Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to use Connectify Hotspot to stream content from my iPhone to Chromecast. I use my mobile data as a hotspot quite a bit, but when I try to stream movies or mirror my screen to a Smart TV via Chromecast, I often face lag or connectivity drops. I’m curious if there are any tricks or settings in Connectify that can help stabilize the connection or reduce the lag. Has anyone managed to get a smooth streaming experience with this setup? I’d love to hear some tips or hidden tricks you guys have discovered!

I’ve actually been through the same issues when trying to mirror my iPhone screen to a Smart TV using Chromecast with Connectify Hotspot. One of the biggest challenges is making sure that both your iPhone and Chromecast are on the same hotspot network, which Connectify can handle well, but there are still other factors. A good screen mirroring app for iPhone to Smart TV can make a huge difference in reducing lag and providing a stable stream. I found a detailed guide that talks about different apps and settings you can use for this purpose. It goes over several options, and I personally found that apps like Reflector 4 and AirServer offer better performance because they’re designed to work well with Chromecast and handle network interruptions smoothly. Plus, they allow you to tweak the streaming quality, which helps when using mobile hotspots since bandwidth can be inconsistent. You might also want to adjust the settings in Connectify, like enabling the "Wi-Fi Repeater Mode," to boost the signal. Give it a try, and let me know how it goes!
