    I just had to do the same thing couple weeks ago. I picked up one of these, and it works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ECTHIKK/ref=ya_aw_oh_pii

    You mention you have a main network and a second network. Can you elaborate on how those are connected together?

    Post Chromecast : worst experience ever !

    I love my Chromecast. Prior to buying it, I had: - A Blu-Ray player with internet connectivity... with a slow, horrible interface, and poor streaming services support.... that also didn't stream from local devices. - An HDTV with no network support - A "media player" that didn't work with...

    Post Chromecast Connected but unable to access internet...

    That's not going to be of any use when the routers are connected LAN port to LAN port. DHCP handles that, and since the networks should be on the same broadcast segment, normal ARP discover handles the rest. Hyflex: DHCP Relay isn't going to be applicable either (since both routers should be...

    Post Chromecast Connected but unable to access internet...

    I might be getting lost with what you are trying, so let's just lay out the ground rules of what you must have configured to make a double wireless "router" network work: Both routers must be connected together via a LAN port on Router 1 to a LAN port on Router 2 Router 1 should be connected...

    Post Chromecast Connected but unable to access internet...

    Yes. My guess is that the DHCP server on the second router is serving up leases with the wrong gateway (.2). Leaving DHCP enabled on router 2 would allow all of your LAN devices to communicate with each other, but any device that gets the .2 gateway lease won't see the internet. You should only...

    Post Chromecast Connected but unable to access internet...

    Where do you have the ethernet connection from router 1 connected into router 2? If it's connected into the WAN port, the problem probably is that your WAN and LAN network interfaces both have the same subnet, which just plain won't work. Even if it did, your NAT firewall on router 2 would...

    Post Casting from phone with company VPN enabled issue

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the answer is that you can't. I believe the Chromecast discovery implementation assumes that your CC will be on the same network as your primary network interface. Many VPN clients re-prioritize their network interface to #1 when they...

    Post [MOD][KK][XPOSED] KitKat SD Card Full Access

    Worked great... once I fixed my SD card. I just wanted to say thanks for this add-on. It works great on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 with 4.4.2. I have to also reiterate what has been said here before: If this addon isn't working for you, you should try a different or reformatted SD card. I wasn't...

    Post Amazon App Store: Plex for Android $0.99US or $1.09CDN

    I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure you can blame the developer for that. Developers have to submit their apps to each "store", generally Apple, Google, and then Amazon. If they neglect to do so in a timely manner, you get outdated apps.

    Post Amazon App Store: Plex for Android $0.99US or $1.09CDN

    Thanks for the tip (button pushed)! I've been holding off (re-)buying Plex on Amazon until the price came down. I've gotten so used to only buying buying an app once on my Android/Play devices. The thought of buying an app again just for the one Amazon Android variant device in my home pisses...

    Post Question about 1080p Casting...

    The Chromecast is capable. As I write this, I am streaming Ender's Game in 1080p from Plex to my Chromecast. I have never had good results with AllCast however, and I'm guessing the case would be similar with other device-local content casting apps. My theory is that most Android devices aren't...

    Try the beta: https://plus.google.com/communities/112047643386078211133 It's currently 4.0.0.2, build date of 1/30/14, so maybe? I'd check myself, but I'm away from my CC.

    Are you using static IP's or DHCP on your lan interface? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

    Post Windows Chrome does not see dongle

    Check your network interface priority and ensure you are not running a VPN client. The interface on the same network as the Chromecast must be the highest-priority active interface. See: http://www.muchtall.com/2013/11/01/fix-for-chromecast-no-cast-devices-found/

    Yes: Hardware replacement. Sad, I know. Many here will claim that their special mix of voodoo will solve your problem, but I can almost guarantee you that your only real solution will be a replaced mainboard. Your symptoms sound identical to mine. Most likely the WiFi chipset transmitter has...

    Post Root?

    To more directly answer the question: No, a downgrade is not possible. Once updated, there is no mechanism on the CC to flash back to "stock ROM" like there is with most Android phone recoveries. Google probably didn't see the point in a stock recovery method: If a customer's Chromecast bricks...

    "Enable white Email background" not working on 4.3? Can anyone else confirm that the "Enable white Email background" dark background mod no longer works on 4.3? I unchecked it but I see no change after a reboot. I'm on a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 (SPH-L900) running MK4 (4.3).

    Post Interesting thing I discovered with Chromecast app and bluetoooth headset

    I noticed the same thing last weekend. I also noticed another oddity: Once I connected to the bluetooth headset, it wouldn't allow me to cast back to my Chromecast again. Each time I'd hit the cast icon, it would toggle between the speaker and the headset, but I couldn't seem to make it go to...

    Post One possible solution for "No Cast devices found."

    Agreed. It's definitely an oversight to assume that the primary interface on the PC is the interface in which the Chromecast resides. The probably ought be doing discovery on all interfaces.

    Thread One possible solution for "No Cast devices found."

    This weekend, while trying to cast a tab in Chrome, ran into the "No Cast devices found." issue that a number of people have complained about. Thankfully, I found a solution quickly and without much frustration. In my case, I had been running a VPN connection using OpenVPN on a windows TAP...

    Post Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

    It probably is a hardware issue, possibly triggered by some or even most custom ROMs. I had the exact same symptoms as you, and it all started after flashing Cyanogenmod. Nothing suggested here worked... and I mean nothing. I've tried it all, and tried it repeatedly. The issue probably is that...

    Post Has anyone else had a terrible experience thus far?

    Calls to mind the Anchorman quote: "60% of the time, it works every time." My first thought is that your AP restricts client-to-client communication, resulting in difficulty communicating between your phone and the Chromecast. However, that doesn't explain the NAT issue you had.

    Post using own AC

    I agree that this shouldn't be a concern. Most modern LEDs running at standard intensity 24/7/365 should last 8-11+ years. You should be asking yourself if you expect to still be using your Chromecast over a decade from now. Also: When was the last time you saw a consumer electronics device in...

    Post Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

    I used the 4.1.1 driver. Like I said, I flashed back to earlier ROMs without success. I also used non-stock drivers. I don't doubt that, in some cases, 4.1.2 hosed the wifi chipset on the GN2, but I think in a number of cases like mine, the hardware was irreparably damaged (due to perhaps a bad...

    Post Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

    How do you figure? I flashed back to a number of other ROMs (and therefore drivers) and never had any success with this. Now I have a new PBA running the exact same driver, and the problem is gone.

    Post Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

    Been meaning to get my status update posted for a couple weeks now, but life gets in the way. Got my phone back from Samsung. This time around that actually replaced the PBA (motherboard), and as one might expect when you effectively swap out the entire "phone", the WiFi now works correctly...

    Post Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

    Quick update. Got my phone back from Samsung after shipping it off for repair 2 weeks ago. Verdict? Still broken. No hardware appears to have been replaced (MAC address remains the same), and the firmware is still on MC2. Odd thing is, my phone's status now says the device is "modified", even...

    Post Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

    I personally think it depends upon the problem you are having. If the problem you have is that the signal level looks good on the phone, but when you connect the speed of the connection progressively drops OR you can't make a connection reliably, that's likely an issue with the WiFi radio on...
