Hi @PPittman 

 

Sky glass is a client device and connects to WiFi. It doesn't transmit  / boost WiFi signal like Sky Q.

 

What are you trying to do?

Sky Glass has airplay.

Enable it in the Sky Glass apps and inputs.

Which would allow you to airplay (cast screen and content) from an Apple phone or iPad.

 

You can easily add a Chomecast to one of the Sky Glass hdmi ports to allow Android devices to cast.

@PPittman Glass doesn't support screencasting for Android devices, only Apple Airplay.

 

Really hoped the Gen Two would support this but alas, no.

Yes, seems a shame that android devices wont work, otherwise i have to plug laptop in.

 

Maybe SKY are listening to us!
