The reason I asked is that Lenovo article says this about the screen casting capability built into Windows 10::
The beauty of technologies such as Miracast is that they don't rely on your home/office wireless network. Instead, signals are transmitted via Wi-Fi Direct, which has a shorter signal range but enables device-to-device streaming without a central router.
This would seem to indicate that the issue has nothing to do with the home WiFi network (Orbi).
The Lenovo X1 Carbon has an HDMI port, which would appear to indicate that it could be connected directly to the tv.
