Your Wireless Switch Is Turned Off Normally, Wi-Fi allows the laptop to connect to the router for wireless Internet access. A new feature included with Intel Wireless Display uses Wi-Fi to wirelessly connect the laptop to the TV through the adapter. For this new Wi-Fi connection to work correctly, three switches must be turned on. The first switch is the hardware switch. It is usually located around the edge of the laptop or above the keyboard. It might be identified by a pole with two half circles on each side. Check the laptop manual for the exact location. Turn the switch on and scan again. When needed, the other two switches are automatically turned on by the application. If it is still impossible to connect because the application is not automatically turning the other switches on, see Common Solutions to Many Issues on page 23.

If the laptop screen shows that Intel My WiFi Technology is disabled, click the Scan for available adapters button to automatically enable Intel My WiFi Technology. If the Wi-Fi is already on, Intel Wireless Display automatically enables Intel My WiFi Technology. If the Wi-Fi is off, the application asks if you would like to turn on Intel My WiFi Technology. Select Yes and scan again. If this does not work, see Common Solutions to Many Issues on page 23. Unsupported Laptop Hardware For Intel Wireless Display to run, Intel My WiFi Technology must be installed, and the laptop must have an Intel Core i7, i5, or i3 processor with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD. Firewall Issues In some cases the laptop's firewall blocks the Wi-Fi connection between the laptop and the adapter. If this happens, you have to change the laptop's firewall settings. The following instructions apply to a Microsoft Windows Firewall. To allow Intel Wireless Display through a different firewall, see that firewall's product manual. There might be inconsistent results allowing the application through a firewall that is not a Microsoft Windows firewall. 1.
