1. A client apparatus comprising:
- a receive manager to listen for and receive, via a WiFi link, information associated with an infrastructure discovery of a receiver, wherein the information is received from the receiver in a beacon signal and includes a specially formatted server set identifier (SSID), and wherein the receive manager is to extract connection information from the SSID including an encoded string that identifies an Internet Protocol (IP) address and port number for connectivity to the receiver;
a discovery controller communicatively coupled to the receive manager, the discovery controller to discover the receiver via an infrastructure network link;
a link manager communicatively coupled to the discovery controller, the link manager to form a connection with the receiver via the infrastructure network link; and
a content source communicatively coupled to the link manager, the content source to stream content to the receiver via the connection.

Abstract
Apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that uses a wireless display docking over an infrastructure network by receiving, via a WiFi link, information associate with an infrastructure discovery of a receiver, using the information to discover the receiver via an infrastructure network i link, forming a connection with the receiver via the infrastructure network link, and streaming content to the receiver via the connection. In addition, receiver technology may emit a beacon signal via a WiFi link, form a connection with a client device via an infrastructure network link, and receive streamed content from the client device via the infrastructure network link.
