What the Hell is AnyCast?
What is AnyCast?
AnyCast is the cheaper (and ripped off) version of Google’s Chromecast. It is, essentially, a small device you plug into your TV that creates its own WiFi signal, which you can connect to with your phone/laptop and mirror the screens via Airplay or the Android equivalent. Sounds awesome right? Well, IT IS.
Where To Buy It?
Taobao, obviously. Just like where you buy everything else you’ve ever needed. Don’t be foolish. Type in EzCast, AnyCast, or Mirascreen and you’ll definitely see this version towards the top. Of course, feel free to go through and select your favorite, or scour the Chinese-reviews yourself.
How to Setup?
Once your device is delivered, rip open the box and plug it into the TV & a power outlet. Connect to the WiFi name that pops up on your TV screen with the password.
Once connected, you want to type in the IP address the center of TV screen, starting with: http:// ……
Connecting Your Internet
Once to this screen, you're almost done. All you gotta do is click on “Internet” and choose your home’s WiFi, type in the password, and wait for everything to link up. This way you’ll be able to connect to the “MiraScreen” or whatever WiFi name your device has, while also still browsing the web and streaming Game of Thrones. Enjoy!
