widi support on my asus

[Luke1708]

Hello guys, i just got an asus k53E. It has the following specs:

Intel Core i3 2310m
4gb ddr3 Ram
intel hd3000
atheros bluetooth
atheros wireless n
windows 7 home premium 64 bit

i've also bought 3 widi adapters for it.` 2 netgear ptv1000 and 1 belkin screen cast. however i just notice that every specs are widi supported except for my intel wireless card. I have targeted a few on ebay:

NEW Genunie Intel Centrino Advanced-N WiMAX 6250 wifi 622ANXHMW for BenQ toshiba | eBay


from the link below, i see there a quite a few which i can purchase.
Intel Wireless Display not compatible - help anyone?

So i buy this card and i should normally have intel wireless display? This is unknown territory for me. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks in advance.

I got as far as installing and running the software on a system which doesn't officially support WiDi, but no further: Wireless Display

so it doesn't stream? What was your hardware config most specifically wifi card.

Edit1:Just followed your link and currently reading it.

Edit2: So do you think it should work? Which one do i buy from intel's official webite? I mean the list of supported wifi cards.

After a bit of going through Google search results, I couldn't find anything too specific about requirements for the wireless cards.


For 1080p video support, I only found the following snippet:

Requires use of a 2011 Generation 2 TV adapter, a notebook based on an Intel® 6 series chipset, and Intel® HD Graphics Driver version 15.22.xx or later.

and the following for Intel wireless cards:

Intel Centrino® processor technology (supported on 13.3 Production driver or later)
- Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200
- Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000

Intel Centrino processor technology (supported on 14.0 or later)
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMax 6150
- Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030

I suppose it would be best to get one of the wireless cards that comes with the 2nd generation Sandy Bridge Intel CPUs which is probably the cards in the bottom half of the list.

Thanks. I was looking at the intel wireless n 1030. A reliable one from a reputable seller from the US is $29.99 on ebay. I think i will go for it. One thing is bothering me though. What is the difference between single band and dual band cards? Does this mean the stream speed will reduce when browsing on the net and streaming movies to my tv using widi? The reason i was looking at the wireless n 1030 is its bluetooth support.

Also do you notice a difference between these 2 listings? They seem to be the same to me.
