The Actiontec ScreenBeam USB Transmitter lets a compatible Windows PC send its display wirelessly to a supported ScreenBeam receiver. Its driver helps Windows recognize the USB transmitter and enables it to work with the ScreenBeam software used to establish the wireless display connection.

Key Features

• USB device recognition: Provides the driver components needed for Windows to identify and communicate with the ScreenBeam transmitter.
• Wireless display support: Works with compatible ScreenBeam software and receiver hardware to send your PC’s screen to a connected TV, monitor, or projector.
• Connection management: Enables communication between the transmitter and the operating system during setup and use.
• Windows compatibility: Driver options cover Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7. Select a package that explicitly matches your Windows version and system architecture, since compatibility can vary between releases.

How to Install

1. Check your system and hardware. Confirm that you have the Actiontec ScreenBeam USB Transmitter, rather than a different ScreenBeam adapter. Check your Windows version and whether your system uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

1. Choose the matching driver package. Download the ActionTec driver intended for your transmitter and operating system. Review any included requirements, especially if the package also contains ScreenBeam connection software.

1. Prepare the installation files. Extract the download if it is compressed, then read any included setup instructions. Keep the transmitter disconnected unless those instructions tell you to plug it in first.

1. Run the installer. Open the setup program and approve the Windows administrator prompt if requested. Follow the on-screen directions, connect the transmitter when instructed, and restart the PC if prompted.

1. Verify and test the connection. Check Device Manager for an unrecognized device or warning icon. With a compatible ScreenBeam receiver powered on and connected to your display, open the required ScreenBeam software and follow its pairing instructions.

If Windows does not detect the transmitter, try another USB port directly on the PC and confirm that the installed package matches your hardware. A successful driver installation alone does not complete wireless display setup; the receiver and connection software must also be configured correctly.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Disconnect the ScreenBeam USB transmitter, run the Actiontec installer as administrator, and temporarily disable antivirus/EDR. If Windows blocks an older driver, install the version matched to your Windows build and reboot before reconnecting the transmitter.
• Device not detected: Use a direct rear USB 2.0 port instead of a hub/dock, check Device Manager for unknown USB entries, and reseat the transmitter. Update chipset/USB drivers and confirm the ScreenBeam receiver is powered and paired.
• Version conflicts: Remove older ScreenBeam/Actiontec USB display drivers in Apps & Features and Device Manager, including hidden devices, then install one driver version only. Match driver and firmware to the receiver model; roll back if a Windows update breaks display output.
