Stay away from microwave ovens
If you want optimal quality when playing your content, from your cell phone to your TV, we suggest you stay away from some electronic devices; such as ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, minibars, and cordless phones. These could generate interference as long as they are within the same perimeter. If this is not the case, don’t worry.
Desactive el Bluetooth
If you actually want to use ‘Wireless Display’ from your cell phone , we recommend that you disable Bluetooth. . In this way, it will not block the connection between the device and the TV, in addition to not quickly draining the battery of your cell phone.
If you use WiFi Direct, do not be more than 5 meters from the Router
When you start streaming content over a Wi-Fi connection, it’s important to consider the correct distance between the Router and your cell phone.
