Was looking for a way to wirelessly connect users to the training room projector without breaking the bank, and this does exactly that. I have it plugged into the LAN so any PC that has downloaded the software can connect to it. Alternately, users can connect to the WIFI2HDVGA's own built in wifi access point. Either way seems to work very well. It's also supposedly WiDi compatible but haven't tried that yet so can't comment. Software isn't the greatest. It took me a few minutes to work out Conference mode but quite straightforward and obvious once you know how. Also, when you want to customise things away from the default that things get a bit shaky. As a "for instance", I wanted to change its default SSID name to Projector, found out where (I thought) to do it, changed its name, pressed the appropriate buttons and... nothing! Currently, I can't find its in built WiFi but I'll reset it to factory defaults (when I find out how) and am sure all will be fine again. It's because the software isn't as slick as it could be and perhaps needs improving.that I'll give it 4 stars rather than 5 stars, although it probably deserves 5 stars as it does all I want it to and is easy to setup and use. As I type this, users are connected to it wirelessly over the LAN quite happily. Currently, very pleased and feel it's a good, reasonably priced solution for wireless connection to a Projector/large HDMI screen.

Works with windows and apple notebooks, is there any solution for ipads connecting to the device via WiFi ?

This little box has a lot of great features for the price however there are a few set backs. -It would be nice if there was a better way for deploying the nScreenShare software. For example an msi package that can deployed through Active Directory or a web portal on the hub for retrieving the client. -For the wired connection it would be better if you could manually enter the IP or hostname information of the hub. When nScreenShare scans for the hub I get an error it couldn't find it and then when I acknowledge the error it finds the hub. The auto discover feature seems kind of buggy and I'd rather just manually enter the information. The auto discover also does not seem to work across VLANs.

Works fine for powerpoints or other static images, but it not helpful in the modern classroom setting anymore.

Software download page does not work. gives 404 error Also, manual says one website and website has other option

I tried setting up the device right out of the box per instructions, but the device keeps asking for a password to connect to the built in wifi. There is no password documented in the userguide. I even hit the reset button with no luck.
