If you only use WiFi connection, then it's easy and you probably don't notice a very confusing limitation. This is why I only gave it a 3-star rating. I generally prefer using hard-wired ethernet whenever possible: simple plug-and-play (no passcode), secured (only use physical connection), and...

Finally the ability to cast 4K content! The best Chromecast performance yet. Google Home integration is awesome. The Chromecast can be controlled by any smart device connected to the same WiFi network (even iPhone and iPad) and is incredibly easy to use.

Think its a bit expersive for what it does, but it does do a good job. Not at all impressed that it doesn't just stream Netflix from my devices but tries to content check it against my router IP. Means I need a VPN on my router for extended content to play. But otherwise its simple and effective.

Easy to set up and use. Does exactly as promised. Darn site less expensive than a new TV with all the apps!

This chromecast is so simple and effective. No problems with installing or watching. Great buy :)

Had been using the Chromecast 2 for a year or so on a 4K TV. Didn't really miss 4K until this came out! Awesome being able to plug straight into a router too, just to play around less with Wireless noise.

Great buy and super fast delivery as always

All good as usual from the Ape :-)

No need to use many remotes to manage home. Entertainment, just the chromecast and phone. Useful to play music as well as visual media.

The Chromecast is an incredibly neat little gadget that allows you to watch almost all of your favourite steaming and catch-up services. It’s incredibly simple to use, clutter-free and comes with a bargain price tag The omission of Amazon Prime Video is exasperating but inevitable so we can’t really fault Google for that. The lack of a physical remote control will also be divisive. While using your smartphone as a remote is a slick experience, it’s no good if your phone’s battery is dead or you want to have it sitting on your charger while you relax in front of the TV. If you’ve already got the 2nd-gen Chromecast there’s little point in upgrading to the new model. But if you’re a Chromecast rookie or you’re still using the original model, then it’s 30 quid well spent.
