We have a HD LCD TV with HDMI ports on it. It's not a smart TV. We purchased google chromecast and plugged it into the HDMI port on the TV. We have an AT&T router for wired and wireless internet connection. Our desktop computer runs win 7 and has the chromecast app installed. When I tried to run it, it said wifi was not connected. That's because our computer was connected to the router with an ethernet cable. So I found out I need a wireless USB adapter to plug into the computer to make it connect to the wifi signal. So my dad went to best buy to purhcase a Netgear N300 wireless N USB adapter. But the guy at best buy said this would not allow us to watch movies on the TV from the computer being connected to a web page with google chrome browser playing a movie. The guy at best buy said our router is not powerful enough for it. The movie is not from netflix or hulu. It's not being downloaded either. I just want to play a movie in the browser and watch it on the TV. Was I told wrong by the guy at Best Buy or is this not possible the way I have described it?
By the way, my uncle has a TV which did not come as a smart TV. But he made it a smart TV by buying some device which enabled it to be a smart TV. He has the same router I have and he watches netflix and youtube wirelessly to his TV.
