D.O., picture quality is top notch -- and I'm on ~5 Mbps which is considered slow enough by today's standards.
Have to say, Chromecast IMHO is a much better option than Amazon FireStick -- no need for Kodi and it's also cheaper ! All it tkes on chromecast is a tap of the particular icon on the screen of your phone or laptop.
Once Chromecast is "set-up" -- kinda "married" to your modem/router -- it is a breeze to work.
Maybe why you're having difficulty with the B-I-L's rig is that your phone or laptop has not been tethered to it. Could be also the age/vintage of the phone you are using. Chromecast, for instance, will only work with Samsung S4 and upwards. (The list of compatible phones is available on the chromecast website.
Sorry, I cannot advise re Apple devices; knowing nothing as I do about them.
