Regarding the Tronsmart, everything I've read about Miracast indicates that it is very iffy to get it to work regardless of manufacturer because of all the variations allowed.
I haven't experienced that for myself but can attest to the fact that getting Chromecast going was very easy.

Just got a Chromecast app update that enables Google's new "Guest Mode"... it purports to let others cast to your screen without using a wi-fi network...

Could this be the local media solution for hotel rooms many of us have been waiting for?

Just a PSA, cause a bunch of folks may be getting a Chromecast for the holidays or you find Google's help page difficult to navigate...

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this.
I purchased a TP-Link Router, the TL-WR710N because I had read that people had luck using it in a hotel to get around the "click through" screen that hotels make you log in with and getting their Chromecast to work.
However, I have followed the directions of putting the router in WISP mode but I can never get it to work.
Can someone help me out with a VERY basic, step by step guide of how to do this? I've searched and searched and the best instructions I found were on Amazon's product reviews, but I still can't get it to work.
I am using a Mac if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated!
