"Wireless video streaming is already baked into Apple and Android devices through AirPlay and Google Cast, but using those features away from home requires access to a compatible TV or streaming box and a reliable Wi-Fi network. If all I used a shared TV for while traveling was watching our favorite shows, a compact HDMI dongle from Roku or Amazon would be the easiest solution."
"It's not a perfect solution, but the few compromises are easy to overlook given how easy the $149.99 ConnectAir is to use. Setting up the wireless video adapter was even easier than using AirPlay or Google Cast. It comes with a transmitter dongle, roughly the size of a wireless earbuds charging case, that you can plug into any device with a USB-C port that supports the DisplayPort Alt Mode."
"The ConnectAir also comes with a 28-inch receiver cable featuring an HDMI connector on one end and a USB-A connector on the other for power. Most hotel rooms, or at least those that have been upgraded sometime in the past 15 years, should have a TV with a USB port on the back that can power HDMI accessories."
Belkin's ConnectAir wireless HDMI adapter provides a convenient solution for travelers who want to display content from mobile devices on hotel or Airbnb TVs without logging into streaming services or dealing with physical cables. Unlike built-in wireless options like AirPlay and Google Cast that require compatible devices and reliable Wi-Fi, the ConnectAir works with any TV and supports multiple use cases including photo browsing, trip planning, and gaming. The adapter includes a small USB-C transmitter dongle and a 28-inch receiver cable with HDMI and USB-A connectors. Setup is straightforward, and most modern hotel TVs have USB ports to power the receiver, making it a practical alternative to traditional wired connections.
