wifi connected devices can be accessed as well. Your tablet and FTV would connect to the Tripmate wifi and not to the hotel. The Tripmate can connect to the hotel and allow your devices to connect to the internet for netflix etc.. You have many options using this method.
Can someone point me to where in the file structure of the Amazon Fire TV I can find the wireless setting history as I would like to mimic this on my phone as a hotspot.
As some background, it is currently connected to a router via the ethernet, and I cannot remember the wireless settings when we used wireless, and.... i left the remote behind, so I can only access it via my phone remote - meaning it has to be connected to the internet - which I assume that it has to stay connected to the ethernet.
thanks in advance.
Si
Pretty sure wifi info is stored on the cloud.
