Inexpensive Solution for Older Sound Bar

I purchased this because my older sound bar does not have Bluetooth connectivity. Instead of buying a new sound bar that has Bluetooth, I purchased this device. I like the fact that I can be further away from the device compared to using Bluetooth. I also like that I don't have to have my tv turned on to use this device (as I do with the Chromecast, version 2). I do have a minor issue with this device. The 3.5 mm port that I connect this device to my sound bar is a bit flimsy. If you jiggle the 3.5 mm cable at the plugin port on this device, you will hear some scratchy noise through the speaker when the music is playing. Other than that, it works well and I can use my phone, tablet, or computer as its own remote control.

I have been a long time user of SanDisk memory cards and USB flash drives. Like all of my other SanDisk purchases, this USB 3.0 flash drive does the job that it is supposed to and does it well. The price of this drive was great and it has huge amounts of storage. Fantastic product all around!

This is a replacement for a similar Canon PowerShot ELPH 330HS camera that I purchased several years ago but received some damage at the beach earlier this year (sand and salt water). Fortunately, I had purchased the 3 year Geek Squad protection plan and was able to pay a minor difference in price to receive this new model. It works well and I am very satisfied with it.

I purchased this to update my version 1 SoundLink Mini speaker cover. The black wasn't available when I purchased the speaker back in 2014. I am very pleased with the protection this product provides as well as the overall aesthetic look of it with my all grey colored speaker.

I have been using the original Chromecast (version 1) in my home on two TV's. I really have enjoyed using it but it does come with its issues such as a degraded picture quality and having on and off connection issues with the wireless router (strength and consistency). I upgraded to this version (version 2) so that I could utilize the 5 GHz bandwidth from my new router. This has helped the signal strength and the overall quality of the picture. I am very pleased with the updates from version 1 to version 2. The only drawback I have is that I preferred the smaller, and more slender footprint of the version 1 device, even with the HDMI extender being used. All in all, I am very satisfied.

I purchased this so that I could utilize the faster 5 GHz bandwidth on my new router. I have a top notch wireless and wired capable laser printer but it can only detect 2.4 GHz bandwidth wireless signals. Instead of paying another $500+ for a new printer, I purchased this product. I have a fairly new two story home (built in 2007) and all of the wiring works great with this. I can now utilize the 5 GHz bandwidth on my computer and print directly without having to switch back to the 2.4 GHz to print. The only negative is that this product will go into a sleep mode and will take a moment to wake up when you first start printing. It is not a big deal, but it is something to mention. Overall, this is a great product.

This router works great. I added this to my existing Gateway/All in One modem/router that I lease from my ISP and works very well. The speed and strength of the signal have dramatically increased. The price was decent and the local BB matched a major online retailer for the price.

How do I hook this up to a projection TV run through a Receiver?

I have all of my equipment (tv, cable dvr box, blu-ry, etc.) set up so all devices are run directly through my A/V receiver. All you need to do is plug the Chromecast device into an open HDMI in port on your receiver. Your projection tv should be hooked up to your receiver's output [HDMI or a combination of component video and digital audio out (coax or S/PDIF)]..
