Belkin has announced a new wireless display adapter that works without the need for a Wi-Fi network. The ConnectAir Wireless HDMI Display Adapter includes a USB-C transmitter that you can connect to devices like laptops, tablets, and phones and an HDMI receiver that plugs into your display. You don’t need to install drivers or commit to compatible apps, and Belkin says the adapter has a maximum range of 131 feet, so you can use it while crashing in a hotel room or projecting through a remote projector in a conference room.
The wireless adapter, which is expected to be available in “select markets” starting in the first quarter of 2026 for $149.99, isn’t as convenient as Apple AirPlay or Google Cast, but it’s not limited to only devices that support those protocols. As long as the source device can deliver a video signal via USB-C and the monitor you’re connecting to has HDMI, you can send 1080p/60Hz video wirelessly between the two. You’ll just need to make sure your HDMI receiver has access to a USB-A port for power.
The adapter’s 5GHz wireless connection works through walls, though range and reliability may decrease depending on how thick they are or what material they’re made of. You can also connect up to eight transmitters to one receiver and switch between them to avoid the hassle of switching receivers connected to a projector or TV installed in a hard-to-reach location.
