CAD how are you using a chromecast at a tailgate? LSU wifi?


you'll need a cellephone with a dataplan or a friend running WiFi nearby already.

preferably verizen since they've pumped up the volume on data during gameday.

run the phone as a hotspot aka 'portable wifi access point'...there's tons of apps that do this.

login to chromecast using your phone's wifi hotspot SSID.

I see. I was hoping there was a way to do it that didn't require using the cellular device as a hotspot, because the trick was going to be suggested for a tailgate that isn't super tech savvy. Thanks anyway.
