Tips

  • For details on the Wi-Fi Direct connection method, refer to the user's manual of your terminal.

  • If [Wireless Channel] is set to [Auto], it may cause a Wi-Fi Direct connection failure on some Android terminals. In this case, change the [Wireless Channel] setting to the fixed channel, then retry a connection.
