HRKFixed the link, that's a great idea though wonder how good the image quality is... Can't be too bad since most use a wifi connection for streaming.

xantomI am actually quite surprised those have as good of reviews as they do. My first thought was that it probably wouldn't work too good but looks like they are quite a few good reviews out there for others as well. I would expect lag if you are gaming or watching 4k video. I would get one that has the free return option through Amazon, and just send it back if it doesn't work for you.

joel9507Any possibility of using 'casting' to get the signal to the TV? If your TV is on your network and if PC/phone/pad can cast to the TV, that uses your network instead.
Here's a discussion of one way that might work, with a Windows 11 PC. If that's an option for your system, it would save the cost of getting wireless HDMI hardware. Plus it would avoid the signal degradation from converting/reconverting signals.

trapper18912 years ago I had a Zyxel wireless transmitter and receiver setup that used a 60GHz frequency (yes, 60) to transmit 4Gbps. It was enough for uncompressed 3D 1080p with 7.1 audio in Dolby and dts.
4k @ 60fps requires 18Gbps and 120fps or more requires 36Gbps or more. Any wireless HDMI using the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands are going to use a lot of compression for video and audio. I have no idea what you’d be giving up to go wireless. If you’re just browsing the internet or showing PowerPoint presentations, then it’d probably be fine. If you’re a 4k gamer, then I suspect you won’t be happy with the results.
