The vast majority of people only a 2.4Ghz router and most 5 Ghz routers are Dual band. Also, 2.4Ghz band has greater range than 5 Ghz. Chromecast is only $35 and if they had 5 Ghz supported it would require more expense hardware and would have to pay the license fee for the upper 5 Ghz band. Chromecast just extended the life of my dumb 2007 HDTV another couple of years till I buy a smart TV that has all the same features.

I'm not too sure about the Chromecast device yet and I think it might have a few too many bugs at the moment. Might want to look into a Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a couple friends running with the Pi and so far they say it works great!

How can I find out more regarding how your friends are using the Pi?
