Areyou aware of the Wifi Direct function of Microsoft Windows 10 on your personal computer? Or have you ever use it personally for your business? If you are familiar with Bluetooth, it is easy for you to understand more about the Wifi Direct feature that is in there on your Windows 10 PC. Bluetooth is a competitor of wifi direct. Both Bluetooth and Wifi directly have the device-to-device connectivity feature for file transfers and a close range of communications. The difference is wifi direct is not only for file transfers. It can do more than Bluetooth can do. The Wifi Direct feature supports your Windows 10, so if you want to maximize your benefits in it, you have to keep reading this article. And learn how to use it.

It works by enabling a software-generated access point from the device host, which creates a temporary network of wifi that is in the process. Then there is a WPS (wifi protected setup) with the pin code, which uses authentication.


There is no need for any routers or internet connection to share files and sharing screens. Data transfers are immediate as Wifi Direct is a new technology that evolves. All you need are your devices to connect. And set up the settings required


Be reminded that Wifi direct is somewhat similar to Bluetooth technology, which ables to transfer files and synchronize data. But for wifi direct, it includes sending and receiving data, screen sharing, wireless printing, and even playing as multiplayer on all devices connected to the network.


Even the connection is wireless, and no internet connection is needed, transferring speed of wifi direct is up to 250Mbps, unlike Bluetooth technology with only 25Mbps. And when in terms of the distance, compared to Bluetooth 4.0, which has 200 feet only, wifi direct has a theoretical distance of 656 feet.


Since there is a need for a passcode or PIN to connect, it is an additional security attribute of the wifi direct. It is because wifi direct is protected by WPA2 security certifications and protocols.


If you are decided to use wifi direct instead of Bluetooth, then your Windows 10 PC or laptop is supported. But take note that Wifi Direct has standards in which your Wifi internal chip or external chip will have to support it as windows 10 has full support.


Hi, need help with my adapter, apparantly it is not compatible with wifi direct Windows 10 IoT Core, that means it does not activate the 'Microsoft WiFi Direct Virtual Adapter' in the device manager. Mobile hotspot does not work, Im trying to make a mini pc into a virtual router. Can anybody help with this?


Thank you for your reply, yes I have tried the latest driver, it does work with Win10 but as you stated it is a 2012 model it does not support 'Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter' which should show up in the Device Manager under Network adapters, it all it needs to be able to setup a Mobile Hotspot within Windows.


Tried to install 'Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter' but still does not show up in the Device Manager till I found a post explaining what Microsoft Wifi Direct is, basically it is only a handfull of USB wifi dongles which are compatible to be able to setup a Mobile Hotspot.


i see a Wifi direct virtual adapter listed. i followed the instructions i found online, and updated the drivers for the card, updated the version of intel pro set wireless and install intel wifi dashboard.


please advise. when i open network and sharing centre and go to change adapter settings there is no local area connection displayed referencing the wifi direct apapter. but ipconfig says there is one there.

Hi,

I used to connect my laptop using Windows and a Microsoft Wifi-Direct adapter.

That means that I can duplicate my laptopscreen directly to the TV using a wifi-direct adapter connected to the HDMI-port on my TV.

In Zorin I am not able to find this possibility. Do I overlook something or doesn't Zorin support this possibility?


I gave a try.

After installing the software indeed found my MSDisplayAdapter_59.

But, unfortunately it keeps on trying to connect.

In that stage the welcome screen of the Microsoft adapter changes and is also trying to connect. But the two did not connect.

And the patch you mentioned, I don't know about that.

How should that be implemented?


Note Just as an aside, you can access peer-to-peer Wi-Fi without using Multipeer Connectivity. The underlying technology is Bonjour + TCP/IP, and you can access that directly from your app. The WiTap sample code shows how.


How does it do this when the two devices need not be on the same network? This is the problem we're trying to solve: there's no infrastructure Wi-Fi network. Our peripheral can host a network, but we'd like to avoid making the user leave our app to go to Settings to connect to our peripheral.


Note the only requirement is that they each must be new enough to have a Lightning connector. Peer-to-peer Wi-Fi support is not tied to the Lightning connector, it's just a helpful coincidence that the hardware that supports peer-to-peer Wi-Fi also happens to have a Lightning connector and thus it's an easy way to identify that support.

Ah, this is the first mention of non-Apple hardware in this thread. The situation with non-Apple hardware is more challenging because the peer-to-peer networking protocols (both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) are not documented for third-party use.


In a typical home accessory setup you want the accessory to join the same infrastructure Wi-Fi as all the other devices in the home. Apple explicitly supports this via the Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC) mechanism. This lets an iOS device pass its Wi-Fi configuration to the accessory so that the accessory can join the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device is currently on.


I tried to use wi-fi direct with Wi-Tap as you outlined in your previous message but have discovered a problem with it. After about 1 minute of no tapping on either device, taps are no longer being received. If you keep tapping every second or so there is no problem and the data continues to be sent and received, however once you stop this repeated tapping the problem occurs after about 5 seconds.


We see the exact same issue with our own peer to peer product after we updated it to use wi-fi direct. After about 45 seconds of no activity (ie no transmission of any data from either device), data is no longer being received. If we send a "keep-alive" packet every second it works continously. If we change the keep-alive delay to 5 seconds it fails. There are no errors returned from the NSStream write method or via the NSStream handleEvent: callback in either Wi-Tap or our app.


In my case, I'm developping a device that I would like to connect to very easily without any infrastructure. At the beggining I though of Bluetooth but the speed of the connection isn't high enough. So I though of Wifi Direct (P2P). With Android it's possible but I would like to control my device also with iOS !


we are in the same boat: non apple hardware box under linux wants to talk to iOS over a peer to peer wifi link similar to how WiTap is doing it, without using inftrastructure wifi or converting either the box or the iOS device into a hotspot. bluetooth is not available in our box. is it possible these days (early 2017)?


Thanks for the explanation. Can you point me to a document that gives the API on how to stream video from a MFI certified non-Apple device to an iOS device? None of the BT profiles listed in section 2.2 of to support video streaming or anything close to the 24Mbps classic BT max data rate (is there a special profile to get higher data rate)?


Thanks, also can you comment on the HomeKit accessory type not mentioning a video camera accessory type. Per WWDC 2016 talk it appears that getting a video stream from HomeKit accessory is supported. Any sample code or pointer to details on how it is done will be useful. Will also file the ticket on MFI.


Hi Quinn, one more question. Suppose the accessory and iOS device are connected to the same WiFi AP. Suppose iOS device has local IP address IP1 and is listening on port P1. If the accessory opens a TCP connection to IP1/P1 (with the iOS app running) and WiFi AP allows packet to get routed, is there something in the iOS system that will prevent this TCP connection from being established?

Very helpful FAQ, but isn't there a missing option under peer-to-peer? As I understand it, a third party device that is broadcasting a Bonjour WiFi service will be discoverable by an iOS app via the "NSNetServiceBrowser" class.


First of all on iPad(server) they create special access code and then "teacher" share this code with "students" iPads and students fill the code in their APPLICATION (not in the iPad settings) and after that students iPads !automatically! connects to the server iPad, without any wifi settings et c


[While this is orthogonal to your actual issue, I want to reiterate a point from my first response on this thread: The peer-to-peer Wi-Fi networking supported by Apple platforms is not Wi-Fi Direct.]
