From that point forward as long as you are also on that network (and can access the Chromecast across the network) you can control it. You plug in the credentials for the Wi-Fi network you want it to use, and it connects to that network. Upon first configuration, the Chromecast itself acts like a micro hotspot for the express purpose of you connecting to the Chromecast to configure it and tell it how to connect to a larger and more functional network. The basic setup of the Chromecast system is simple. How the Chromecast Works and Away-from-Home Networking Woes Not only is the Chromecast awesome and a great way to stream media, once you’re used to how convinient it is the cruddy content on basic cable (and the expense of paying for movies in hotels) becomes unbearable.Īnd if you are at a hotel that charges per-device, this can get all your devices online for the price of one, which is pretty handy. We fully understand your desire to take the Chromecast on the road. How can I get the Chromecast to work when I’m away from home and in a hotel room where I don’t have any control over the Wi-Fi network?
I figured you guys would have an idea or two and might be able to help me get this show on the road. I’ve taken it with me a few times but I’ve never managed to get it up and running. It seems really silly to pay $5 or more for a movie when I can (assuming I ever get it to work) just use my Chromecast and go crazy watching Netflix. The pay-per-view movies are still just as big of a rip off as they were twenty years ago and the variety is limited. I travel a lot for work, and I would really like to use my Chromecast when I’m on the road. Read on as we show you how to use the Chromecast in a hotel room.
If you’re headed to a hotel, however, there are plenty of pitfalls. If you’re headed to a friend’s house, you shouldn’t have any issues. If you’ve gotten a wee bit addicted to your Chromecast (and we hardly blame you, it’s a fantastic little device) you might want to take it on the road with you.
