Wi-Fi mirroring is not a standard technology and doesn't have a universally accepted definition. However, it's often used to describe a few different concepts:
1. Display Mirroring over Wi-Fi
This refers to the process of displaying the screen of one device (like a smartphone or laptop) on another device (like a TV) wirelessly using Wi-Fi. This is similar to screen mirroring over Bluetooth, but using Wi-Fi offers a faster and more stable connection.
- Example: You can use Wi-Fi mirroring to watch a movie from your phone on your TV without having to connect them with a cable.
2. Wireless Network Mirroring
This refers to creating a duplicate of an existing Wi-Fi network. This is often used to extend the range of a Wi-Fi network or to provide internet access to devices that are not within range of the main router.
- Example: You can use a Wi-Fi extender to create a duplicate of your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to get better signal strength in your backyard.
3. Mirroring Data over Wi-Fi
This refers to copying data from one device to another over Wi-Fi. This can be used for backing up data, transferring files, or sharing files between devices.
- Example: You can use a file transfer app to copy photos from your phone to your computer over Wi-Fi.
It's important to note that the term "Wi-Fi mirroring" is often used loosely and can refer to different things depending on the context. Always clarify what is meant by "Wi-Fi mirroring" before using the term.
