Belkin’s new HDMI adapter wirelessly connects to screens from 130 feet


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 you connect to devices like laptops, tablets, and phones, and an HDMI receiver that plugs into a display. You don’t need to install drivers or stick to compatible apps, and Belkin says the adapter’s range maxes out at 131 feet, so you can use it while crashed in a hotel room or to present through a distant projector in a conference room.

The wireless adapter, which is expected to be available in “select markets” starting in Q1 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 over USB-C and the display you’re connecting to has HDMI, you can wirelessly send 1080P/60Hz video between the two. You’ll just need to ensure the HDMI receiver has access to a USB-A port for power.

The adapter’s 5GHz wireless connection does work through walls, although the range and reliability may be reduced depending on how thick they are, or what they’re made of. You can also connect up to eight transmitters to a single receiver and switch between them to avoid the hassle of swapping out receivers connected to a projector or TV installed somewhere that’s hard to reach.
