Stream & Transfer Wirelessly with WifiOTT
Picture this scenario: You're staying in an Airbnb or hotel with abysmal Wi-Fi, or you are out on a camping trip in an RV. You downloaded a batch of movies and series on your Android phone, but everyone is squinting at a 6.5-inch phone screen.
You look over at the hotel's 55-inch Smart TV. You didn't bring an HDMI adapter, and Chromecast or AirPlay refuse to work because hotel Wi-Fi networks block client-to-client communication.
