Google Chromecast Ethernet Adapter Review

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.

[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.

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.

Chromecast devices are simply awesome.� If you are a streaming household, it is so much faster to look things up on your mobile device and press the cast button in the app and put it on the screen.� I can't tell you how many times I tell my wife, "Hey, check out this YouTube video." and then throw it up on the screen in a few seconds.� All the naysayers that thing looking up content on your phone is stupid and can't believe the phone is your remote control just flat out don't get it.� I have Android TV and a Roku television.� I like set top boxes.� But it is MUCH faster to get content on my tv using a mobile device and casting then using a remote control with a set top box.� Also, the voice integration to start up a movie on say Netflix or a song on Google Play Music with my voice via my Google Home is just awesome.� I have the Ultra hooked up to my Roku 4K TV even because we rent or buy Google Play Movies and you can watch them in 4K with the Chromecast Ultra but not with Roku.

I use this in combination of the iOS phone and Google Home app. I have a PLEX server set up to cast movies. I also am able to cast Showtime via Google Home to watch Homeland on Chromecast Ultra. It is faster to process the movie and no lag or synchronization problems because of the ethernet cable. Recommended if you have Plex or just use Google Chrome to watch shows a lot. If you have a TV that is CEC compatible and enabled, you can launch Google Home from the iPhone and it will automatically start both Chromecast Ultra and your TV with just the app.

Purchased the D1 to improve the sound of Google Chromecast audio "puck" - connected them together with a Google short fiber cable. Well worth the price of the D1 because Spotify now sounds musical.

Using this to have a newer 4K Chromecast with Google TV and a DVD player so I can run just one HDMI cable to my ceiling-mounted projector. Works great! Switches automatically, and I like that I don't have to plug it into power or fuss with anything.

I purchased the Chromecast Ultra as a companion to my Google Home. The Chromecast is attached to my AV receiver which allows me to cast audio and video commands via voice command to my AV system. The device works exactly as promised so I am quite please with it. Only difficulty was in figuring out how to send the commands from the Google Home to it. That was resolved via a very quick support call with Google (Hey Google, play song title on Spotify on Chromecast).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W complimentary from Belkin and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W has been a huge game changer when it comes to my Teams meetings/video calls. In the past, I was missing out on critical information because of the internet lag, and calls were being dropping due to my internet's speed. With the Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W plug-and-play adapter, I no longer have a lag or have to worry with those calls dropping off. The adapter keeps my computer charged and my connection completely sound while I'm hardwired. So far, I'm pleased that the adapter hasn't overheated and has stayed cool to touch. The adapter is both small and portable, and works with most USB-C compatible devices. The Belkin USB-C to Ethernet + Charge Adapter 100W provides an Ethernet port, charger, and a nice boost of internet speed, all in one device, at great price. In my opinion, you can't go wrong!

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