Can't get audio via WIDI - picture works fine. Everything works perfectly on my Netgear NTV200S - streaming video and audio from its many channels AND the video from my computer onto my HDTV via WIDI. But only about 1 tries out of 10 do I also get audio from my computer on the TV - or anywhere, would settle with audio from my computer and video on the TV, but no go. Netgear support has been no help, even suggested that the device was not compatible with WIFI! (I think they were thinking of the predecessor device). Anyone have any luck consistently getting the audio to come through along with video on a TV using WIDi? Thanks Can't get audio via WIDI - picture works fine.

not sure why it happens, but when the laptop connects to the NeoTV in the first successful connect.. audio is not there. If you do a disconnect of the WiDi connection from the WiDi control app on the laptop and then do a connect again through the WiDi control app audio gets transmitted to the TV

I cant say this is a fix for sure, but try updating the WIDI drivers on your computer. My audio did not work until I updated to the latest Intel WIDI drivers and software.

The Netgear NTV200S for me: is working very, very, very, good on my HDTV perfect. no problem; all the APP from the WiDi is working good perfect all app. I dont

Mine is sitting in the junk room. Most of the time the audio came through just fine for me. My issues was that sometimes the audio was so far out of sync it wasn't even watchable. It's a great concept, but a total POS in reality. Like Clayton said, try updating the drivers and see if that helps. I gave up on mine though. A 15' HDMI cable is cheaper and way more reliable.

For me it was a bust - they did not give software and what they told me to download did not stream from my laptop to the wifi Tv - a complete waste

I connected this product to the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 and have no problem streaming HD movies via Roku. However, as you probably know, your ability to stream video smoothly is not just a matter of signal strength but also your download speed which has to do mostly with your internet provider. The key is that you have to place this unit where you get at least a 70 percent signal strength from your Netgear router. This product will then amplify and extend your Wi-Fi signal range. You can also download the Android app (assuming you have an Android device) from Amped Wireless site and measure the signal strength you with your Netgear router and Amped Wireless range extender.

Return the TV, it has very limited features/flexibility. I don't know about WIDI but I'm guessing it will not work on this TV based on my frustrations.

This device does not have build-in app but you if you have an GP or AC app on your mobile/tablet, it should be able to play to this via WiFi connection. I have this and the Sony wireless speakers. I find myself using the Sony speakers 95% of the time since it works with both iOS and Android plus build-in app like slacker, Pandora, etc., and support multi-speakers mode if you have more than one, like a "party mode".

I think I had the same problem. Check that you have the tv on AV 1 or 2 depending on where you are plugged in. My best suggestion is to call Toshibia customer service (# in the instruction guide). I called 3 times and they literally walked me through what cable goes where and stayed on the phone while I hooked everything up and tested it. They were great.My only issue now is that after I got eveything hooked up with audio/video cables, I tried HDMI cables and I couldn't figure it out. I got it to work, but didn't see much of a difference. Since I know there is supposed to be a huge difference, I guess I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions welcome.

I use a widi connection, you only need a device if your TV is not widi compatible. I believe I have a dlink widi device for my TV

Well since you're a Netgear employee, why does my adaptor work flawlessly with my computer and won't even let my ps3 or xbox connect to the internet? A little off-subject but your time is appreciated.

Has anyone tried hooking up a laptop? I tried it hooked up to the PC input on my Bravia TV and get NO (ok, very little) volume. It's been suggested that a setting on my laptop needs to be changed. I need to watch streaming video for work. Anyone have ideas?

Unfortunately, over AirPlay, there's only audio. However, apps such as YouTube have the ability to stream video and audio to the receiver over a wifi network.

Thanks for the link. Interesting. I'm just going to have to get the WET and test it. I find it intriguing that when in DHCP mode the devices plugged into it were assigned the same IP. That would point towards the WET doing NAT. If you just want to give your media center devices connectivity (so that they can access your network and the internet) that won't matter. But if you want to contact your media center devices from elsewhere on the network it could be a problem.But everything's so ambiguous in the stuff I've seen online I think the only way to know for sure is to buy it and try it out.

Any answers on this, by chance? If wifi doesn't work, then I'll just have to stick to my USB hub, external speakers, power and VGA cables! So much for easy portability : 0

If you found something that did work, could you please tell me what it was? I'm looking for the same thing. I want to connect a Wii (RCA) to my monitor (VGA) since I don't have a TV. I already have the audio thing worked out, but I need a configuration that works for video. Thank you!!

I have used it with the geforce nvidia 9600gt and the sound does not come out because of the graphic card. It is not tha wireless responsible, it will not come out even if I connect the pc directly through hdmi with the TV. If your graphic card supports sound through HDMI then it will play with the kit. As I have used it is I use the pc speakers for sound and the HDMI wireless kit four video (which works seemlessly).I hope that helps you.

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

Dear Mediabridge,You are right. I am having trouble getting audio through TV when I connect HDMI to my HP PC with Window7 and 37LG10 TV. I changes audio playback device setting to TV/HDMI default. On testing HDMI audio, it says this device is already in use. Could you please help me to get Audio. Thank you.Regards,BK

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Thanks Albert and A. Macharia. I'm a gal BTW... : ) I was able to use my HDTV as a monitor, but nothing more really. I bought the cable that you mentioned (A.) and I could watch Netflix, but the audio was still coming out of my laptop which wasn't fun. I ended up returning the cable to the Apple store and bought an Apple TV, but now downloading anything on that thing takes forever. Grrrrr...... Maybe it's time to bump up my wireless connection. IDK...
