Is it possible to use DOPOD818pro as a USB-WIFI?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how can i use DOPOD818pro as a USB-WIFI to a Windows PC.
I already know about using DOPOD818pro as a WIFI modem for internet from Windows PC.
I know buying a new USB-WIFI & plug in to the WIndows PC, is the easy way.
But is it possible to use DOPOD818pro as a USB-WIFI?
Thanks in advance
PS:
I plan to use a software Remote Disk on a Macbook Air.
Remote Disc lets us wirelessly use or “borrow” the optical drive of a Windows PC in the vicinity.
The Macbook Air have a WIFI IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n compatible.
But my Windows PC do not have a WIFI.
I also would like to know if this is possible. I have a Diamond and would like to use it as a USB WiFi dongle so I can connect my Desktop to my laptop wirelessly. Mainly so I don't have to dig out an Ethernet switch and use cables.

Bluetooth mice on Windows 8

Hello,
I have Windows 8 Release preview installed on my tablet (Dell Latitude XT3). I previously had Consumer Preview installed on this one and on my previous tablet (HP 2740p).
Everything I have tried has had issues with my Bluetooth mouse. It will work for about 5 minutes then just disconnect. I have to turn the mouse or the Bluetooth off and back on for it to reconnect. If I go into device manager and turn off power saving for the Bluetooth module this no longer happens.
The mouse I use is the Dell PU705 Bluetooth travel mouse. I have no other Bluetooth mouse to try out. Does anyone else have any experience with Bluetooth mice on Windows 8?
I don know if Apple mice are universal but you can try them. Try Logitech mice, they are also good. (the suggestion of Apple mice is serious)
Oh, and Microsoft also makes their own mice, Im 100% sure those will work.
Sorry, did I read that correctly? By changing the power management options it works? If so whats the problem? You don't want to turn off the power saving options? Sorry but I'm not clear what the issue is, power saving or initial turn of with power saving on?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I just want to know if someone here has used a Bluetooth mouse with their Windows 8 computer and if it's been fine or not. If there are other mice that don't have issues, I'll look into one of those.
I don't want to disable the power saving on the Bluetooth because it causes a very noticeable loss of battery life.
No one has used a bluetooth mouse on their Windows 8 PC?

If Windows 8 is running in a VM then your test doesn't give any useful information because it is Mac OS handling the mouse, not Windows 8.

I have a Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse, it is working well right from the installation
I had no problems with system sleeping and waking up the system with Mouse.
Options for power save for the mouse is off, I suspect because it is a desktop
The Arc Touch mouse is not Bluetooth, it's just proprietary wireless.
Please, only comment if you have a Bluetooth mouse and not running Windows 8 in a VM, all other mice are irrelevant.

[Q] Pairing controller with Android

Is it possible to pair the Nexus Player ASUS controller with any Android device? I mean is it a general Bluetooth controller one could use for gaming on a tablet, phone, like any other Bluetooth gamepads out there?

You should be able to over Bluetooth which is how it connects tot he NP. I known that emulators support controllers so why not give it a try? If you don't have the NP I'll try it and let you know
My controller successfully gets connected with my phone and my laptop. Just press the home and back button together for a few seconds to get it to pairing mode and the simply pair it via bluetooth.
I don't have a NP, it doesn't seem to be good enough to order (have a Chromecast), with the limited memory and stuff. But the Gamepad looks so cool, I thought why not get it for my Android games? Wanted to have a Bluetooth gamepad anyways for some time...

A normal windows laptop with Bluetooth
What edition of windows? I couldn't see available for pairing it on my MSI GT70 with Windows 8.1 64-bit. Other devices pair just fine.
I got it to pair on my laptop. But the buttons and pads aren't mapped correctly, e.g. it didn't work on Steam Big Picture or on any games. It's stuck going top-right. I assume they have the triggers mapped on the wrong axis. If anyone knows a way to remap the buttons, d-pad and sticks, I'd try it again. And it connected perfectly with my phone (Oneplus One.) I didn't test every button, wouldn't know how. Was able to remap some of them in MAME4Droid.
I paired the np remote with my nexus 6 and have an issue, when using it in Kodi, the select button ( the big center round one) does not do anything, any ideas?
I couldn't pair it with my G4, any tips?

Using new fire tv remote od Windows 10 PC

Hi, I'm trying to pair the new Fire TV remote (the one with volume control buttons) with my Asus T-100TA win10 PC to control KODI witch I use in the kitchen or while we go on a vacation. The old Fire TV remote (from Fire TV 4K) work only partialy and don't have the volume buttons.
The problem is I can't pair the new remote, it appears while adding a new bluetooth device screen as an AR controller, but has an error while pairing. I've tried to pair it with na new Dell laptop but had the same problem. I did however maneged to pair it with a Samsung android phone! all the buttons worked. I think there is a problem with Win10 bluetooth drivers, but I have no idea how to change them or what to look for.
The new Fire TV remote would be perfect for my Asus PC, it's small, has grat buttons and everything I want with a remote, and right now I'm not using it (I control my Fire TV via CEC protocol and a Harmony One remote).
Any help on how to pair the FTV remote witch a PC would be great.

How do I connect my laptop to my smart TV wirelessly?

Hi friends,
I need a little help. I bought a new Android TV, but I am not able to connect it with my laptop.
It could be a problem with the television or laptop.
So I was wondering if a standard laptop is required for that or if I need to install any third-party apps for this because someone suggested I get a smart processor laptop, such as an Intel evo, for this.
Is this mandatory to have an Intel Evo laptop to connect to a smart TV?.
Im sure any laptop running windows can connect to Smart Tv's?
Both must be on same wifi or tv Via WIre and laptop via wifi?
In windows settings look under Devices if tv not there click on add device and it should search and when you
see you're tv click on it to add? they you should be able to mirror you're pc etc?
