Other Devices shows the networked TV, KDL-60R510A (Sony Bravia)

The computer is 10 ft from the TV

Both are within 30 ft of the router

Hi @Cmp_Cmndo,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I see that you are facing an issue with using Miracast feature on your PC.

Please follow the steps below to fix the issue.

If your computer came with Windows 10 pre-installed: It supports Miracast. Continue to the next section to make sure the wireless display supports Miracast.

If you upgraded your computer to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or earlier: In Windows, click the Action Center icon on the taskbar, and then click Connect.

If a Searching for wireless display and audio devices message displays, your computer supports Miracast.

If a Your PC or mobile device doesn't support Miracast, so it can't project wirelessly message displays, your computer cannot project wirelessly. Go to the Troubleshooting section, and then find Updating your drivers and firmware to update the wireless and graphics drivers for your computer.

Next, make sure your wireless display supports Miracast before trying to project your screen.

Check the information that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's website.

If the display supports Miracast: Continue to the next step.

If the display does not support Miracast: You can use a Miracast wireless display adapter, sometimes called a dongle, that plugs in to an HDMI port on the display. The adapter allows your computer to communicate wirelessly with the display device.

A variety of manufacturers offer Miracast adapters, such as the Actiontec ScreenBeam Wireless Display Receiver and the NetGear Push2TV (PTV3000) Wireless Display Adapter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect the adapter.

Unable to connect to the wireless display

Try the following suggestions.

Confirm that your computer is connected to the wireless network.

Restart your computer. Then restart the wireless display and adapter. If using an adapter, remove the adapter from the TV or monitor, restart your device, reinsert the wireless display adapter in the TV or monitor, and attempt to display again.

If you are using a wireless display adapter, set the video source to the correct HDMI port (the one that the wireless adapter is connected to). To do this, check the video source settings on your HDTV, monitor, or projects. For instructions, check the information that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's website.

If the adapter didn’t connect, open the Action Center, click All Settings, click Devices, and then click Connected Devices. Click Add a device, and then select the wireless display or wireless display adapter.
