Non WiFI Enabled PC - Need Adapter that supports MiraCast

Anonymous

I have a non-wifi enabled Windows 10 PC and I bought the following adapter to make it WiFi enabled: 

realtek pcie gbe family controller

I have an LG Wireless adapted TV that I want to mirror my screen onto

Unfortunately, I have done WIN + R dxdiag and found that the drivers for the wifi adapter (which have been updated) do not support miracast.

The graphics card of my PC does support miracast.

What wireless pc adapter can I get? The ones I see are to plug into the TV; however, I need an adapter that will plug into the PC and wifi enable it well enough to support miracast.

Thanks for your advice.

    Hi KatNixCat

    having looked in the past for a wifi adapter for my desktop, i could not find one that i was confident would support miracast it just does not seem to be clear on the device specs.

    the adapter needs to be a Wi-Fi Direct CERTIFIED Miracast device.

    i did however find a work around that meant i did not even need my desktop to be wireless. (wired connection PC to router, wireless connection router to tv)

    most smart TVs that support miracast also support chromecast, by running either chrome or the insider preview of edge (minimised) i can cast my desktop to my television.

    in chrome, click the three dots in the top right corner and select cast

    it should find available devices, click sources and select desktop then click on the device (tv).
