Wireless connections
If you want to project wirelessly, you must first install the BenQ WDRT8192 USB wireless
dongle onto your projector. This USB wireless dongle is not shipped with your projector
and is sold separately. Do not install any other type of wireless dongle or module.
With the USB wireless dongle, your projector will be able to operate as a wireless LAN
access point (AP), allowing you to connect your computer or mobile device directly to this
ad hoc network. Furthermore, with the USB dongle installed, the projector can also
connect to your organization’s wireless network so that you can access the Internet while
projecting and making a presentation. See
Internet with a wireless connection" on page 40
for details on accessing the Internet via a
wireless connection.

1.

•
Never insert the dongle into the projector while the projector is powered on, as the network
connection may not be made properly.
•
If you intend to re-insert the dongle during operation, power off the projector first.
The wireless dongle should only be installed into the
WIRELESS DONGLE
port. Installing the
dongle into the
USB TYPE-A
port on the projector will prevent the wireless dongle from
functioning.
