I am not able to use it with chromecast. Anybody has help page or something that shows setting I need on router to be able to use it with chromecast.

My understanding is that this unit was built specifically for T-Mobile to be used in a service that is no longer available, T-Mobile VOIP (you can use the service until you opt out). It probably will not work with other service providers. Since the units are no longer produced, there is a market for your unit.

I don't know, let me start start there. But, you might want to check the firewall or port-forwarding settings. check also on the admin level (at the router's webpage) if the chromecast is even recognized. It's under "wireless", "security", and "MAC address". Something like that. See if you can see the MAC address for the Chrome device. Make sure it isn't blocked b/c of a MAC filter. Hope that helps

as long as your wireless device are able to pick up signal from your Linksys, you shouldn't have any problem linking your chromecast stick and up and running. check you tube for installation, that might help you further your inquiry

You can't. It only supports mirrorcast devices (Android and PCs) and it's barely working.

I returned it because it is very difficult to use. Buy Google Chromecast instead.

Using this as a web browser is painfully inadequate. I suggest buying Chromecast instead. It'a a dongle that lets you broadcast any webpage that you're viewing on Google Chrome onto your HDTV. Price is only $29.99 right now on Amazon. Works amazingly well!

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably. I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem. I hope this helps Harold

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure about finding the router's advanced settings since it was given to us by the phone company. There's no software or anything. I guess I could call Verizon for help if I can't find where to enter the PIN. I'll also give the unit some time to connect. Thanks for your input.

I was thinking about going with Chromecast. Decided to buy this instead. Chromecast has to be linked to another device I think right? Phone, tablet, computer. Chromecast I believe you can use certain apps on it right. In the description on amazon it even tells you that for Chromecast. What I like about this product. 1. It's basically a android tablet on your tv. All the apps that chromecast supports, I believe this does too, and a whole lot more. Not big on memory, but you can hook in a flash drive to use for memory purposes (I have a 64gb flash). It also supports browser app downloads (not market apps and other media) just like a phone or tablet would. Download google tv remote on your phone and you can control it with your phone after the initial set up of course. Or you can buy a mini usb mouse and keyboard dual which works too. Initial set up has to be by a mouse. You dont need a keyboard bc of onscreen keyboard. I've had it for a few days and it does exactly what I need it to. Only real downfalls I've noticed is that it gets extremely hot when used. Could cause harm if it overheats and there's no power off switch on it, so you have to unplug it to turn it off unless I missed something... But for me its been a really good device so far. Does a lot more than chromecast in my estimation, and cheaper.

This is happening with all applications, it happened to me recently with Crackle. It seems all of them are moving to support Chromecast only. This is too bad, the device is not perfect but I bought it 1.5 yrs ago and I consider these companies should support their products longer. May be someone will be able to crack this and give it a couple of more years of service.I just checked my GX1200V (Hisense Pulse), it runs Chrome without issue, my firmware version is 3.2 and the system says it is the latest. I suggest you check your firmware and update Chrome.

Apparently it doesn't. I've tried to connect Chromecast and to have the audio out a speaker. It didn't work.

I just received and installed a Nighthawk X6 last night for my home. All is working well, but should Smart Connect be enabled or disabled? It seems like a pretty simple question on what will work best. We have 4 smart TV's, 2-3 people in the house, watch Netflix and Amazon Prime on the Smart TV's and normal cell phone, computer and IPad connections. I will say that so far, this router seems to be working great, I am just wondering what settings to tweak or not to tweak.

Yes, it will work with a Chromecast. I also have an AppleTV and a Sony BluRay player connected without issue.

Don't have that problem at all. I personally made the purchase for the express reason to stream Netflix. I have the Chromecast and cable box connected to the HDMI via a splitter, Laptop connected to the VGA, blue ray connected to the RCA and all is well. I use this device now more than my LCD Tv and I'm extremely satisfied. Not one problem with everyday use and heavy usage on the weekends. 1 month thus far.

U can't really do anything w/ it. I gave it away becuase it refuses to downloaded even approved software and freezes and glitches out anytime your doing anything on it for more then a few minutes. I just bought it to use as a remote 4 chromecast and it cldnt even do that

I have an Apple TV but I do not have Chromecast. You cannot use the Tivo application on the iPad to connect with Apple TV.

This is an ADSL modem (wired) . It DOES NOT have wireless inside. You need buy a wireless router separately to use this with Chromecast.

I have it with centurylink, actually had it. I scrapped it and purchased a netgear. It was useless for me.

Agree. It is slow, I would say even antique. I haven't return it, but not using it at all. Google Chromecast is much better (if talking about streaming the video from Google Play).
