Good product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't go wrong with this product. Easy to use and now I can stream anytime and watch it from my tv
I would recommend this to a friend Mostly fine but dropping from wi-fi sometimes
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine most of the time but it drops from wi-fi occasionally, which is extremely annoying. Lack of a reset button makes this more annoying. But overall I'm happy when it works. It seems this problem is not uncommon among chromecast users and I can 100% rule out my wi-fi problem. I also have a Google Home with the same issue. Compared to the frustration that Google Home caused me, this chromecast is okay. But I won't choose Google products in the future. I can't believe they don't have a better solution to this.

Posted .Hi smartleeshore,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that you're encountering some connection issues with your Chromecast.
Chromecast has a reset button beside the power adapter port. Please see this link for more info on how to reset the Chromecast: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654?hl=en
There are some factors that may affect Chromecast performance during casting. You can try these troubleshooting steps:
- Toggle Wi-Fi off/on your phone.
- Exit any battery-draining applications that are running on the background.
- Turn off power saving mode on your device.
- Decrease the distance between the TV, casting device (phone/tablet/computer), and Wi-Fi router. The distance should be less than 15-20 feet (5-6 meters) apart, ideally within the same room.
- Keep your phone’s operating system up to date.
- Unplug both the Chromecast and the router from the power outlet and leave it for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug it back in, and wait for it to completely reboot.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use it every day. Can connect my phone my apps and even my computer to my TV so easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend use at each tv
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are many apps compatible with the Chromecast and there will usually be a corresponding icon with the related apps to let you know that you can stream to the Chromecast. It does come with an AC adapter which is necessary to use if the HDMI port used doesn't power the Chromecast. (many don't) This isn't necessarily a problem unless the TV is far from an open outlet plug. You are also able to "assign" the Chromecast to the TV by giving it a particular name which is done during the setup process. This is helpful should you happen to get multiple devices of this kind.

Posted .Hi Momo, thanks for writing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Chromecast is less than ideal.
For connectivity issues, it may be related to both the limited bandwidth caused by a congestion of your network or a possible interference. We recommend trying out the following:
- Remove some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space and test if you will experience the same issue. Chromecast typically requires a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps. If you verify congestion, we suggest contacting your Internet service provider for resolution.
- Check for possible signal interference. Placing Chomecast in a direct line of sight to your router and away from other possible sources of interference like a refrigerator, microwave oven, etc. might improve signal reception.
If the issue still persists, we may need to take a closer look at your device. You can contact our support team anytime using this link: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp
