Miracast not working on new Yamaha BD-S677 bluray player - Please advise me
I have a new Yamaha BD-S677 bluray player w/ Miracast. While it sounds great w/ movies and music, I
can't seem to get my new Droid Turbo Android phone to connect to the Yamaha for
Miracast.
The process is to push the Miracast button on the Yamaha remote, then I have 60sec to link my new Droid Turbo Android phone with Miracast to it. Directions say to go into Settings > Display > Cast Screen on my Android phone. I only get a notice 'no device detected', even when only 1' away from the player.
Has anyone else have this problem? Or what am I doing wrong?

I don't know anything about the network setup interface on your Yamaha, but I'd check to see if it has an IP address through your router. Though, if you can stream netflix and pandora through it, the networks setup is probably ok. Also, another thing to check is signal strength of your wireless at the location that you are attempting to connect. |
Ah ok. I think I get what’s going on after doing some reading. Miracast creates an ad-hoc wireless network, so you’ll likely have to connect to it through your phone. So, search for wireless networks on your phone and you should find the yamaha. You don’t need a router or wireless network for your home. Essentially the yamaha is providing the access point.
