There are 2 ways for android: Miracast mode & DLNA mode. We recommend using Miracast mode.

1. MIRACAST MODE (recommended).
Step 1: Turn on your device’s wifi – but don’t connect it to Anycast.
Step 2: Open Miracast function on your Android.


•Miracast function may has different name depending on your phone model such as : Screen mirroring/ Wireless Display/Miracast/Smart View/PlayTo/Multi Screen/Quick Connect/HTC Connect etc.
•It usually found under Quick Setting (drop down menu) or Wireless & Networks or Display or More setting. You can see some samples here: CLICK HERE
•If you did not find it, install Miracast shortcut app from Playstore like ‘Miracast Screen Mirroring Shortcut’ or ‘Wifi Display (Miracast)’. Open it & it will bring you to Miracast function.


Step 3: Enable Miracast function & let it search for Anycast for a while. When found, choose your Anycast device to start.


•If no device found, please turn off Anycast & your device’s Wifi for a minute & try again. Make sure Miracast function is enabled & your device’s wifi is on.
•Phone with minimum 1GB of RAM is recommended.

Step 1: Go to your device’s wifi, find “Anycast-xxxxxx”, input password “12345678” and connect.


Step 2: Open your internet browser, enter 192.168.49.1 and go. Then click “WIFI AP”.


Step 3: Click “Scan” & choose your wifi. Enter your wifi password & Connect. Anycast will restart & connect to your wifi router.


Step 4: Connect your phone's wifi to the same wifi router used in Step 3.

Step 5: Install DLNA sharing app from Play Store like “iMediaShare” & follow the instruction. Make sure your phone & Anycast are connected to the same wifi router.
