Miracast also won't interrupt any regular WiFi connectivity on the casting device, so if internet access is needed, the casting device, eg the Max2, can remain connected to whatever WiFi it is registered on.
Right, but what about this set-up:
-- you have a main portable mobile Android device (phone) on which you configure a mobile hostspot. You activate it only when needed - it's four taps ("settings", "shortcut to network", "mobile hotspot", "on");
-- on your Max2 you have set that wireless access point - just enable it (potentially, one click);
-- on the Chromecast dongle, you have again set that wireless access point - enable it (I do not know exactly how it works, but).

The phone being connected to the Internet in some way, you should be set, if I have not missed anything.

Unfortunately I do not have a dongle to try it with.
