Connecting a galaxy tab 4 to a projector

Hi.
I'd like to be able to give my sales team a way of presenting to more than one person at a time. They have Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 - but I'm struggling to find a conenction method.
Not bothered if it is VGA, HDMI, DLNA or anything, I just need a video output -I'll buy a suitable micro projector when I get the output! Would Chromecast work without an indigenous wi-fi available?

Any help appreciated

Welcome to Android Central! No, Chromecast requires a wi-fi network, not just a peer-to-peer wi-fi connection. Unfortunately, the Tab 4 doesn't support MHL, so you can't connect a cable to the microUSB port that can also connect to the HDMI input on a TV or projector. I can't think of any other option, sorry.

I don't think the Tab 4 supports the Chromecast app - although they're adding devices all the time. But many apps - Chromecast supported apps - support it even if the device itself doesn't support the mirroring app.

A D-Link DWL-G730AP or DAP-1350 would solve the wifi problem, and either one fits into a large pants pocket, power supply, cable and all.

I would honestly return or sale the Tab 4 as Samsung's Tab series of tablets are absolutely the worst of the worst. The Nvidia Shield Tablet for only 300 is probably the best tablet out there for connecting to a projector. It has a built in HDMI and unlike other tablets, was built from the ground up to handle external displays such as your projector for gaming. Again, sell or return this turd, not only is it slow with its antiquated Qualcomm 400 processor, has an extremely low resolution, only 1.5 GB of RAM, no MHL support but TouchWiz is a complete dog. One of the worst skinned Android versions on the market today, even with an alternative ROM though the Tab 4 is useless. For you sanity, please, loose it.
