HooToo can also be used to bridge or relay weak WiFi.

So can you connect to WiFi (versus wired as in the product description) with the HooToo, connect the Chromecast to the HooToo network and stream (bad form, slow bandwith, etc. aside)?
I think so. It sounds like you want to stream from public wifi through the Hootoo to the Chromecast. The Hootoo supports b/g/n wireless. I bought it to stream movies locally stored on my device.

Should also work with Roku. I don't own one. Also, many mobile devices can either directly connect to your TV or do so with an adapter.
