Phenomenal router

This router is fantastic. It has amazing reach through my home, speeds are maintained even at over 100 feet away from the router, and the simplicity of management is quite nice. I'm a fan.

Works quite well, minor hiccups

If you're buying just the one Chromecast Audio, they're amazing. It's wonderful and works really well.
I have a few, and am working on using them to create a Whole Home Audio experience. They work ... mostly. It's not terrible -- it's pretty good, even -- but it's not great. It's not as smooth as, say, a Sonos setup, but it's a fraction of the price.
I'm a fan.

Really solid, would have liked more new content

As far as I can tell, and other reviews bear this out as well, this is the same release from a few years ago. I didn't pick that up, so I'm happy to have it, but it would have been nice to get some extra stuff, especially considering it was a re-release to push Episode VII.

Excellent streaming device

Verified Purchase:Yes
My Chromecast is one of my favorite pieces of technology. I've started purchasing media via Google in order to better use it. The fact that I can stream from dozens of applications directly to the Chromecast, including using Chrome to Google Cast a browser tab, is the best.
There are one or two apps that are not streamable, but that's only because those apps haven't gotten around to it yet. Hopefully they do soon.

No, this is a router only.

Take important files with you easily with this Seagate Expansion STEA2000400 hard drive, which offers 2TB of storage and a portable design. Automatic back-up software ensures your files are safe, and plug-and-play operation provides ease of use.
 

Mini/micro USB compatable?

I have a small Windows 8 PC that only has a miniUSB port (no standard size one). Will this drive work using a USB to miniUSB adapter?
It will likely work but it's unlikely that you'll retain USB3 speeds, I'd think. I'm not an expert, though.
