Security Note: When configuring Chromecast, it will ask if you want to turn Guest Mode on or off. You should keep Guest Mode turned off to prevent customers from casting their devices. When Guest Mode is off, only devices connected to the same wi-fi network can cast. Therefore, you also want to make sure that your wi-fi is password protected. Do not use an open network.
