How to use spacedesk with a Windows laptop and Android tablet as a second display?
Quote from morestechno on 06/10/2026, 09:01I am trying to use an Android tablet as a second display for my Windows laptop and wanted to understand the recommended setup.
I have a Windows laptop and an Android tablet connected to the same Wi-Fi network. I would mainly use the tablet as an additional screen for monitoring documents, browser windows and other work while keeping the main applications on my laptop.
I would like to know whether spacedesk works reliably over a normal home Wi-Fi connection for this type of setup. I am also interested in understanding whether there are any recommended settings for reducing display lag and improving connection stability.
If anyone is using spacedesk in a similar setup, I would appreciate your experience and any configuration tips that have worked well.

If your home Wi-Fi setup is not connected to many devices, then spacedesk connection over Wi-Fi should be good. If not, you can try using USB. You may refer to the Documentation in the section “Performance Tuning” to make spacedesk’s performance better for your setup.
