To be honest not sure about miracast? But I have a Samsung dongle which I plug into my smart tv and it connects to my phone, router and any android device. Using myshare I can play off the phone to tv. So what's the difference in the miracast?

@zero is that a "allshare" dongle? If it is it need a Smart TV to connect, the Miracast will work with ANY TV that has a HDMI socket.

Yes thanks your quite correct I meant Allshare! Thanks

And indeed I use it with a Samsung smart tv and also a Samsung phone and laptop LOL.

That Miracast dongle sounds interesting.

Well I've just pushed the button on a Measy A2W Miracast Dongle (less than £14 delivered), so when it arrives I'll let you know how I get on with it.

One thing worth mentioning is that I checked the Google Play Store for the companion App software (EZCast) and whilst it was not without problems the App authors answered most of the posts and it appears they are updating the App regularly, a good sign I think.

So I'll be able to use this when I'm away and also use it at home from my laptop to my TV and get rid of the HDMI cable that runs from my laptop to my TV at the moment.

For internet only when on holiday we use a MiFi. Ours was supposed to be unlocked but wouldn't connect to one network, so I had to go and buy a 7 day sim card pass from the 3 network. They even gave me a further 7 day free sim so 14days internet for 99Skr (around 9 Gbp). This was Sweden by the way.
