Internally (software-side) your Kindle/Phone/Tablet/PC (device) has multiple "ports" for the single wireless antenna. When you connect to an AP, your device will use a "port" to route internet IP traffic. When you connect to a Miracast receiver like this, your wireless card will exchange some packets and setup a Wi-Fi Direct connection on a different "port". Both the Wi-Fi Direct and AP connections may be active simultaneously. Ideally, they should come up on the same wireless channel, otherwise your wireless NIC (card) will be constantly switching channels and the connection will not be reliable.

Not sure what you mean by one wireless connection as i Imagine most devices only have one connection, at least at a time. Hopefully you have latest Netgear..you may need to update Netgear firmware. to display, connect miracast as directed, go to device settings on HDX and then look for display option. You should find Netgear device and connect. I have both devices and connect without issue. good luck and merry xmas.

My push2tv claimed to have firmware 2.4.3 out of the box. My HDX saw the device, but connecting timed out. I had to "upgrade" the firmware to 2.4.19 for it to work. I haven't tried 2.4.26 (the latest available on the Netgear web site, which makes the 2.4.3 claim suspicious).

Your Kindle and the Push2TV will form it's own wireless connection between them. Great product once it's updated!

I think these only work on an wireless infrared network, you would need wired headphones for the kindle or buy and set of wireless headphones with a transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack.

Well this product is not a router. This is a wireless adapter. The Kindle Fire already has built-in wifi.

Yes. Very easy to do. Connect to TV HDMI. Next make sure Kindle is OFF. Connect to Kindle. Turn Kindle ON. On your TV go to SOURCE. Click on Source you connected to. You will now be able to view everything from your Kindle.

I need to know this too. My family bought me a Kindle but it's the model that requires an external wireless router and I don't have one. I have an old Dell computer and an Earthlink DSL modem, plus a Vonage connection. I can't decide if I should return the Kindle and get the more expensive one, or try to find a good router.

I don't have a Fire HD6 but I've been using a Kindle reader for years and it connects to the internet through my Linksys WRT 150N WiFi. I looked at the specs for the Fire HD6 and found that it lists WiFi capability.

Hi. If I understand you question correct it will not help you to connect your kindle had to wifi. For this you will need a wireless router from Netgear or Linksys. This little USB bug will then connect your computer to your wireless network. Your kindle will connect to your wireless network without this devise. Hope this helps.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

Microsoft has a usb direct line to connect to a HDMI TV.But may I suggest something a little easier if you have Wi-Fi. Try Amazon FIRE. You can connect directly to your HDTV with this device and watch Amazon PRIME Movies. It comes linked to YOUR ACCOUNT so there's no searching for your favorite shows. It also shows Netflix, HULU plus and many more channels. It comes with its own remote making it easier to search and control the content you watch.And no...this is not a commercial.....I am actually a CHROMECAST user myself and love it but I am not sure is compatible with Microsoft.

Hello. I don't have a Kindle fire but try going under your Settings to your bluetooth setting. Make sure you have the jam plus on by holding the power button down until you hear a sound. Turn on bluetooth setting on kindle and search for Jam Plus then connect to it. I hope this helps....goodluck!

Turn off your wifi you have at home. Or do the "forget this network option". Then connect to the sandisk wifi and do whatever transfer you need to do then connect back to your normal wifi. Im thinking that would work. I dont own a kindle but i figure all devices should work the same. Ive used this on all my ios and android electronics. Sorry if im no help. Good luck!

There is no HDMI port on this tablet. However you can try to stream/mirror via WiFi. Google miracast or chromecast.

I have the Kindle Fire 8.9 and have to use the netgear Push2TV to mirror it and it works great. I have used this for my laptop to connect to my TV and it also works fantastic and is fast with no lagtime between movement. What I did find out, is I need a new router for my wireless network though :(

First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it. If it opens up and it is trying to search for the wi-drive the app should be working just fine. Also u need to download the files via the USB cord that comes with it from you're computer to the drive. Then you can see pictures or documents on your kindle. And from what I've noticed since I own it there's a separate name for it under the wifi setting so you have to switch from the wifi for you internet to the one for the drive in order to see what's on the drive. The plus is that It can be password protected so not just anyway can see what's on it. First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it.

I am using the stock software that came with it. The Kindle app was preloaded, but for some reason I cannot log in. When I try, it says 'Please check wifi connection' even though I can browse the internet just fine. It's frustrating b/c I can't log in to read any of my books.

If you have a wireless router, pretty much any company sells a companion to it for problems just like yours. You can get either an ethernet one or a USB one. I don't know if Amazon allows links, but if you have a wireless router, this is something similar to what you would need to get:http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=383There are cheaper ones out there, but this is close to what you would need to get since there is only an ethernet connection on the player, no USB. I hope this helps!
