I hold a bachelor\u2019s degree in information systems, and I\u2019m a certified network specialist. I worked for several internet providers in LA, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Seattle over the past 21 years. I worked as a customer service operator, field technician, network engineer, and network specialist. During my career in networking, I\u2019ve come across numerous modems, gateways, routers, and other networking hardware. I\u2019ve installed network equipment, fixed it, designed and administrated networks, etc. Networking is my passion, and I'm eager to share everything I know with you. On this website, you can read my modem and router reviews, as well as various how-to guides designed to help you solve your network problems. I want to liberate you from the fear that most users feel when they have to deal with modem and router settings. My favorite free-time activities are gaming, movie-watching, and cooking. I also enjoy fishing, although I\u2019m not good at it. What I\u2019m good at is annoying David when we are fishing together. Apparently, you\u2019re not supposed to talk or laugh while fishing \u2013 it scares the fishes.","url":"https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/author\/brsckvn\/"}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi.jpg",1366,768,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi-1024x576.jpg",1024,576,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi.jpg",1366,768,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi.jpg",1366,768,false],"yarpp-thumbnail":["https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/How-to-Connect-Chromecast-to-Wi-Fi.jpg",120,67,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Jeremy Clifford","author_link":"https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/author\/brsckvn\/"},"uagb_comment_info":2,"uagb_excerpt":"Since the announcement of the Google Chromecast dongle back in 2013, life has never been the same.
