How laggy is it over Wi-Fi?

It’s best used for desktop apps and things like PowerPoint. It starts to lose frames and have tearing when doing video. I doubt it would be acceptable for any gaming.

It works well enough, but it’s not going to satisfy people who are concerned with things like benchmarks and FPS.

I believe this exclusively uses WiFi direct and skips the AP completely, but I can't completely confirm with a quick google.

Yep, it does - the underlying technology is based on Miracast and works only with Wifi adapters made by Intel because it's point-to-point. Sadly it doesn't work through an AP connection at all.

Works simultaneously here, Intel and most phones support multi-role.

Yes, I just mean it doesn't work over your WiFi connection, so you can't connect another device elsewhere on the network, it has to be in range.
