First, although it works for mirroring with AirPlay it might not work for those other apps that need a real Wireless Network Infrastructure Mode, what we all call just WiFi. So, why didn’t I mention it before? Well, because it has its disadvantages too. Using WiFi Direct, which by the way it’s even more simple because you don’t need a router, in fact don’t need anything at all. And another way of mirroring with no WiFi: WiFi Direct It’s easily avoidable by setting a secure network (steps 5-8) and it prevents any anauthorised access to your data and your router having to deal with many devices login to your WiFi. Lots of smartphones will try to connect by default to a near open WiFi, and you don’t want 20+ devices connected to your network. I always recommend setting up a secure network, even if there is not connected to the Internet, for the following reason: as a teacher it’s highly likely that all the 20+ students in the classroom with you will have their smartphones on even if they are not allowed to use it, I know this by experience.
AIRSERVER LAG PASSWORD
Connect your devices (tablet, phone, computer) to the network myWIFI with the password you typed in and that’s it. Under ‘Wireless Security’ choose one among these: WPA2, WPA2-TKIP, WPA2-AES. Find the ‘Wireless’ configuration tab and enable WiFi (if it’s not enabled) and choose a Wireless Network name (SSID) for your WiFI, for example SSID: myWIFI. Once you can see the interface of your router configuration: Type the IP address into your browser address bar (Firefox, Chrome, Safari…) and type the credentials to log into the router configuration. If you don’t have one try to connect to the default WiFi which will be easy if it’s open. Use an ethernet cable to connect a computer to the router. Look for a tiny hole labeled as reset and press in it with a needle or a toothpick for 30 seconds. Typically the IP is .x (192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 are examples) and the credentials can be user=‘admin’ or none, and password=‘password’ or ‘admin’. Look on the bottom of the router for a label with an IP address and user and password. Whatever the brand of your router is the steps are all the same. Obviously the hard work has to be done at home beforehand, but the good thing is that you only need to do this once and it’s not that difficult. Needless to say this WiFi that you take with you wherever you go just creates a communication network for your devices, and doesn’t provide you with Internet connection. So, I plug the router and immediately it starts broadcasting a WiFi network to which all my devices connect automatically without me having to do anything else and I’m ready to use AirPlay (or any other app that needs the wireless network). Really that’s all you need to create your own WiFi, any WiFi router will do. If I know in advance that I won’t be able to use a WiFi network where I’m giving a class using the iPad mirroring I always take with me a spare router. The problem occurs when there is no WiFi or there is one but you don’t have authorised access to it (a.k.a you don’t know the WiFi password) in the classroom where I’m going to mirror my iPad to teach a lesson. It’s cool, but far more important than that, it make the lesson more dynamic (apart from being able to use lots of colours, pencils and tools from the note taking app of my iPad). I do this a lot: open a note taking app on my iPad and with a stylus I write whatever I have planned for the maths lesson that day and using AirPlay the students can see what I’m writing while I walk around the classroom. However, in some occasions there is no WiFi where we want to do this.Īs a teacher this has happened to me when I wanted to mirror my iPad wirelessly to my computer connected to the digital whiteboard of the classroom. If smartphones and tablets are involved these apps need the existence of a WiFi network in order to be fully operative or to use some of its features. AIRSERVER LAG TV
For example just some of them would be: apps that send video from a tablet to a tv or a computer, apps that allow you to control the mouse of a computer using your tablet or smartphone, programs that send files to your tablet or smartphone or any program that sends a document to a wireless printer. There are lots of programs and apps that have been designed to do something while connecting wirelessly two or more devices.
