Excellent router even though it's a bit pricey. Plenty of options for the hardcore tinkerer but also simple to setup for a novice. Some settings don't seem to work as intended but the firmware is evolving so I'm sure those issues will be addressed. Overall, a great router that I am highly pleased with.

Seems to do the job and has a few neat features despite feeling somewhat flimsy.

Works great although it does reduce touch screen sensitivity somewhat. Would not use any other brand.

Does not charge as fast as it could and is a bit temperamental when using some phone cases but otherwise does the job.

For those expecting the same old from Marvel, you will be surprised. Good story, some action, lots of mystery, and great special effects.

Google - Chromecast - Black
Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
 

Can this connect to shared files on a network?

I have an external hard drive connected to my network, as well as files on my desktop i would like to play through the Chromecast. Can the device connect to these shared folders on the network to play these files?
The Chromecast device itself does not connect to the files on your local or network drives. You use an application to play media files that are located on your drives e.g. Windows media player, winamp, etc... on a Windows computer. Since those apps don't have native support for chromecast, you can't play media through them and have it go directly to the chromecast device. You have to do that via screen mirroring.

Take a look at the tutorials here, they should help you out: http://allaboutchromecast.com/chromecast-how-to-guide/how-to-use-chromecast-to-share-desktop-screen-and-audio-to-tv

Hope that helps
