Two Google Chromecasts, two tablets....

[Lexa007]

Ok I have a question...I have two kids, two tablets in two separate bedrooms. If I get 2 Google Chromecasts, will they work at the same time?
I would think using both at the same time on same home network (if it works) would also clog browsing the internet???

Thanks!

Yes, you can have one in every room of the house on the same network and different devices can communicate with them separately. Your router should be smart enough to dynamically allocate bandwidth to each one as needed, but some things like netflix can take a lot and you could see slow downs, depending on your total speed, wireless strength, etc.

It will work but how much of your internet connection they would use simultaneously depends on your ISP connection speed.

A different kind of question. I have Ipad mini I am now using on Chromecast and it works fine. I am looking to buy Nexus 7 (2013 model) so I can cast web pages to My HDTV. Can I use both of these devices on My current Chromecast dongle?

Unless I missed an announcement the Nexus 7 cannot cast web pages. RIght now browser casting is limited to PCs/Macs. This MAY change when the SDK is released. However I would hate to see you spend the money on a N7 only to discover the feature you are purchasing it for does not yet exist.
