hmscott the intel widi tool says "WiDi is ready to use".
However not even with the beta Nvidia and Intel Graphics drivers, the problem is the same.
If anyone tries to install the beta drivers create a restore point before. I had a few blue screens after installing the Nvidia beta driver.

buggyro, what were you doing when you got the Blue screens? So far no one has reported crashes with 340.43 except under gaming load. I am haven't had any Blue screens, but I don't currently have all the options installed, just these:



Did you follow the directions in the FAQ?

Did anything change in the behavior? Same as you reported in your first post?

There could be incompatibilities. My TV isn't compatible.

Did you see Asus has a Miracast dongle for sale?

You might try again with another TV, perhaps a Brick and Mortar showroom where you can try a few different TV's.

What instructions or documentation are you following to connect / test?

Does the TV/remote device show anything going on? Is the G750 seen from that end trying to connect?

The blue screen appeared at shutdown with a message regarding "power state" after installing the nvidia beta driver. That was all i could read before the auto restart.

I followed a lot of FAQ's including the one you suggested.

I don't think the problem is with the TV or PTV3000 as both work with other Miracast and WiDi devices. In fact the G750 is the only device that doesn't work. Thy both have latest firmwares installed. I think the problem is a driver (wireless adapter or graphics card) or win 8.1 itself.

Both the TV and the device show Connecting to laptop, but after about 20 sec they say Connection Unsuccessful. This behavior happens with any combination of drivers. I've also tried to disable firewall, antivirus, without success.

Does anybody know what Broadcom AC WiFi card the G750JM has? I've been trying to find other drivers for this card without any success.

I was also wondering does Miracast work for others with 2014 G750's?

buggyro, are you connected to the internet through the G750 Wifi? How about the TV?

WiDi and WiFi Simultaneously
https://communities.intel.com/thread/38534

"My problem is that when I have connected to my TV using WiDi it stops my WiFi connection making it impossible to stream from the Internet or Media Server. "

Perhaps turn off the internet router, disabling that wifi connection, and then try to connect the G750 / TV / device with Miracast.

If that works, try using Ethernet for the Internet connection, or if you need to use Wifi internet, use this example from the thread link above to get both wireless connections working properly.

Problem:

It seem Windows try to access Internet via TV WiDi Wireless connection and ignores the wireless router.

Solution:

You need to configure automatic metric System.

1. In Network and sharing page - Click on Change Adapter Setting (Right Top)

2. Right Click on wireless Network Connection 2 (Your Original Wireless Router) -> Properties

3. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

4. Select Properties

5. In General tab -> Advanced

6. Uncheck Automatic Metric and Give a Low number (say 5) and Click OK

7. Now Click on wireless Network Connection 3 (Widi Wireless) -> Properties

8. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

9. Select Properties

10. In General tab -> Advanced

11. Uncheck Automatic Metric and Give a High number (say 50)

Let us know if you get it working, and how you did it 🙂


I haven't seen any reports of the G750 supporting Miracast, and the G750xx specifications only mention WiDi "Integrated 802.11ac or 802.11 a/b/g/n (WiDi)" under Specifications => Networking :

And, Widi stuff doesn't mention Miracast...
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html

It looks like there are some compliant devices for both Widi and Miracast, but they explicitly mention it, and the G750 specs don't mention Miracast, only Widi

Maybe that is why Asus came out with the Micracast Dongle?

"Intel Wireless Display 3.5 makes WiDi Miracast-compatible, essentially turning WiDi into another branded Miracast-compatible standard. Intel has basically folded WiDi into Miracast."

In Win 8.1 Intel's WiDi does not work anymore, because Miracast is built-in in Windows. Intel has disabled WIDI in win 8.1.
Requirements for Miracast in Win 8.1 are:
- wireless adapter with NDIS 6.3 driver (virtual WIFI and WIFI Direct needed). You can see that by running Get-NetAdapter | Select Name, NdisVersion in powershell. Broadcom AC is NDIS 6.40
- graphics adapter wth WDDM 1.3 driver (win 8.1 only driver). Both Nvidia and Intel have WDDM 1.3 drivers, but i think Nvidia doesn't have yet full suport for Miracast.

The "add a wireless display" options in the Project Charm should appear only when all the above conditions are met. On a older laptop with older NDIS version of the wifi card the option never shows up.

I think the only solution for now is to wait.

I am tempted to try to install win 7 on the system only to check if widi works 🙂

PS: The dongle you mention is for the TV, in case your TV does not know Miracast or WIDI. Mine knows both, and i tested it with both with other devices and works well. The other device i have Netgear PTV3000 i use on a TV which does not have WIDI or Miracast and again works well with other devices.

buggyro, thanks for the clear description of the state of the problem... but it isn't clear why when all is in compliance that it still isn't working/connecting.

Did you try disabling Wifi Internet and only use Wifi for the Widi/Miracast?

Good news on the dongle, for me anyway, I can enable my TCL 50" TV 🙂

The problem with Windows 7 might be finding a working Windows 7 driver for that wifi card in the G750... there are no Windows 7 drivers supporting G750's from Asus - maybe someone that has found a Windows 7 driver for that Broadcom card will respond here with a link.

You might document this in a Technical Inquiry for Asus to respond to, and ask if / when Widi/MIcracast will work on G750 Windows 8.1.

And, it looks like responding into the forums.geforce.com site is another place to look for support:
