How to Change Your Chromecast to a New Wi Fi Network

Google’s Chromecast allows you to project virtually anything you’re watching on a device onto a larger display through your internet connection. Casting works great until you upgrade your router, which can make transferring your old device to a new connection a real pain. If you’re ready to change your Chromecast to a new Wi-Fi network, here’s how to do it!

THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!! I spent three days pulling my hair and frustrated trying to set up chromecast and it was not working. Today watched your video and it helped me get chromecast installed in 5 minutes.

[@AzaccaHops]

When it says “make sure you are on the same network” it doesn’t mean the household network. It means the Chromecast network. For example, in your WiFi network settings in your phone, select the Chromecast8756.

[@mlinger18]

My chrome cast is built in tv so it has no Wi-Fi code .. it all changed when we got new router

[@scarlettink2009]

Thank GOD you wrote this! I’ve been here for FOUR hours, it’s now 3:30am. I was one step away from slinging it out the window!! Thank you so much.

[@kinggamerking291]

My wifi network working and it says cannot connect to wifi?

[@chrisgilliland8544]

Thank you so much for writing this, big help

[@619Firoz]

I had the same issue and got a soultion.Disconnect wifi from both phone and chromecast. Restart phone, chromecast and wifi router. Now you can cast from the phone.

[@Seaflower1008]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been trying for 2 hours trying watching other channels!! Thank you so much!!!! I’ve done it in 5 mins!

Thank you so much. I didn’t realise you had to do a factory reset. Thanks so much, I’m now set up and ready to go.👍

[@scottcappelluti1552]

When I tap on the gear icon, I receive different options than what your video shows. My screen displays + add device, General, Features, Services and Communications. How do I get to the Forget wifi option?

[@jeneiciac1509]

Wheeeew! I’ve been sweating this for hours! I had to factory reset mine as it was being used elsewhere. But THANK YOU! have got it!

After I press the button to reset it,the instructions on screen tell me you download and open the Google home app on my phone to begin setup,I have the app,but when I open the app there is no clear way to connect.

[@leigh3006]

I see no screen that looks like that in my Google home. I can find the Chromecast in wifi settings but it says there is no internet access. We have followed all directions but get stuck in the wifi portion...any thoughts??

[@katy0860]

Thank you so much! Huge help!

[@GuidingTechCom]

Glad it helped!

[@Erick_Ouchterlony]

Thanks, helped a lot 🙏🙏🙏

[@Kit-se3zs]

My problem is, I just got a new modem but I _can't_ use the Google Home app to update my wifi network on Chromecast because my phone is incompatible with the current version of the app. Is there really no way to reconnect it _other_ than using the Google Home app? Through say my Google account on my desktop computer? If not, I won't be able to cast to my tv again until I get a new phone! 😡

[@gracemuyoma8460]

Thank you so much. ❤

[@Olga-ql2zp]

Thanks ❤

[@franciet99]

Thanks!!!!

[@isbjrn1155]

So much easier on my AppleTV. I simply connect it to a new WiFi without ANY setup, and use all my pre- installed streaming services. My Chromecast sometimes also fails when trying to connect to a new WiFi.

[@leahlauren1331]

Thanks

[@Mariposa3811]

I cant find that gear icon(device setting) on home app. So i cant make it forget its connected wifi network sad :(

[@fueledbycristina]

Sameeee 😩😩😩

[@AndelaVoliVas]

Same ;-;

[@tevitatalanoa9880]

All you need to do is uninstall the Home app then reinstall and follow the instructions. It worked for mines. It seems after resetting the Chromecast, uninstalling and and reinstalling Home app, you also need to know that the menu shown on this video will be different from your app due to updates.

[@mycoleco80]

[@incargeek]

Look for the “remove device” option in Google Home. Then you can re-connect to your device, and reconnect it to your wifi network just like the day your Chromecast was new.

[@lj2435]

Yeah it doesn’t work. I go to add device, select Google chrome cast from the menu of devices to search for, and search. It just brings me back to the menu to select a device to search for.

[@julienbarbier7478]

If chrome cast don’t pup up on your google home. juste make sure your BLUETOOTH is on.

[@FunnyJoshVideoz]

Skip to 0:39 to get straight to the point.

[@TRS80relic1]

Just bought a chromecast with reset button on the side

[@DrJangoR9]

I see nothing about wifi in Google home app..

[@Cavebobzilla]

Hey when I try to go to the settings thing for my Chrome cast and I says I need Wi-Fi

[@tevitatalanoa9880]

Uninstall home app and reinstall. Then just follow the instructions, trust me it'll work.

[@terrarian0918]

Then you should probably get some wifi

[@isbjrn1155]

Sometimes it works. Other times not 😣

[@galactips1798]

Gooo goo gagaga

[@DAVEMUGF]

Doesn’t help. Still stuck

[@saltysteven7138]

Skip to :30

[@Hime519]

OMG you did NOT say that the reset button is for FACTORY RESET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@simonbrooks399]

First time using google products and this is crap. The major drawback here is you have to factory reset your chromecast. So if I want to take this to a hotel and use it while traveling I have to factory reset every time

[@kawaiifun4kiddiesgames]

Did not work

[@dolwolfianphotography]

👍👍

[@Thecoolguy463]

Why does this take all of that…

Chromecast home app it’s a pain in the fcken ass , I can’t change wifi network ,
