M2 Wifi Key Resolution

Hi .

I wasn't sure whether to put this in the general hardware or network threads so apologies if I've got it wrong.

I have a Maximus Hero ix which has a slot for an M2 Wifi chip. I decided to have a go installing one (I've never done it before) with some success.

I can get it to connect to my TV however it will only Miracast if I lower the resolution to 1280 x 720 (I think, i'm at work and did it last night)

My monitor runs at 1440p and I did suspect i'd have to lower the resolution for it to work on my Panasonic GT60b, However if i put it on the tv's native resolution of 1080p the screen goes black

I have noticed a setting in the bios has become available since I installed the M2 Chip and its set to x2

Does anyone know why I cant Miracast to my tv at 1080p?

help Appreciated.

so will it work on the 1280 resolution?

Yes at 720 but nothing above

Do you have any other devices to test with?

Can't find much on the TV itself but there could be a chance the Miracast receiver built into the TV is only limited to 720p.

Ahh i didn't realise that there could be a limit on that but that would make sense..

I don't think i have anything else I can use to test unfortunately....

how does miracast connect? through HDMI like a firestick?

It's built into my TV. I added a WiFi card to my pc to be able to send the signal.

I think you can get a device that plugs into your hdmi port though so you can receive the signal

Okay I’ve got you, not had much experience with that

No me neither, just fancied a crack at it.

The whole process is working just the resolution is lower
