Indeed!

Sometimes with WiFi I see hiccups. But behind the TV set I have the ISP
supplied router which has 4 ethernet ports, all of them already in use.
Thus I test the Chromecast with WiFi, and someday I'll buy a switch and
put it there.

Already that place is an awful nest of cables, one box more is not
important. Gahhh!
