Introduction
The WIFI2VGA WiFi to VGA Wireless Video Extender with Audio lets you send a VGA
signal with supporting audio wirelessly from your laptop or desktop computer to a
remote VGA projector or display up to 180 feet (55 meters) away, at resolutions up
to 1440x900.
This VGA over WiFi adapter connects using a single, compact device situated by
your remote display; unlike many other wireless VGA solutions that require devices
at both ends of the connection - saving the hassle of carrying a secondary device
and giving you the freedom to install the included software on many computers as
needed.

networks, the wireless VGA extender oers data rates up to 150 Mbps for optimum
video and audio quality, and also features an integrated USB port for keyboard/
mouse connection.

Wireless Network Conguration
The video extender can operate in two wireless modes: Wireless Access Point
mode (AP) or Client Mode (STA).
• AP Mode (default): The video extender will act as a wireless access point (i.e.
wireless router) for other wireless enabled computers. This mode is useful if
there is no existing wireless network where the video extender will be used, or
you do not wish to have the video extender on your main network.
• Client Mode: The video extender will act as a regular wireless client and connect
to an existing wireless network. This mode is useful if there is an existing wireless
access point (i.e. wireless router) already setup or if the computers need Internet
access at the same time. NOTE: The wireless AP must have DHCP enabled.
To set the video extender into Client mode:
1. By default, the wireless video extender will
be set to AP Mode. Check your computer’s
wireless network settings for the network
called “PC2TVwi”.
2. Connect to the PC2TVwi network. No
encryption/security should be enabled yet.
3. Once connected, run the PC2TV program from the desktop icon.
4. Open the “Setting”menu and then click on the Conguration button.
Instruction Manual 6
5. From the Conguration window, click on the “STA Mode”tab then click the
“Enable” option. Enter the required information for connecting to your existing
wireless network (i.e. SSID, encryption type and network key). Click the SAVE
button once complete.
NOTE: Client/STA mode does not support static IP addresses. The wireless AP must
have DHCP enabled.
6. OPTIONAL: If connecting multiple wireless video adapters to this network, be
sure to set a unique Device Name for each one for easy identication under the
“Device” tab.
7. Restart the wireless video adapter by unplugging and reconnecting the power.
Instruction Manual 7
How to Use

desktop to the remote display.
