I am thing I missed something but my Shield cant find my pc. Geforce experience says everything is good but the wifi, and says I need wireless a/g router or a wireless n router is needed, I have a wireless n access point but no router.
Here is what Geforce experience says about my pc.

If more specific PC specs are needed please tell me.
Is your PC on wireless, or do you have it wired to the network? Also, from 1wayjonny:
Please check your advanced wireless router settings and check if IGMP snooping is enabled.
If so try to disable IGMP snoop or any jitter correction like WMM as well.
Hope this helps, it took hours to figure out the router setting.
No my PC is not on wireless, it is connected to a gigabit Switch. I am not sure if that switch goes to the WiFi AP or if it goes to another switch then the WiFi AP.
I already looked for IGMP snooping and did not see anything close to that.

And you've checked that your SHIELD has taken the update (you'd know, it requires a reboot like any OTA)
It might be related to my problem, but check these:
1. Are the IP of your shield and PC on the same network, only last number is different? (ex. 192.168.1.*) If so then they are on the same "router".
2. You are already on the beta drivers, make sure you have the newest Shield firmware like agrabren mentioned.
3. Reboot everything.
4. In Geforce experience, have you had it scan for games? This is a must and must be done first.
5. Now go to Preferences and click on the Streaming Tab. Is "Allow..." checked? If so, click the reset button.
6. Try going to PC Play on your shield and hopefully it will see your PC.

my shield matches the above.
Rebooting is always the magic elixir
My problem was my shield could see my PC but not acknowledge the connection. I fixed it by uninstalling Geforce Experience and reinstalling it (scanning for games, clicking reset under streaming, then trying it). Try uninstalling GE (not the drivers), rebooting, reinstalling and giving it a go.

There is probably more I have forgotten.
Some of those things have a good chance of having problems after rebooting.

I was thinking of just the PC and the Shield, but looking at the list of things on your network I'm thinking the PC might not be the problem. There might be something in the AP or the two switches that is preventing the Shield from seeing it. You might try getting some Android network tools (ping and such) to test if the shield can see the PC's IP. I haven't done network troubleshooting with Android so I can't recommend any good methods, but you could probably find some forums on XDA that would help.
I'd try the reinstall of Geforce Experience first just to make sure it's not that.

I had to uninstall both my graphics driver and GFE client and reinstall them to get mine working...
And dang, that's a heck of a setup.
If you search for mDNS or Bonjour tools, they have a discovery tool that should help you find your GFE PC. That's how SHIELD does it.
I have reinstalled GFE, Drivers, and have restarted both my pc and shield no diffference. Shield says "No available GeForce GTX PCs Found"
Hi
I have this running on a DAP-1525 access point so its OK that it is not the router.
I saw you looked for the IGMP, and that sucker was my exact issue after hours. The funny thing is it was default while the router did not have this default from factory.
Would you mind sharing what AP model you have?
sure my access point is a trendnet TEW-638APB. Thought I posted that, but it looks like i did not.

I'm fully stumped. At work, I have the following setup (which is a closer match to your setup than my home setup)
1x NetGear Gigabit Switch
1x NetGear N900 Wireless Router in AP mode (only cable is from switch to internet port)
2x PCs connected to Gigabit Switch
The discovery traffic is mDNS (also known as Bonjour) so if anything is configured to filter that out, that'll be a problem. It's also considered a broadcast packet, so you may be able to research Bonjour or mDNS and your wireless AP or other equipment... If you have another computer on the network, there are tools for mDNS discovery, you could use those to see if the PC is appearing (but I don't remember it's discovery name).
Wish I could be more help, but not really my area. I'm an Android guy. You can also try grabbing a logcat on your device, it may say something when you go into the TegraZone dashboard.
will try logcat, and I did try using mdnsscarn from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdnstools/?source=navbar and windows that spits out "Port 47989 is open on 192.168.0.76"

That sounds like the port... But there should be a service name with it from mDNS...
Can I get the exact name for that mdns service, I can't find anything close to dns or mdns running on my computer.
actully I can find something but only dnscache.
My only other suggestions for debugging is make sure the nvStreaming service is running. If you start the Task Manager (right click on start bar) then look for NVSTREAMER.EXE. If it's not running that's the main problem. There's a service for it (Admin tools/services) that I think GFE installs. If it's there and not running then try starting it. If it's not there at all then I guess reinstall GFE again.
Another thing I can think to try is turn off windows firewall (or any that you are using) in the Control Panel.
The last thing is to isolate your setup to just the Shield, wireless AP, and PC. Plug the AP (LAN port) directly into the PC so it's just serving the Shield wirelessly and the PC wired. If the AP is just a simple WAN port (no LAN) then see if you can set it up as a bridge (a pain) or better yet, try another AP. Hopefully you can isolate the problem.

This is a PSA for those who mirror their Android phone onto Windows each day that there is a wonderfully convenient new TILE for Wireless debugging.

Android Wireless-debugging tile
That new Wireless-Debugging tile replaces this sequence of commands:
Settings > Developer options > Wireless debugging = on
But a lot of things turn that 'Wireless debugging' switch off on you!
Boot turns W/L debug off
It's not easy to find that new TILE though, where I found it here.
Settings > Developer options > Quick settings developer tiles
Wireless debugging = on
Which gets automatically turned off whenever your Wi-Fi is turned off
(so you're constantly turning it back on if you have Wi-Fi not set to turn on automatically & if auto-reconnect is also off for privacy reasons).
Allow wireless debugging
In summary, this new "developer options tile" for 'wireless debugging" is a great time saver as it's required to mirror Android over Wi-Fi without USB.
ScrCpy vs Vysor PC mirror
--
The background is for privacy I have my home router set to not broadcast the SSID (so as to keep it out of databases which don't respect the "_nomap" opt-out naming conventions and to prevent most phones from uploading it even to the servers that do respect the opt out naming conventions) and therefore, it's required for privacy to also set my Android Wi-Fi radio to not broadcast that SSID when I'm away from that home router (i.e., Android Wi-Fi setting for that specific SSID is set to not auto-reconnect).
Because of those two privacy options (one on the router, the other on the phone), whenever my phone disconnects from Wi-Fi (e.g., if I drive down the driveway away from my home router), the Wi-Fi on the phone also turns off, which is exactly what I want to happen.
However, when I return home, the Wi-Fi on the phone has to be manually turned on, and so does 'Wireless debugging' in 'Developer options' because you need to be connected to a Wi-Fi access point and you need to have Wi-Fi Debugging turned on in order to establish a Wi-Fi adb connection over Windows to mirror the phone display, keyboard, mouse, and clipboard onto the PC (without ever needing to use a USB cable, even only momentarily).
Given that background, I was seeking a simpler way to turn on Androiud 'Wireless debugging', which turns out to be adding this 'Wireless debuggon = on/off' goggle tile to your Android swipe-down menu.
The use model is when you reboot the PC or when you return home, you swipe down on Android 12 to tap both the Wi-Fi and 'Wireless debugging' toggling tiles, and then you can mirror your phone onto your PC using the following adb commands on the phone and PC (listed in step-by-step order although there are many ways to accomplish the same task - this is only one of them)
(Phone) Swipe down & manually turn on Wi-Fi via the "Wi-Fi" TILE
(Phone) Longpress on that 'Wi-Fi' TILE to connect to a previously saved AP
(Phone) Tap to toggle the 'Wireless debugging' Android TILE on.
(PC) C:\> adb kill-server (optional, to set a known starting point)
(PC) C:\> ping 192.168.0.2 (optional, to check if you're on the LAN)
(PC) C:\> adb devices
(PC) C:\> vysor.exe (this will bring up the Vysor GUI to mirror Android)
Note prior to Android 11, to establish that adb connection over Wi-Fi, you first had to use a USB cable to set up tcpip on port 5555 and _then_ after establishing a link to adb, you could disconnect USB to use it on Wi-Fi.
C:\> ping 192.168.0.2 (optional to test you're on the LAN over Wi-Fi)
C:\> adb kill-server (optional to start at a known starting point)
C:\> adb tcpip 5555
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555 (port is optional)
C:\> adb devices (optional to see what devices are connected over adb)
But the situation I'm describing does _not_ need to use that USB cable.
Great explanation THANKS!!!
One silly issue, where you can have a lead for me:
every time Wireless Debug reconnects it will change randomly IPort number
I use SCRCPY which is similar to VYSOR... but completely free...
it will not be able to reconnect not knowing what port to call, and having lost the previous one.
Using SCRCPY I'm mirroring two static androids on USB and that's fine,
but the issue is with the other two mobile androids ( main & backup ) that I have to connect wireless because they are moving with me.
This is part of the .BAT for my main cell> POCO F3
::Go wireless instead
:Wireless
ADB connect 10.0.1.103:38277
scrcpy.exe --window-x 1500 --window-y 45 -s 10.0.1.103:38277
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is POCO F3 W. D. screen with the ver changing port number
.... BAT results are the same with the wrong port and without a port number
By default without a Port Number,
it will try only the standard port:55555 and as per the previous Port:38227 it will not be authorized to use it !!!
Is there a way to set fixed that Port number?
I have to manually look at it and then change it in my .BAT.
Even a simpler roundabout that allows me to get back my androids automatically on the PC will be fine !!!

I know. I know. It happens to me also.
It's even worse in some ways in that BOTH ports change.
That is, every once in a while the random port changes for the adb "connect" command:
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:12345
And, at the same time, the random port (which is a DIFFERENT port!) also changes for the adb "pair" command (as does the 6-digit PIN).
C:\> adb pair 192.168.0.2:54321 123456
Sometimes the port stays the same for days, sometimes it changes. I haven't tested yet what circumstances change that port, but I agree with you that it happens a lot.

I use both scrcpy and vysor (both of which are free, but vysor has some non-free stuff that I don't need).
Interestingly Vysor "says" it won't do pure wireless without paying for it but that isn't true - both scrcpy & vysor work completely wirelessly.
Vysor won't give you the good resolution without paying for it while scrcpy will give you better resolution all the time.
They're essentially the same (as far as I can tell anyway)... where I had to write a script to make scrcpy work without the console though (whereas vysor works without the console without modification).
Certainly Vysor is SLOWER than scrcpy on startup, where scrcpy is almost immediate and nothing needs to be put onto Android, but with Vysor, it MUST install some temporary vysor.apk each time you run it, but once they're both up and running, the speed is indistinguishable (as far as I can tell).
The one thing Vysor seems to do better than scrcpy is it seems to figure out better what port adb is currently on - but I don't know how Vysor does it - and - worse - Vysor doesn't do it correctly every time.
It's frustrating - which is why I AGREE with you that if we could somehow lock the port down on Android - that would solve the problem - or - if we could figure out using a Windows command what the current port is on Android - that would also solve the problem.
We need help from Windows/Android experts!

I'm with you about the port number having to be put into the batch file, where I have a batch file for scrcpy that no longer requires the port but I have to establish the adb connection first unfortunately.

I have the same problem that the port keeps changing.
I have the same question as you do, but I was approaching it from the OTHER angle.
That is, the batch file can ascertain what the port number is.
That's possible - but I don't know Windows well enough to be successful all the time. Sigh.

I think there are two approaches to a solution.
1. Try to keep the port static, or,
2. Try to figure out the port (after the fact) in the batch file.
I've been working on the latter using these Windows commands.
C:\> netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.0.2"
C:\> adb shell "ifconfig|grep -A 1 wlan0|tail -n 1|cut -f2 -d:|cut -f1 -d' '"
C:\> adb mdns services
C:\> nmap 192.168.0.2
But I need help in how to figure out the port from Windows.
Once we figure out the port, we can feed it to the batch files.
Wow, interesting!
Would I've been in my glorious years my brain would have helped a, lot.
Now I'll try to do my best.
Differences in our network management:
Cell side
>All my cell's IP are static by router
>All my cell have USB Debugging enabled
>All my cell have Wireless enabled :: Unless the phone disable it
LAN side
>My LAN is always on > All home is covered but 2mt of south balcony
>I lose Wireless When I leave Home :: When I go on South Balcony

From you I get that ...
We can in some way divine the port number
With netstat / ipconfig using the fixed cell Ip
But so far it seems No cells are connected to the LAN
103 = PocoF3
109 = P9 Lite
110 = HonorW10
105 = N5T
065 = T365
for sure I'm doing something wrong using this command: "netstat -ano -p tcp"
I checked as well "netstat -ano -q"
For sure PF3s is now connected on USB to the PC, but also sure it should appear on LAN as well
The router see all of them
When I come back home, it seems that the cell have not reset the Wireless debugging
but that's not true !!!
When I enable it, it will assign a new port...
... will it announce on the network as "port OPEN xyyyzxx"
... or it will be used just LISTENING to check the connect request??
BTW : I never used the pairing method you use.
While I know that you can look at all the TCP connections related to your IP
I have a big doubt that W10 would see the full Lan IP_Ports from its own interface.
...
..... digging down on that.
.... Mumble ... mumble .. mumble...
YEEEESSSSSS!!!
My brain became sluggish but it still work - in a way
Netstat and IPConfig works only from inside to any outward connection/adapter,
and they cannot go looking out.
You have to use a different command "PORTQRY" to be downloaded from Microsoft itself:
"To view the TCP/UDP open port state of a remote host, type “portqry.exe –n [hostname/IP]” where [hostname/IP] is replaced with the hostname or IP address of the remote host. You can also specify to scan for a particular port using the “-e [port_number]” parameter, a particular range of ports using the “-r [start_range:end_range]” parameter, or a group of ports in a particular order using the “-o [port1, port2, port3]” parameter."
Last thing to do:
Learn how to use "portqry.exe"
____________________________________________
Here we go from my observations:
Assuming the random port being in the range 30k-44k, I need to check who's listening.
I get the identification string response > using the known port I checked in Android's PF3s settings.
But the process takes several minutes up to half an hour...
NP this is the first screenshot... just in case you read it before I'm back online.
#@#!!!!!
ok, it took 12 minutes to check 138 ports !!!
I tested that on a shorter range_
Seems I cannot delimit correctly the FINDSTR "xxxxxxxxxx"
It's a good night for me !!!
<2022-08-02 01:23:41>this post took 3hours 11minutes 33seconds - using a very large amount of my BRAIN<
:-D
Wow. That's a lot to digest. You did great work!
Really great work!
Thanks for all that work on behalf of me and you and everyone!
I will have to take HOURS to go through all the wonderful work you did, particularly in finding that "portqry.exe" command that maybe can tell us what port the Android phone recently switched to (since that's the root of the problem!).
BTW, regarding the "adb connect" versus "adb pair", I think the difference is just in encryption (connect apparently isn't encrypted), where if that's the case, it doesn't matter which you use otherwise.
However, I could be wrong, so I had asked a while ago here, but nobody answered the question unfortunately.
What's the difference between Windows/Android adb "connect" versus adb "pair" when mirroring Android 12 over Wi-Fi onto a Windows PC?
Since you posted your script, here is my scrcpy script which gets rid of the console (but adb has to already be connected for it to work without the port number - which is how I use it most myself).
Code:
@echo off
REM C:\app\editor\android\scrcpy\showwin.bat
REM adb mdns services
REM List of discovered mdns services
REM netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.1.10"
REM TCP 192.168.1.27:15919 192.168.1.10:41913 ESTABLISHED 7904
REM
cd /d "c:\app\editor\android\scrcpy"
certutil -f -decode %~f0 showwin.exe>nul
REM Port 5555 was needed when you established adb connections over USB
REM And then you disconnected the USB cable to subsequently work on Wi-Fi
REM But as of Android 11 or 12, you can establish the connection over Wi-Fi
REM But that "Developer option" "Wireless debugging" port is assigned by Android!
REM So you have to get it on Android or on Windows to know what it is
REM adb connect 192.168.1.10:5555
REM You can get the current port from the following command
REM c:\> netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.1.10"
REM
REM maybe we do NOT need this command after all???
REM adb connect 192.168.1.10:41913

REM scrcpy --always-on-top --tcpip=192.168.1.10:5555
REM Maybe we can then remove the IP:PORT after all???

In addition, if you run any free WebDAV server, you can mount your entire Android phone (even most of the read-only root partition!) as a drive letter onto Windows without having to use FTPUse to do it.
C:\> net use Z: \\[email protected]\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar & net use Y: \\[email protected]\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar
I had to use TWO free webdav servers though... one for the internal sdcard and one for the external sdcard - each on a different port - as nobody solved the problem I posed a while ago over here asking how to do it with just one webdav server.
Can you mount BOTH Android internal & external storage onto Windows as a drive letter over Wi-Fi using a SINGLE WebDAV server?

This morning I downloaded the Microsoft PortQry command where I place what I did below to help save time for others who can read this instead of doing it to get an idea of what it is & how it installs.
1. Googling, I found the canonical location of the Microsoft command.
PortQry Command Line Port Scanner Version 2.0<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17148>
2. I downloaded it (where I'm not sure if this URL is static or dynamic):
<https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/d/9/0d9d81cf-4ef2-4aa5-8cea-95a935ee09c9/PortQryV2.exe>Date: 20220802Name: PortQryV2.exeSize: 151112 bytes (147 KiB)SHA256: 6471C5190A99E3D1F337FCFEF1FC410E8D487B66E093F924700E186CBD398DC0
Doubleclicking on the file above asks to unzip it.
It wants to go by default into c:\PortQryV2Instead I put it where it belongs at c:\app\network\portqry (Note that I decide where things belong... not a billion different developers who don't have a common vision.)
Resulting in:

Then I downloaded the port query user interface.

I doubleclick portqueryui.exe and a GUI comes up & I type the IP address of the phone (sans port) and then the MS Port Query GUI runs a scan of the phone's IP address, which, let's face it, takes a very long time to complete (at least with the defaults it does).
BTW, I've noticed the ports used by adb seem to always be in the same range of 3#### and 4#### so maybe we can save some time by scanning only those ports as explained here.

As I explained over here a while ago, most of us do a bunch of things that provide us Wi-Fi privacy that we have to keep in mind, where what I do is somewhat similar to what you do, as shown below.
My home SSID/passphrase do not contain identifying words
So as to keep out of WPA2/PSK butterfly/rainbow hash tables
While at the same time they are as unique as I can make them
And I change them every once in a while for obvious reasons
Where the SSID has "_nomap" (it used to also have "_optout_")
But that doesn't stop WiGle/NetStumbler/Kismet/etc. uploads
And that doesn't stop passwerby from uploading to Google/Mozilla servers either!
Even as these well-behaved servers "say" they scrub this information
So that Google/Mozilla get it - but they don't publish it
Because you can be tracked if anyone knows your phone SSID
Simply by querying the public servers with any other known SSID
So I also turn off the broadcast of that SSID on my home router
Which means the cell phone has to remember the SSID
But the phone would "shout out" that SSID with AutoConnect
So I turn "AutoConnect=off" on the cell phone
So now, when I go down my driveway, it doesn't shout it out
In addition, I used to randomize the MAC by each SSID
Which meant that random BSSID was "reserved" on my router
And that the IP address was set to "static" on the phone
New in Android 12 Developer options, I can now randomize the phone's Wi-Fi MAC address on each and every connection
While still reserving the IP address on the home router
And, like you, every phone I get, the first thing I do is enable USB debugging (so I can recover from a smashed screen), yet, with Android 12, there's never a need for a USB cable anymore as everything it did is now rendered obsolete nowadays...
a. Many phones charge wirelessly nowadaysb. My phone is mirrored (sound/screen/keyboard/clipboard) over Wi-Fi to my PC (sndcpy,scrcpy,visor)c. My unrooted phone is mounted as a drive letter onto Windows (Z: for the internal sdcard and Y: for the external sdcard)And, of course, there are a few things which are forbidden on my phone:
a. There will never be a mothership tracking account (not Google, not Samsung, not my Bank, nothing)b. There will never be a way to pay for anything or to get money from anywherec. There will never be a log in to a mothership account (except, perhaps, email, when necessary)
And, most radios are turned off by default, and only turned on when necessary and then turned off again...
a. Uploads of other people's Wi-Fi to Google servers are always permanently turned off
b. The GPS radio is off by default & location accuracy is always off
c. The NFC radio is turned off by default
d. The Bluetooth radio is turned off by default
e. Developer options Wireless debugging is on by default (but it turns off when the AP is no longer connected when I leave my driveway)
The only radios left on, by default are:
a. The cellular radio
b. The cellular data radio
And I have a few cellular and cellular data aps monitoring when I'm out of cellular calling/data range (but this isn't a privacy thing per se).

Big issue is the time needed to connect the cell to the PC
> for the first time after you get home
For me, reconnecting it's twice a week in a normal situation, 'cause I'm normally locked in bed...
...but I imagine you and other people are in a different situation.
For me, it would be no problem at all, if under 1 hour,
provided that the .Bat will wait for the PocoF3
> xxx.103 to appear in LAN, before starting to look for the port.
This is why:
After a foraging boot, I enter the LAN while I'm parking the car downstairs.
Both Car and Cell connect nearly at the same time.
It will take some time ....
to climb 19 steps and getting upstairs, enter the home, arrange all the goods, then do the chores at hand
.... as much as 20 to 40 minutes or more will pass before I finally go to the PC and lay back onto the bed.
(usually forgetting somewhere the phone till it will ring - or I need for an SMS confirmation code, for instance)
I would have to rise and search - no matter how I feel
>>> that's the reason it's so useful for me to have it wireless on PC <<<<<
Even if it takes a long time I wouldn't probably even notice it,
if I'm not going straight to the PC, and in that case, I plug the cell in USB.
It's after that I may forget again, rise and search. So now I maniacally do Port's manually.
( unless I forget to do it the first time - start again from tiles zero )
I just came home and connected to scrcpy via adb over port 41703
(which I knew was the port from looking at the phone, but I WISH I could figure out that port from Windows!)
C:\> adb connect 192.168.0.2:41703 && scrcpy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then I ran the Microsoft port query command (which is as slow as a lazy dog), but at least portqry.exe listed that port as "listening"...
c:\app\network\portqry\portqry -n 192.168.0.2 -e 41703
Querying target system called:
192.168.0.2
Attempting to resolve IP address to a name...
Failed to resolve IP address to name

TCP port 41703 (unknown service): LISTENING

Of course, I cheated as I already knew the port was 41703 by looking at the phone by longpressing on the new Android 12 "Developer options Wireless debugging tile" (which saves a bunch of steps digging into Android Settings and then Developer options).
But assuming I didn't know the port, but only knew the range, this would work (but it's horribly slow).
c:\app\network\portqry\portqry -n 192.168.0.2 -r 41700:41705
TCP port 41700 (unknown service): NOT LISTENING
TCP port 41701 (unknown service): NOT LISTENING

TCP port 41703 (unknown service): LISTENING
TCP port 41704 (unknown service): NOT LISTENING
TCP port 41705 (unknown service): NOT LISTENING
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course, I cheated by giving the slow portqry command a small range, as it would have taken forever to give it the range of 30000 to 40000 which is, so far, the range that I've seen being used.
Hindsight is so 20/20 in that once you've cheated such that you know the "static" IP & "random" port that Android set the new Android 12 Developer options Wireless debugging to, many basic network commands will quickly tell you that specific IP address is being used.
This will instantly report the "static" IP address of the adb-connected phone on my Windows 10 PC:
C:\> adb shell "ifconfig|grep -A 1 wlan0|tail -n 1|cut -f2 -d:|cut -f1 -d' '"
192.168.0.2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And, more to the point, the basic networking commands can tell you the random port - if - for example - if you had connected to it using adb yesterday or a week ago and that random port assignment had not changed in the interim...
This will tell you the "static" IP address and the "random" port:
C:\> netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.0.2"
TCP 192.168.0.2:2392 192.168.0.2:41703 ESTABLISHED 1928
Note I left in the extraneous report of another port (2392) which was in use for reasons unknown to me...

What we need, of course, is a way to narrow down the range of ports that adb will use, which, to that end, I opened this thread about:
[adb,scrcpy,vysor] What ports does Android 12 randomly set when Wi-Fi connecting via Wireless debugging adb "pair" or "connect" commands?

That is strange indeed.
The reason it matters is that this brand new Android 12 Developer options Wireless debugging tile saves a LOT of time daily digging into the Android settings (because it takes you exactly where you need to be to find out what the current random port assignment is).
I guess we need a third person to test it as when I tap the new tile, it toggles from on to off and from off to on... but when I longpress it, I end up deep inside the Developer options Wireless debugging Activity (whether or not the tile was blue or white at the time that I longpressed it).
I even just now tested it for you with the Wi-Fi radio turned off, and again with the Wi-Fi radio turned on but with no access point being connected.
In summary, even though the Developer option for Wireless debugging won't work without BOTH the Wi-Fi radio being turned on AND the Wi-Fi being connected to an access point (mine being set to NOT auto-reconnect, for privacy reasons), longpressing on the Developer options Wireless debugging tile brought me, every time, to the Developer options Wireless debugging screen.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A32-5G, Android 12, non rooted.
Would someone else kindly test it for us to break the tie?

I love the way you think!
Here are the possible solutions (thanks to you):
1. Keep the random port assignment static between adb connections
Or...
2. Determine the current random port assignment from the PC
Or...
3. Manually set the port assignment from the PC!
(Which is much like we used to do in the days of USB cable connections (where we would set it to 5555 and then disconnect once we set it to that static port).
I love how you think as you're trying to solve the same problem we all have, but you're using more tools to do it as you think outside the box by using all the methods available.
I will have to try this on the PC on the MSDOS command line (which is outside of Bash as I don't have Linux inside of the PC set up yet).

I like how you think, which is that we "should" be able to set the port from WIndows that adb will connect to Android... but....
Remember all that "old" stuff predates Android 11 Developer options Wireless debugging (which is designed to use a random port assignment).
All that "old" stuff assumed a USB cable connection to the Android phone... which we aren't using....
... so what we have to do is figure out how to change that old stuff to get around the fact we can't talk to the phone unless we can figure out what port the phone is listening on...
This is the best I can do (but it's cheating)
a. Android has Wi-Fi turned on
c. Android has the Wi-Fi connected to an access point
d. Android has Developer options Wireless debugging = on
e. Which reports a static IP & random port of 192.168.0.2:41269
These commands ALWAYS work (but I had to cheat!)...
1. Win+R > cmd
2. adb kill-server
3. adb connect 192.168.0.2:41269
4. scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.0.2:41269
5. up pops the mirror of Android in the scrcpy GUI
While that works perfectly, the problem is that I have to KNOW the port before any of that works.
Hi,
as adb announces the service via MDNS, you can use the value of "persist.adb.wifi.guid" to connect.
output of avahi-discover under Ubuntu 20.04:
Code:
Service Type: _adb-tls-connect._tcp
Service Name: "value of persist.adb.wifi.guid"
Domain Name: local
Interface: eth0 IPv6

TXT v = ADB_SECURE_SERVICE_VERSION
Or you can use "adb mdns services" to show all found devices in the network, see https://source.android.com/devices/automotive/virtualization/tools

I don't know if I'm supposed to openly admit I have no clue what "mdns" even means, but I did use the "adb mdns services" command in post #3 above because I found it on the net when I had googled for how to tell which port adb is using.
C:\> netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr "192.168.0.2"
C:\> adb shell "ifconfig|grep -A 1 wlan0|tail -n 1|cut -f2 -d:|cut -f1 -d' '"
C:\> adb mdns services
C:\> nmap 192.168.0.2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The problem I had with using 'mdns' was that it sometimes gave me good port information and it sometimes did not (more often than not, it reported absolutely nothing useful) - yet - I haven't been able to figure out why - so I simply gave up on it a while ago.
Maybe I need to re-visit mdns because sometimes it gave what I wanted.
Googling, I find it's actually labeled mDNS, which now I only need to figure out what the "m" stands for since we're all familiar with DNS name-to-ipaddress lookups.
Googling some more, I find the "m" stands for "multicast" which still doesn't tell me a thing about what it is yet...
If you aren’t familiar, mDNS is a protocol defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the organization that oversees the technical standards that comprise the Internet. It stands for multicast domain name system, and it’s how hostnames are resolved on local networks without their own DNS server. The mDNS protocol is defined in full in the IETF’s RFC 6762 document, but the most relevant part is Section 5.1 – One-Shot Multicast DNS Queries, as it’s what Android’s DNS resolver implements.
Without getting too technical, mDNS basically makes it possible to connect to devices on a local network using human readable names, similar to how DNS makes it possible to connect to servers over the Internet using a human readable name.

What I'm guessing (at this point) is that Android will "announce" itself with a hostname of sorts using this "multicast DNS" protocol for the LAN, am I right?
Android, meanwhile, has offered support for mDNS service discovery since Android 4.1 Jelly Bean … but only for apps that implement the network service discovery (NSD) API. This means that Android users, for years now, haven’t been able to simply enter a hostname followed by .local into a web browser and have it be resolved to the IP address of a local device.

Now I see why you brought up "avahi" discover services...
Microsoft brought native support for mDNS to Windows with Windows 10 1703 in 2016, but prior to that, users could install Apple’s Bonjour Print Services tool to use the feature. Many Linux distros implement mDNS through the Avahi daemon. Apple, as the author of the protocol, of course has a native implementation in iOS and macOS.

If we can figure out the circumstances as shown below where mDNS are in service, then the "adb mdns services" command might actually be useful to us to determine the Android 12 random port assignment.
1. Start with Android 12 & desktop PC connected to the LAN
2. Turn on Android Developer options Wireless debugging
3. Query Android for the wireless debugging port
The problem to resolve is...
a. When adb hasn't been run, mdns doesn't report anything
b. Even with adb connected, often mdns doesn't report anything
Yet...
c. Sometimes mdns DOES report the port address we seek
Why?
Screenshot: Notice we've been using "adb mdns services" for a while now but it rarely reports anything at all, let alone the random port assignment (but sometimes it does!).

nor do I know enough on Linux that's the Android base.
( I'm still curious - but brain is not agile anymore to learn fast to my liking)

Yea, me too, where I worked in Silicon Valley startups for decades before retiring about 20 years ago...

Yup. I took Fortran (before there was a Fortran 77) on the IBM 1130 (as I recall) with tickertape just being phased out in favor of modern punch cards, and then moved on to PL/C (before there was a PL/1) and IBM Assembly Language and COBOL (which are just about the most divergent languages on the planet). Then the PDP 11, VAX/VMS, Masscomp, SunOS, Solaris, etc., until the PC grew up and I dropped all that 'nix stuff for Windows (and moved into management so I never did coding professionally - and I hate it - so I won't be doing it anytime soon).
But, like you, I do what I have to do in order to get the job done.

Yeah. I'm Aspergers. I don't get anybody's jokes. Not just yours. But everyone's. Ask my wife and kids and grandkids.
On this thread I'm just trying to do what I am sure can be done, which is:
a. Run a PC command that queries the Android phone on the LAN
b. To spit out the random port Wireless debugging is set to
c. WITHOUT having initially connected USING that port in the first place!
It may not even be possible (since Android developers may have made it impossible for security reasons perhaps).
But until I find out that it's impossible - I'm assuming it's possible.
1. Sometimes we don't know which commands to use, and,
2. Sometimes we don't have the command syntax just yet... and,
3. Sometimes it is impossible (but that's rare, is it not?)
We just have to figure out which commands/syntax give us that missing port information.

Hehehe !! A parallel story, I'm younger but beaten bad by life: at 66, I'm pretty locked in a bed from 2017.
Had to stop working in 2015, and finally got anticipated retirement in 2019.
Asperger too.
( oh, and I mean we are not brother for sure - but magnetic communication exists)
3) >>I proposed a closed command program continuously running in Android.
It was not a Joke!
But maybe we can reach the same result from PC,
if we can access telnet console on android

I do very much like how you think... as you don't give up when encountering a technical hurdle - and - better yet - and nearer to my heart and soul - you - like I - assume naturally there will be a solution.
Maybe there is... hmmmmmmmm......
Along the line of your "closed command program" running on Android, I am testing this option I just found out of the open source local android debug bridge (ladb APK) which is designed to run adb on the Android phone in order to mimic the PC.
I'm hoping I can get the PC to communicate with that free open source ladb app which is said to have more privileges than does Termix on Android.
is there any app like LADB which can command phone through my phone with wireless debugging android 12 .I don't have any pc and LADB price is too high to afford.
