I would like to bring my Hisense HD-TV into my WiFi network; can I merely connect this to TV's USB port &amp; stream video from a computer?

Easy to install, comes with cd and drivers, better to place on the back of the computer, since on the front it can be knocked off. Great product. And it works really well, a control panel shows on desktop allowing you the choices of what network to use. Yes, buy it.

Dear Wayne, Thank you for your question regarding our Micro HDMI to HDMI cable. The Hisense tablet does have a micro HDMI port so the cable would be fully compatible. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Look for the USB port on the side of your TV and plug into it. This help you connect your TV to your WiFi network and get Internet-based programs such as YouTube.

No wireless stick is included. I'm not sure how you can set up a stick to stream from your computer or another source(Netflix, Hulu), but honestly, why bother? These days, streaming sticks are so cheap... Plug one directly into another HDMI port. To me, imho, this device is made to do one thing- take media stores on either a SD card, USB flash drive, or ISB external hard drive, control that data via menu, convert it to the proper format, and display it on any screen with an HDMI port.

A lot of programs offer DLNA streaming control, Windows Media Player is one of them. I never set up the DLNA streaming myself but it should be automatically recognized by your computer, but following these instructions should get you there. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2360448/how-to-stream-media-from-your-pc-to-your-hdtv-over-wifi.html

No, you cannot hook it up to your TV with just wireless. You still need the HDMI cable. The wi-fi is for netflix and other offered services.

Make sure you have it plugged into the HDMI port on your TV. It will not work with a USB port.

yes Scott. Hook it up through HDMI cable, Lan Cable or via wireless network.

You will need wifi and one of those stick gizmos for the hdmi input to 'hear' your videos etc.

This is not equipped with a digital receiver to join a wireless network. Run an HDMI cable from your video card to the television. Then stream netflix on your computer, drag and drop the video screen onto you're television monitor.

Yes, but you have to buy Samsung's expensive USB wireless adapter, it will not recognize a regular USB wireless adapter, otherwise it works fine and I have it networked to all of my other and Newer smart TVs. TV is limited with AllShare, most of my computer folders that I share on the network exceed the specs. Therefore, I use my Netgear Centria and Windows to access shared media from that TV. Picture is awesome, best one in the house for viewing.

ASUS sells a device called Miracast Dongle which plugs into your TV's HDMI port. You can then stream from your tablet to your TV.

The only way you will be able to utilize the AV500 is in a hardwired manner. It does not rebroadcast WiFi signals. You would need a repeater for that purpose, providing the smart TV has Internal WiFi, which some do. Most have an Ethernet plug to attach your signal. The AV500 extends wired signals through your AC lines in the house. Kind of like stringing a really long CAT5/6 Ethernet cable through your house between your router to your TV. If you want to extend the range of your WiFi, use a TP-Link TL-WA854RE Range Extender (repeater) or one of it's brethren. There are several models depending on the data rate (speed) you desire. Funny, I just got one in the mail today. No kidding. So, no. It will not extend your WiFi. If I may make a suggestion, take a look at NewEggFlash today at a product called an Edimax CV-7438nDM Wireless Bridge Adaptor. It's an inexpensive little toy that you might find useful in the near future. Get one quick; it's only $20 w/free shipping. I ordered one today too. Recommendation: Plug your AV500's directly into the outlets and away from other things. They are allergic to power strips and they tend to get pretty warm from dealing with the AC electricity, ok. If for some reason they don't work, try a different outlet. They prefer being on the same wired circuit. I hope I helped.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.

I'm really not sure. On the description for the wifi dongle your model isn't listed and everywhere I looked it said your TV should have come with a wifi dongle. Worse case scenario buy it and return it I suppose. I can't find anything about the particular wifi dongle for your TV though.

Hi Lez, I don't have access to a Hisense TV, but this controller works very well with a tablet and an android tv box y have, so I suppose that if you tv is an android one with BLUETOOTH capabilities, it will do the work. Good luck.

You can connect your laptop via hdmi or other cable. I do not think it can be done wirelessly.
