The Google Chromecast currently relies on being connected to a wireless network. This is fine if you have no issues trying to get a wireless signal in your living room, but if you have a separate room for watching your TV in, like in the basement, or maybe even in your own room, then that’s where the wireless signal may falter.
Thankfully Google has the answer to that problem. The company has recently released a wired adapter for the Chromecast. Basically this is a little brick with an Ethernet port so that you will be able to directly plug your modem into the adapter, and the adapter will then connect to your Chromecast via a cable, thus ensuring that it will have a decent and stable connection for you to stream your content on.
It is a pretty simple setup but it seems to be good enough to get the job done. It is priced at $15 which we suppose is a decent price to pay, although the bad news is that either Google did not stock up on enough units or the demand was too great because it looks like the adapter is currently out of stock. We expect that Google will eventually make it available again, so you might want to bookmark its product page and check back later for availability.
