   The way I understand it is that if you have the Wireless Display capability   
   enabled / included within your PC, it broadcasts wireless directly from the   
   PC to the MICROSOFT display device, which I believe works on the Miracast   
   technology.  It does NOT run through LAN to a router; so unlike a Ring Door   
   Bell, as an example, it does not require pairing the Wireless Display to the   
   router.  It works more like bluetooth.  I hope that makes sense.  You have to   
   have the PC within 200ft range of the dongle to get good reception for it to   
   work as a result; unless they make some type of repeater.  Considering my TV   
   as well as my second monitor are within 10ft of the PC, I can speak to it   
   working perfectly.  And, it's not consuming resources or bandwidth (whatever   
   it's called) from the router.
