Hi !
The EZCast Dongles create their own WiFi Network. With a press of a button you can choose whether its on 2.4 or 5GHz.
Its displayed in the top right as a symbol. So you can check on your Glyph if its on the right frequency and then cast the
BT-300's screen to the EZCast using their "EZCast" App.
STraightforward and YES the
BT-300 has 5G otherwise i would not have proposed this Solution.

P.S. the manual of those dongles is inadequate but the on-screen infos are relatively easy, just let me know if you run into trouble, i got both variants.
1. Okay, I got the mirroring360 sender app off the Play Store onto my phone, then used ES File explorer to access the Apk file for mirroring360 app. Uploaded that to Dropbox, down through computer and onto
bt-300 SD card. Then used a file explorer application I like, to install the Apk.
2. Connected
bt300 to ezcast WiFi
3. Opened Mirroring360 sender app on
bt300 and it immediately found the ezcast and threw the
bt300 screen off to it (I had previously set up the ezcast using their app on a phone with A TV at home)! Was very simple (made Android fake that it was an apple airplay device).
Not sure what the option for 120 seconds time out Miracast in dongle settings is all about, anyone able to enlighten me? For now I have that off.
Three issues though with this routine rather than using official app:
1. Only way to access settings of the dongle is with their official app which I cannot get to find dongle on
bt300, even with firmwares on both sides all up to date and using latest app store version stolen off my phone.
Biggest problem then: Every time the dongle is unplugged, in the settings menu, it defaults back to 2.4ghz. this is a pain in the field since it means after plugging it in I first have to connect my phone to it and change it to 5ghz, then disconnect phone and connect
bt300. This is a big pain!!! Any way to get the 5ghz setting to just stick?
2. Unlike official ezcast app, this mirroring 360 app does not send audio through since
bt300 is not rooted. Ok for fpv, but not preferable as it limits other uses. This routine and 360 app is much more limited in other ways than the official dongle app I expect.
3. On glyph, with 720p 60 dongle resolution setting, there is about an 1/8" black bar around the edges of the screen. Can this be optimized?
4. Would love to see a handful of screen shots of your dongle (and
bt300 settings) setting windows to see what options you have set in them Edger!
Suggestions for above issues?
