New Delhi: Google has announced a new accessory for its Chromecast that will drive away WiFi connectivity issues with the TV streaming stick.
The only way to use the Google Chromecast has been over a WiFi connection. However, streaming the content could be a pain if the connectivity is low or if the TV is out of range.
The new hardwired Ethernet adapter aims to address this issue. It plugs into the Chromecast’s USB port and other than providing power to the stick, it includes a full-sized Ethernet port, which simply means smoother connectivity, Ars Technica reports.
This little accessory is available on the Google Store for $15, and it supports up to 100Mbps.
Other than usual media content, you can now use Google Chromecast as a presentation device by pushing Google Slides documents, the Google Docs PowerPoint competitor, directly to a TV.
With Google’s plans to push Chromecast into the gaming field, the Ethernet adapter would prove beneficial.
Other than Google’s Ethernet adapter, you could possibly have your own solution with a specialized USB OTG cable and certain third-party Ethernet adapters.
