after a quick setup you can easily queue up Netflix and
YouTube on the big screen from a phone

Chrome on your Mac, PC or Chromebook, you can stream a

• Chromecast certainly fixes the out‐of‐reach hardware issue by selling
for a rock‐bottom price. If you can plug an HDMI cable into a
television, you can use Chromecast.
• The Google Chromecast is a dirt‐cheap wireless video dongle that
streams Netflix and YouTube to your TV using Android or IOS tablets
as remotes. Its small size hides neatly behind your TV and makes it
easy to take on‐the‐go.

5. Chromecast is not an USB flash drive:
• At first glance, Chromecast could be mistaken for a USB flash drive..
• For those participants, it was very hard to understand that Chromecast
worked wirelessly and even though it “connects” to laptops and mobile
devices, it did not need to be physically connected to those devices.
• mediating this misconception.
To set up your Chromecast you'll need:
• A display device with an HDMI input, for example, a high-definition
television (HDTV)
• Access to an available power outlet or an available (non-service) USB port
on your HDMI-enabled display
• Access to a secure wireless network (make sure you have the wireless
network password handy)
• Connection to a 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi network
• A compatible Android or IOS Smartphone or tablet, or Mac, Windows or
Chromebook computer

8. CHROMECAST DEPLOYMENT
1.Problem statement: The multicast address used by the Chromecast
discovery packets has a TTL (Time To Live) set to 1. Routers cannot use
multicast routing to redirect traffic across L2 subnets because this results in
only link local discovery of Chromecast.

9. Wi-Fi Considerations
Chromecast devices have a single radio and work on the 2.4 GHz band. So, it is needed to
make sure the SSID that the Chromecast device is connected to is broadcasted on the 11b
radio.
Firewall Considerations
Chromecast discovery packets rely on the DIAL protocol operating at UDP port 1900 and send
the requests to the address 239.255.255.250.
