does this work with WiDi sender? i.e. Would it work without dongle if i have a WiDi laptop?

I would say that the answer is no. The Nyrius transmitter and receiver are designed to work with each other. If you have built-in WiDi, you do not need any dongle. But . . .you will still need to purchase a receiver that works with WiDi. Here is a link that will give you some basic information. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2044749/its-a-widi-shootout-actiontecs-screenbeam-pro-vs-netgears-push2tv.html The Nyrius can be a little fickle during the setup but once I got it dialed in, I was (and am) extremely satisfied with its function and display. Based on current technology, I think the Nyrius setup (and dongle) is the way to go.

It only works if your laptop has Widi (Intel Wireless Display). Many laptops do not have WiDI. It does not work w/ a Roku or a blueray player. Ours is still sitting in the box from a year ago.

Yes, for what ever reason secondary market Bluetooth Dongles don't want to work with Toshiba products. I broke down and purchased this same unit for my Toshiba Satellite and it has worked great for all hardware and wireless transfers.

You'll need a Bluetooth dongle if your PC or laptop � has no build in Bluetooth. The rest is plug and play!

strekker: Yes, it does have WIDI, as I said above. I think I had to download some software from Intel to make WIDI work. Even now I have an Intel WIDI Remote software installed and it looks for Devices (PTV3000 was found before) but, of course, it can't find that PTV3000 anymore because I had the PTV3000 hardware returned after a brief success.

It doesn't have built in Bluetooth, you'll need to purchase a separate dongle for this.

Don't know, since i'm running on win7. As long as your laptop supports WIDI, it should work.

No dongle needed. That's a reason I got this one. My desk is so small having to have something sticking out from my computer was a problem.

Dear friend I did some research and found the driver file for your Dongle, its a .RAR file will open with a Zip utility please follow this link to get this file its the only one there. Let me know you received the file be sure to back up the file and save it for future use. I did run this first to see if it works with this dongle since I own the same thing. Please email jcrowder0027@gmail.com telling me you received the software. Also make sure the dongle is not plugged in when installing the software I hope this helps you.

I know it works with usb but I have not gotten it to work wireless without wireless router.

My remote did NOT come with a dongle. I relied on the responses found here. Not sure why others got a dongle. I did not.

This is an IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN (WiFi) networking adapter.This is not a "dongle" for different keyboard, mouse or other solutions, if that is what you are looking for.

Can't really answer your question because the dongle I received from the seller didn't work at all... I found it to be to much trouble to try and return the item...

My question as well. I would be all over this one even without Bluetooth or the backlit keyboard if there were more reviews. Now there is a second review but it's for the guy's client, and contributes nothing. I want to hear feedback about the wifi card's connectivity issues, if any.

Common problem. I solved the "USELESS MOUSE" by attaching the wifi dongle to to the extention cord it came with and made sure it was visible. There are other 2.4ghz controls that maybe interfering too. Make sure no other wireless apparatus is being used around it. this does not have a bluetooth capability. This is the downside.

No it works with any computer that has WiFi capability. But it can also be used through USB

Yes this dongle works with Windows 8.1 which is what I'm using right now. You shouldn't install any software, just plug-and-play (i.e. I had issues installing the software but after calling their customer service they told me installing it is NOT good for Windows 8.1 and you have to just plug it in and use it)
