Wireless Display Adapter Disconnects

Hi Sid,

I totally agree with you that if you bring close to the router it will work fine. A wireless network router has a limited broadcast range. The further the computer is from the router, the weaker the broadcast signal. Solid objects, such as walls, metal furniture, and electrical appliances might interfere with the signal and decrease the usable range.

Hi Ramesh,

Where does a "wireless network router " have any relevance when discussing the Microsoft Display Adapter?

Isn't a point to point wifi connection established from the displaying device to the adapter?

Feel free to post your query on the forum if you have any concern related to Windows.

I have a new MS wireless display adapter plugged into my TV (HDMI and USB plug). Also a new Surface pro 3. After a short period of time, it just disconnects. Especially when watching a movie.  The audio/video gets choppy for a bit and then it disconnects. I'm about 10-12 feet away.

Installed wireless adapter app from windows store, but that didn't help.

..

The wireless internet router sits on the same table next to the TV. I moved it a couple feet away and was then able to watch the entire movie without it disconnecting.  Maybe that was it.

We have around 30 people using this at work around 4 hours a day.  About five have reported that it crashes their network card on their Surface Pro 3.  The only way to fix it is by restarting.  Happens at least once a day.
