    Took this to my son overseas, he loved it. Said this makes it so easy to share pics from his phone or computer and to stream movies.

    The installation was stupidly simple. I love it! I use it with Netflix usually and I even bought a few more for my folks back home.

    This is the best $35 I have spent. I allow me to stream my movies from my Plex server using the Android app or casting from Chrome.

    This is essentially a wireless HDMI cable. It uses wifi. You need enabled apps for it to work. Most usually, you can cast from Chrome, but sometimes this is a mixed bag. My cable provider, for instance, has a crummy web interface, so casting from that site in Chrome can be painful. A chrome cast enabled app from my cable provider would help this.

    I would recommend getting this if you are a hugh fan of youTube or Netflix. But beyond that, I don't really see a need for it. Works flawlessly out of the box. Heard you have to use pc to set up, but I just connected to tv and my wifi and everything was onscreen set up with no pc required.

    For the price this is the casting device to get! It installs easily and is very discreet (it plugs into an HDMI port in the back of your HDTV)! Set up was easy. If you have a strong WiFi signal you should have no problems streaming HD videos. I love that I can control everything through my phone, tablet or computer! Lots of great apps to use with this device. More added all the time! The best app has to be AllCast! Download that app and you can stream almost anything on your phone! I highly recommend this product!

    I could not test this as it would not connect to my at&t router. I have a fairly new router, so I was surprised to find it was not on the list of connectable routers. I did not know this would only stream with a limited number of routers. If you are interested in trying this, I would compare your router to the list it will connect to before purchasing.

    Very hard to get connected to and linked with device. Each time I plug it into a new TV, I end up having to call Google Tech support to get it linked to my Chromecast on my phone. Drains my phone battery. Have to have my phone plugged into the charger if I want to use it. Would recommend Amazon Fire or Roku with remote over Chromecast.
