Hi, I thought I would post this as I have been trying for a while to figure out why our Microsoft Wireless adapters were dropping connections.
We use a Ruckus Solution with 2.4GHz and 5GHz turned on.
Findings: I found this site, How Miracast Communicates Over Wifi Networks - Barbs Connected World and it got me thinking. On the Ruckus Config page for the 2.4GHz, I turned off the channels for 1, 6 and 11. Then turned off the channels next to those three. So in all, channels 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12 we unchecked/turned off. This left channels 3, 4, 8, 9 and 13. This is more than enough channels to use and as such, our network has been much more stable and I have not yet had any issues with Miracast devices. This was implemented at the end of March 2016.
If you have a similar wireless management system then try this is you are looking at using Miracast device for screen sharing. It works great in a classroom, where we have a 65" TV, Microsoft Wireless adapter, and a Surface Pro for the staff. The Surface become the interactive screen and then shares to the TV. You do not need to stand at the front of the class anymore.
This also improved the Apple TV devices as they do not interfere on those channels either. Wi-Fi log in time has improved also.
If anyone else has ideas on this then please let me know.
Tom.
