8. RECOMMENDATION
My recommendation is for the use of Air Server versus Reflector 2. Both
are generally the same software used for mobile mirroring of devices
with the same functions with the exception of reflector 2 having a few
more. In my experience,Air Server has worked better and does not lag
at all when I use it.The connection is very easy and it usually maintains
connection throughout the day while I go back and forth between
activities and different screens. I have heard both instances where
Reflector 2 did not work at all for them or that it was very laggy. I did
not have as much of this complication myself but I also have never had
any complication with air server.
