Question about Microsoft Wireless Display v2

Do the adapter and e.g. the PC have to be connected to the same WLAN? Is it connected to WLAN at all? Can I, for example, work on the PC with a VPN connection and transfer the picture 1:1 to the TV?

Helpful answer

Neither the adapter nor the PC require a WLAN connection. The connection between the adapter and the PC is made via a MIRACAST radio connection, which the adapter automatically establishes via the PC. However, this only works with Windows 8 or 10. The PC can be connected to the Internet at the same time, even via VPN - that is no problem.

I would like to add, based on my experience with Miracast (and other similar wireless technologies): Always test first! Today I no longer take a bag full of cables with me, but a bag full of sticks+co (AppleTV, Chromecast, 2 different Miracast etc.). Or just - tested 1:1 beforehand.
