Setup Guide¶
Internet Router Wi-Fi Signal Strength¶
An internet wifi icon displayed in red refers to poor signal strength between the EZCast Pro Box II and your router or access point. This may result in choppy playback of videos and content if the content depends on the Internet or if you allow Connections Via Router Only
.
This can have various causes and therefore different solutions:
The distance between EZCast Pro Box II and the router or wireless access point is too great.
Try to reduce the distance or install an additional wireless access point.
There are walls or other objects between the EZCast Pro Box II and the router or wireless access point that degrade the signal strength.
Make sure that the EZCast Pro Box II has no obstacles to the router or access point. If necessary, install an additional access point.
Accessories¶
USB Power Supply (5V/2A)¶
The EZCast Pro Box II requires a stable power supply of at least 5V/2A. Although a USB port is available on many projectors and displays, unfortunately the power level is often insufficient. Without a sufficient power supply the Box might be able to power on however it will cause performance problems. If in doubt whether your projector or display can supply sufficient power, we recommend using an external power supply (5V/2A):
The Samsung USB Power Supply (5V/2A) provides a USB port with 5V/2A for the EZCast Pro Box II.
2in1 Socket Adapter USB Power Supply¶
Do you only have one power outlet available for the projector or screen? Then you can use a 2in1 Socket Adapter USB Power Supply. This adapter provides both a power outlet for your projector or monitor and a USB power supply with the minimum current of 5V/2A for the EZCast Pro Box II.
Female Socket to C14 Power Adapter¶
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling with only the power cable accessable, the question arises how to power the projector and the EZCast Pro Box II together, without having to call the electrician to carry out significant work.
A simple solution is to use the Adapter below in order to provide easy access to a standard power socket. This can be used in combination with a 2in1 Socket Adapter USB Power Supply to provide power to both the EZCast Pro and the display device.
