Chromecast 3Rd Gen Ethernet Adapter

Among several NUC's at home, I replaced a 5th gen NUC with this 13th gen model. It serves as a media center for my music and photo collection, hence the 1 TB SSD and 16 GB memory. For those unfamiliar with the Intel NUC product line, they are small (4x4), very quiet, well-engineered and supported by a three-year warranty. Over the years, I have installed dozens for customers and not a single one has failed so far. The performance is impressive. The clip that keeps the power cord from inadvertently being yanked out is a fairly recent and useful addition. Intel has excellent documentation (assembly instructions, product specs) that I recommend. During installation of Windows 11, neither the wired Ethernet nor the Wi-Fi adapter were recognized which required an Ethernet-to-USB adapter. Others may add the network drivers during installation. Installing the Intel Driver & Support Assistant gets the optimal BIOS, firmware and drivers in place. Now that Intel has sold the NUC line to Asus, I hope that they will continue the development and support of this great product.

This works just like the regular chromecast, but you can (optionally) plug in a wired ethernet, reducing the load on your wifi and improving its reliability.� In addition it's noticeably snappier.� I guess it has a faster processor. Not sure if it's really worth the extra cost...the regular chromecast does everything I really need...but this is a little better than the regular chromecast.

I had the first gen lens, so this 3rd gen lens is a huge improvement.

It's incredibly easy and fast to use. And this version has 4k 60fps support (tested with Youtube, it's amazing) and has an ethernet port in the charger (which then forwards to to the chromecast through the micro USB plug). Only thing is: you cannot use the USB port on your TV to power the chromecast if you want ethernet. You have to use the charger for that, which takes up yet another power socket.

I have a first-gen Chromecast, and comparing to that one, the Chromecast Ultra is definitely much faster. One minor issue is that you have to use the USB charger in the box. Use other power supply won't give you the 4K output (a warning message will be shown on TV).

I was so pleased with the standard Chromecast (2nd gen) that I bought the Ultra version for use with my 4K TV. One thing I was surprised to learn was I was able to broadcast the entire desktop and not just what was under the Chrome browser. I relegated the 2nd gen to use at our astronomy club and ue it for demonstrations. Very effective.

Not much to say, it's a USB to Ethernet adapter. Works exactly like you would want it to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charging adapter is amazing tool to have with you when you need an ethernet connection. The USB-C to Ethernet + Charging adapter charges your connected device while also providing an ethernet connection, so no need for multiple connectors. I have been using this on my Android phone and my laptop, both devices have a USB-C port and my Belkin adapter worked great on both devices. It provided an adequate charge and a stable internet connection without any issues. The adapter was immediately recognized by both devices and there was no need to install any software to make the adapter work. The adapter is also small and portable enough to carry with you anywhere you go. I would highly recommend this adapter to anyone looking for an ethernet + charging adapter.

We used this cable along with an adapter to split a Chromecast stream to two TVs about 30' apart in a restaurant setting. There were no connection issues, and the image quality on each TV is very good.

works great, does not heat up as much as other ethernet adapter I've had.
