Got mine, but isn't the CE logo printed incorrectly on the Chromecast? On the box it looks right, but it's not right on the device. THe letters are too close together.

Yes, that does indeed look like "China Export"..

In case someone doesn't know this about this, here's Conformité Européenne Wikipedia article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking

At the bottom of the page is some info regarding it's misuse along, among other things "China Export".
Here's the difference.

I'm pretty sure it says made in china right on it.

Of course it says, so did the original CC. Or actually the original said "assembled in" where as the 2nd gen says "made in".
But that's not the point, the "CE" mark on it is not the CE mark.
I took a look at my original Chromecast and it uses the proper CE mark which indicates it complies with EU legislation.

If you can't comprehend why that matters, I'd suggest looking at the meaning of it.

Honestly, it's not really of any interest to me. I was just pointing out something that wasn't stated in the thread (unless I overlooked it?). Has nothing to do with my ability to comprehend something...

Mine just arrived today, there's an update to begin with, spotify works fine

 

[mondenath]

can anyone confirm if the ac is connecting 1x1 or 2x2. i heard it was 2 antenna . also 3rd smart antenna. The max bit rate if ac router is connecting .

 

[chistery]

Mine's connected at 433Mbps if that's any help.

 

[lagittaja]

That's 1x1 on 80Mhz channel. Pretty much what I would expect given the info.

We designed an entirely new, adaptive antenna system. Which includes: three very efficient antennas, and an algorithm that ensures that the WiFi chip is always using the best antenna and radio frequency for the changing WiFi conditions in the home.
