This is how it looks:
Initial Configuration
The wireless media stick works with Windows, Linux and Mac. Before you can use the stick to stream your content, you need to configure it in your computer. In Windows, plug in the stick to your USB port, open your Windows Explorer and its content folder. Double click the “WMS_SetupWizard” to run the installer.
As part of the setup, it will prompt you to select your Home wireless network.
Once you are connected to the wireless network, the next step is to select the file sharing type. For Windows, you can just select the “Basic File Sharing” option.
Next, you will be prompted to select the folders to share. Select all the folders where you store your media files.
Stream to your TV
Once the setup is completed, unplug the media stick from your stick and plug it into your HDTV (or any other media player). Wait for about 60 seconds for the media stick to boot. Once it is done, you will be able to select your media files and stream them from your computer.
Points to note
- Your computer need to be running and remain running while streaming.
- The streaming is done via your Home network and router. The media stick have to be reconfigured if you bring it out of your Home network zone.
Connecting with Android device
Other than streaming media from your computer, the Wireless Media Stick can also connect to your Android device. Once connected, you will be able to share your files (in Android) to the a computer. Install the media stick app from Google Play. When you run the app, it will scan for the existence of the media stick and connect to it. Once it is connected, you can then select the files/folders that you want to share. This is particularly useful if you you need to send a file over to your friend’s computer urgently from your Android phone.
