I had to buy a new router before the streaming media player started to work. Too slow.  Not Google's fault.  The product itself and the documentation are as good as it gets.  I already  had Roku which can deliver more media choices, but the Google Chromecast concept of streaming whatever you have on your Chrome home page is simpler and will soon have more media.  I miss the possibility of Amazon streaming, but if I want it bad enough, I use Roku.Easy as pie to install and works exactly as advertised.  You won't get the free NetFlix promotion because "He who hesitates pays more", but I, as an earliest adopter, payed a net of less than $10 for this useful and cute gadget. 

Question: Is this thing hard to handle?
