FINAL UPDATE: I've found that it consistently works if I keep the TV unplugged. May not be an option for all of you, and no idea why it works this way...may even be totally unrelated. I dunno. But I've found that if I leave the TV unplugged (the Chromecast is plugged into and powered by the TV), when I want to use it, I can plug the TV in and it will work. Something to think about. ------------ So, last night, I brought it in the house again, plugged it into the TV, reset it and set it up again. No clue why...but...yea...now it works... If you're having this problem, try it on a different TV, I guess. Who knows...lol UPDATE: It stopped wording again. I think it's defective.
Its a big problem while setting it up. My chromecast sets up randomly and then goes digitally invisible. After some days it got connectef again but dint took even a week to lose connection.
Alright I have the same problem. So what I found is the router does not support Chromecast ultra idkw but I directly put a Ethernet into the Chromecast ultra after factory reseting it and all worked even got my stadia controller connected finally.
What worked for me is to disable the "IP & MAC Binding", that totally makes no sense! I use a TP-LINK Archer VR900 V3 an some more APs spread among the house and even I had correct WiFi connection, internet access was failing, thus not being able to complete the setup. May be that helps others like @Rosana, where even the new gen device had the same issue.
I have same issue about not able to connect the Chromecast. I have 5 chromecast in my building and I thought it is because my phone is old, then I brought a newer phone, problem happened but not on daily basic. One day, both phones not able to connect that one particular TV and I tried to use the tablet, it just get the connection right away same time, same wifi and same location. Strange !
Thanks so much for this video. I had exactly the same issue and went and bought another Chromecast. It was the router! I had reset it before and hadn't worked. This time I kept it off for 30 minutes and now all is working fine. Thanks again
I found out it’s a WiFi issue I recently switched to spectrum and it would not work at all on spectrum WiFi I also have at&t and I plugged my at&t router back up and reset on to my at&t WiFi network and it works just fine like it was never anything wrong so if you have spectrum and it’s not working that’s why...hope this helps someone!
I have spectrum also & my Chromecast is not working either, smh. I wonder if it's something they're doing on purpose 🤔❓idk, but it's frustrating. It worked with frontier.
HI, I recently had the exact same problems. I called Google Support and they confirmed 2 of Spectrums default routers are not compatible with Chromecast (specifically RAC2V1A and RAC2V1K). He said if you can get other router besides those, then it should work. I exchanged my router yesterday and it works perfectly now. Reposting this to help anyone with Spectrum. GOOD LUCK!
I realize this is three yrs old now, but I was just having the same issue for three days. I finally figured out why and how to fix it. For my self all I did was hit the settings in the app, scrolled down to the bottom, there is a delete button, I continued to delete all that was set up to the chrome cast, and started all over again. 🤷 And vola all set up!!!
I think I went over these same steps one hundred times each. I'm so pissed off. I had 1st generation chromecast and then thought it was giving me issues because its old so I bought the 3rd generation and still the same thing. Ugh! I'm so frustrated, I did all the troubleshoot steps and still nothing.
It happens to me when I use Spectrum Router. Apparently Spectrum is blocking Chromecast with theirs routers. I changed my router to a Lynkis and it is working well now
Really?! I'm so pissed off. I had 1st generation chromecast and then thought it was giving me issues because its old so I bought the 3rd generation and still the same thing. Ugh! I'm so frustrated, I did all the troubleshoot steps and still nothing.
I bought the google nest router and y’all... I haven’t had any problems like at all. Everything connects and streams like spreading butter 🧈 I suggest y’all get a new router! Unless you in ow to configure a network..
Lelo M lately my chromecast has been rebooting on its own during streaming. It’s been happening now for several weeks now. I’ve had mine for a couple years so I’ve decided to just purchase an new one which is coming in a few days. I had the 1st generation so I’m getting the slight expensive Chromecast Ultra. When it arrives I will test it out and come back and let you guys know how I got on. I’m hoping it’s not a global problem with all chromecasts at this point, so fingers crossed.
Lelo M Hi I’m back. It’s been 3 weeks since I received my Google Chrome Ultra and I can say it’s 100% better than my old device. It streams and plays very fast. I’m very pleased with it I can’t complain 😁
@@candeelicous You're doubt is right.. It's a global problem...Am annoying with the same issue with 2nh gen Chromecast...(since last 10 hrs) ...From India.
I have three Chromecast, two that work wonderfully but the one I bought for my mom has disconnected since day one. I'm going to try switching them and see if her TV is may be causing a problem because it is quite outdated. I'll check back in
I must have tired 10 times factory formatting it..but nothing happen..then I tired rebooting wifi and factory reset Chromecast and it work..little a miracle..cheers

so we have a new spectrum wi-fi router and its my primary suspect. do you guys also have spectrum? what router are you all using? I've got the wave 2 router from spectrum.
I had a chromecast that had issues for a while. would never show up on my phone as a castable device. I decided to reset it, and god things got even worse. I get the setup screen, yet now on my phone, the device doesn't show. I want to crush this damned thing so badly.
Omg thank God finally I found a solution to this shit, I literally spent probably 3-4 days over the past couple months trying everything under the sun, I only have 3 phones I use to cast and use hotspot from, only 2 of them have service my s21 and 22 ultras and my s8+ I use to actually cast from and use my s22 for hotspot because I use my s21 mostly because it has my main number on it and I only have an s22 because my ex fiancee stole the s21 I got her when she cheated on me and put it in a kiosk for 200 bucks and pawned the 2000 dollar ring for, you guessed it 200 bucks, but smartly shut the line down for the 6 months att allows until after the s22 came, and then paid the 225 for a replacement and bam a brand new s22, and due to the 250 I have asurion att put it toward the payoff and now I'm over 500 bucks so I have an upgrade already and I didn't get my original phones until June or July so I might get a fold 4, so I went from an s21 to an s22, and maybe to a fold 4 in less than a year, only paying like 600 dollars on my installment by the time the fold is out, actually less than 600, anyway nobody cares just the only good thing that's happened to me in forever until this week got a new job, 3 dollars more and hour and now I might have my chromecast back, although I'm about to buy a Google TV anyway, still on 2nd gen, I know, he'll I had an s8+ until last year, I just couldn't bring myself to switch, I still like that phone's formatter better than any phone ever, curved screens, and not so big you constantly drop it and constantly unintentional touches especially on the s22 ultra the s21 not so bad, but omg the drops, on my second screen on the s21, I can't use screen protectors, they are impossible to install perfectly to where it doesn't constantly trigger fuck my ocd,, also the feel and touch sensitivity is just unbearable for me. Ok going to fix mah 2nd gen now, God willing, and by God I mean out overlords Google and Samsung .
When mine went bad it would just stop casting for no reason and after I talk with my brother in law and he's a computer genius literally he actually builds his own computers but anyway everything electronic goes bad and when I touched the Chromecast it was burning up! So I put a fan on it to keep it cool and it worked great until my new one arrived
Latest : solved the issue. 1)Disabled all vpn settings in my router 2) in LAN IGPM proxy is disabled After that it solved Am stuck with the same issue. I got 2 Chromecast devices and both are having the same issue. I tried connecting this device in my neighbours home and everything works absolutely fine there. So am not sure what's the problem with the Chromecast to connect to my home network. It's a 2.4 Ghz Freq which is used for this connection as requested. Someone please help me in solving this
I've never seen that! Strange! Maybe contact Google support or switch up your Chromecasts? Hope you had a great Xmas, hope you get this problem sorted, kind regards as ALWAYS Richard U.K
As others have said regarding the Unifi setup (mdns on, auto optimisation off) sometimes I find with mine giving it a kick from the controller allows it to re-establish a connection and then it works. G'day from Australia
I've had this thing for 5 hours and I already had it not connect to the TV when I turned it on and once I finally got it connected the whole remote didn't work. If this happens again tomorrow I'm bringing it back.
My living room Chromecast won't connect to the corresponding TV and it's a nest router too grrr!!! Never had a problem when I was using my super hub 3. But then I don't have the range throughout the property, of course. I can't win. Damn you Google not connecting between own devices!!!
Yea, I really think mine is defective. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...USUALLY it doesn't. But, I can take the bedroom Chromecast out there and it works perfect. Maybe yours is defective, too.
This is bu far the ONLY way I found out why it wasn’t working. My router was the problem. I used a personal hotspot to connect both the chromecast device and an ipad for this instance which were both connected to my phone’s personal hotspot.
with personal hotspot works all the time, but i want to save data and money so i Hook it up to the house router for the first time but the app on my phone is having trouble trying to find the deanm thing. the app give me and error message that says: router AP isolation is not allowing to connect to my phone.
It stopped working again after the pinned post. I ended up contacting Google and, after the setup process, they had me turn everything off, plug it in then turn the tv on and it worked. No idea why, or if that would be a permanent fix, but hey...give it a shot. Factory reset, reboot everything, set it up, unplug it, turn tv off, wait 30sec, plug it back in, turn tv on.
@@rmp5s hahha.. ive done a lot of search in the internet. It was fixed a few minutes ago just by turning off and on my modem and router and voula its working now.
It depends on the chromecast you have, on mine there's a button in the circle thingy of the chromecast, you just need to hold the button until it resets the connection, open the google home app and follow the steps thoroughly. Hope it helps
Awesome!! I got a new sub yesterday, too. The backbone is starting to get a bit stressed at times...going to hold off on expansion until I can get on the tower and get some real throughput. SOON!
i have the exact same issue. my pc is directly to my wifi router, and when i try casting my chrome tab from said pc, it worked perfectly! weird that all my other wireless devices cannot cast to the chromecast, even my laptop although all of them are connected to the same wifi router (checked it from my 192.168.1.1)
i have deducted that the problem may come from the wifi settings (which ive found weird as i did a factory reset on my router, but it still doesnt work)
I used it on 2 different tvs 2 different phones an 1pad just stuck in loading screen sayin disconnected device connect device to Wi-Fi if it not connected why is it in the app settings already and I used it on my 5g and it just not work
If you know the WiFi signal is good in this area. Maybe it's a DHCP Leasing issues (I had a router not give leases until a reboot. idk) or Network encryption issues? WPA2-AES is most common for newer devices.
Yea, Wi-Fi signal is fine out there. I think it's something to do with IP address, too. Really wish the thing gave some info, though! The app doesn't tell you ANYTHING about IP, signal, etc. Nothing. Pretty annoying.
Is it an older Chromecast? I've had that happen twice. Both to the original Chromecast. Google told me it just happens after a bunch of years. Got a new one and no problems.
Yeah mine is 1st gen and it seemingly "cant connect to device." Annoying. I bet G home updates and threw my whole life off. Gonna have to get a new one :[
I suddenly had the same issue that I lost connection to both chromecast devices (living room and bedroom) and kept getting usable to connect error messages. After 1 day and a half of trying everything thing I could possibly do I contacted Spectrum. Of course they had me try everything that I had already tried they did a Firmware Update to my Router. Problem solved.
I have a problem. When my chrome cast connects my tv has a bug where the screen zooms in too much making 30% of the border screen not visible how can I fix this
My tv is new it has chrome cast and airplay and I have a movie app that it used to let me use chromecast but now it doesn’t it only uses airplay which I don’t like and it says I can use chromecast and dial , and airplay but at the end it can only use airplay and I have another tv which in that one it only uses chromecast which is good but it’s my room tv
I started having trouble after the last Google Update! It chooses what is Will or will not cast! Personally, they are almost pushing More Google products as a Solution!
3:36 untill that moment had everything the same. But it was acsualy working. Only problem what I'm having with it, is that it's breaking up connection. I'm casting from oculus quest and sometimes it might be a minute sometimes 5 minutes. When it breaks up I have to reconnect it again. Very annoying
I had the same problem I thinks it's the router. If you got spectrum router swap it. I swear spectrum is trash. I'm currently changed my router to netgear and I'm able to cast now from my chromecast.
Have the same problem i try everything nothing works, but finally got my money back, i took it back to the shop and they said they it no more updates 😡😡, and they still seel them
Hi. This will solve it... Learn More: Router has UPnP disabled UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), also known as multicast, allows for the discovery of UPnP-enabled devices on the same Wi-Fi network. It appears that you have UPnP disabled on your router. This makes Chromecast undiscoverable by other devices on the same network. You will need to enable UPnP in your router settings. Please refer to your router manufacturer's documentation to learn how to enable UPnP on your router.
@@scottstevison1593 Bring up a command prompt (Google if you need) and type ipconfig/all The "gateway" address is usually the address you need to go to to get into the router. Give it a shot.
I have the same issue and try many different ways to get it working and was not able to fix it. I decided to use an old TP Link router I had as a wifi extender of my main router (even though the signal from the main router reaches the Chromecast just fine) and it does connect to the old router that is used as a wifi extender for some reason. Both routers are TP Link btw. Have you (or anyone) been able to find any other solution?
need help my issue is , lets say i use stremio to stream a movie from my pc to a chromecast connected tv it starts loading , and when its almost complete it stops , and i just have the normal chromecast screen on my tv , before it worked fine for me , all of a sudden it doesn't pls help :(
solved after change my HDMI extention cable and its 100% working now so try to change HDMI port if u have another in ur led then change HDMI extention cable
I had the same exact issue. Turned off and unplugged modem and router. Did the same for Chromecast by disconnecting hdmi from tv and power supply. Waited a couple minutes. Plugged everything in. Turned on modem 1st then router then Chromecast. Viola everthing works
@@azzkisspayback yeah I tried it. Didn't work. The company I go through switched my router and it started then. I've taken many steps and there only one that I haven't been able to because my internet provider has it blocked.

I'm having this exact issue on a school with 8 ChromeCasts (v2) attached to Video projectors. Sometimes they work and sometimes they just vanish from the network. I have a Draytek Vigor 2927ac and a bunch of Unifi AP and switches. No VLan's. Can anyone help me? It's driving everyone crazy (me particularly as I'm the school's sysadmin) and it's affecting class dinamics. Help me, please.
@@rmp5s I don't get it. You keep the TV unplugged from the outlet? Is that it? On my case that solution is not possible as the videoprojectors are setup on the ceiling with energy cable concealed inside.
@ I really don't think Chromecasts are intended for what it sounds like you're trying to accomplish. I assume the teachers are wanting to cast to the projector but this isn't really what Chromecasts are for. You're probably going to want to find another solution. And yea, I keep it all unplugged until I want to use it and it works perfect when I put it in.
2 года назад
@@rmp5s maybe you're right, but... some of them (2 work consistently) for the last week. The problem started when I intended to add the other 6 to the same network. ChromeCasts would be the perfect solution for replacing long HDMI cables that every now and then break, mainly because of bad handling and misuse.
Same shit with mine to can't get it to work same shit it was working good. I. Guees. The. Fucking. Chromecast probably caught Coronavirus. I. Guees im thinking we gonna start having to buy something extra to get access it's all about money and if they can make you buy something extra the more richer they get like when RUclips was free now you got to pay for movies and whatever
mine too. i have a pc connected directly to my router and casting from my pc to the chromecast in the other room works fine. but nothing happens when i try to connect from my phone
@@rmp5s When I first bought Chromecast years ago I was able to connect to WiFi in seconds. I then switched to Ethernet adapter to save WiFi bandwidth and it was smooth sailing. Now years later there is certain things I can't cast anymore and they said I needed a firmware update. Found out you can't update firmware through Ethernet. You can't make any device changes through Ethernet. I had to do a factory reset and set up through WiFi all over again. During set up it keeps spinning when I try to connect to my WiFi network. I never get to the prompt to enter network password. Whats wrong with this thing?
@@Steve-mp7by you switched the Chromecast...to Ethernet?... Wut? lol Why? You were maxing out your wireless ap? But, to answer your question, sounds like you are using it in an unintentional way. Doesn't really sound like it's to blame, homie.

@@lawlini1979 Hahaha...that's right!
This is bu far the ONLY way I found out why it wasn’t working. My router was the problem.
I used a personal hotspot to connect both the chromecast device and an ipad for this instance which were both connected to my phone’s personal hotspot.
with personal hotspot works all the time, but i want to save data and money so i Hook it up to the house router for the first time but the app on my phone is having trouble trying to find the deanm thing. the app give me and error message that says: router AP isolation is not allowing to connect to my phone.
Same to my cast. I can connect it with my desktop but not on my samsung phone
It stopped working again after the pinned post. I ended up contacting Google and, after the setup process, they had me turn everything off, plug it in then turn the tv on and it worked. No idea why, or if that would be a permanent fix, but hey...give it a shot. Factory reset, reboot everything, set it up, unplug it, turn tv off, wait 30sec, plug it back in, turn tv on.
@@rmp5s hahha.. ive done a lot of search in the internet. It was fixed a few minutes ago just by turning off and on my modem and router and voula its working now.
@@michaelgutierrez522 Whatever works, right? lol
It depends on the chromecast you have, on mine there's a button in the circle thingy of the chromecast, you just need to hold the button until it resets the connection, open the google home app and follow the steps thoroughly.
Hope it helps
That a lot of times did work before but it don't work no more I've been doing that lately and nothing
My chromecast has the same problem i really need how to fix it
Does anyone know why sometimes my Chromecast will connect and show the program , but with no sound?
Great video.... We got 3 more CPE ( Clients ) this week. It is nice to see the WISP grow.
Awesome!!
I got a new sub yesterday, too. The backbone is starting to get a bit stressed at times...going to hold off on expansion until I can get on the tower and get some real throughput. SOON!
@@rmp5s Wish I was there to just help and drink some coffee. I will be there sometime in 2020. Hopefully early in the year.
@@MikePowlas You've got a room when you visit! 😁
My google cromecast won't keep up with my phone on screen mirrior mode , the TV freezes and my phone still playing how do I fix!!!
i have the exact same issue. my pc is directly to my wifi router, and when i try casting my chrome tab from said pc, it worked perfectly! weird that all my other wireless devices cannot cast to the chromecast, even my laptop although all of them are connected to the same wifi router (checked it from my 192.168.1.1)
i have deducted that the problem may come from the wifi settings (which ive found weird as i did a factory reset on my router, but it still doesnt work)
Mine is doing the exact same thing? How do I fix it. I did a factory reset on mine also like 5 times. Never had this problem before.
fixed my chromecast by brushing the back of the TV Hdmi ports.
Mine not even comes up on the TV. No problem with Roku or Fire
I'm having the same issue!
I used it on 2 different tvs 2 different phones an 1pad just stuck in loading screen sayin disconnected device connect device to Wi-Fi if it not connected why is it in the app settings already and I used it on my 5g and it just not work
If you know the WiFi signal is good in this area. Maybe it's a DHCP Leasing issues (I had a router not give leases until a reboot. idk)
or Network encryption issues? WPA2-AES is most common for newer devices.
Yea, Wi-Fi signal is fine out there. I think it's something to do with IP address, too. Really wish the thing gave some info, though! The app doesn't tell you ANYTHING about IP, signal, etc. Nothing. Pretty annoying.
Is it an older Chromecast? I've had that happen twice. Both to the original Chromecast. Google told me it just happens after a bunch of years. Got a new one and no problems.
Nope. It's brand new.
Hmm...maybe it's just defective...
Yeah mine is 1st gen and it seemingly "cant connect to device." Annoying. I bet G home updates and threw my whole life off. Gonna have to get a new one :[
I suddenly had the same issue that I lost connection to both chromecast devices (living room and bedroom) and kept getting usable to connect error messages. After 1 day and a half of trying everything thing I could possibly do I contacted Spectrum. Of course they had me try everything that I had already tried they did a Firmware Update to my Router. Problem solved.
Mine won't even find the device??? Wtf
I think I’m at the exact same place the chrome cast will not recognize the wifi . I’m tired I’ll try again tomorrow.
See my pinned comment.
I love your vids
Thanks!
Happy Holidays to you and the fam 🙏
Thank you! Same to you and yours!! 😁
I have a problem. When my chrome cast connects my tv has a bug where the screen zooms in too much making 30% of the border screen not visible how can I fix this
Might be something to do with your TV. Have you adjusted the picture setting?
The same problem,have you found a solution?
Not really, no. Didn't, then I thought I did, then I didn't.
@@rmp5s at least what have you done to work for few days? Im curios If it works for me
@@dani1629 It's never on for that long. This TV is off 99% of the time.
why missing default speaker option in google home apps? Please tell me
Same kind of issue in my cast. Plz some one help me
When are they going to (get the bugs out) of the devices?
My tv is new it has chrome cast and airplay and I have a movie app that it used to let me use chromecast but now it doesn’t it only uses airplay which I don’t like and it says I can use chromecast and dial , and airplay but at the end it can only use airplay and I have another tv which in that one it only uses chromecast which is good but it’s my room tv
I started having trouble after the last Google Update! It chooses what is Will or will not cast! Personally, they are almost pushing More Google products as a Solution!
"there's a problem casting to (my chrome cast)". I can't seem to get my phone to mirror or cast to my tv. Any suggestions?
My home app can’t even find the chrome cast. Garbage.
Are all the Chromecast on the same subnet?
Are you using any kind of wi-fi extenders on that part of the house?
Something could be blocking mDNS..
Mine works but I've got to reset it at least 5 times a day.
3:36 untill that moment had everything the same. But it was acsualy working. Only problem what I'm having with it, is that it's breaking up connection. I'm casting from oculus quest and sometimes it might be a minute sometimes 5 minutes. When it breaks up I have to reconnect it again. Very annoying
I had the same problem I thinks it's the router. If you got spectrum router swap it. I swear spectrum is trash. I'm currently changed my router to netgear and I'm able to cast now from my chromecast.
Have the same problem i try everything nothing works, but finally got my money back, i took it back to the shop and they said they it no more updates 😡😡, and they still seel them
Any solution? :( I already connected it to all my TV's and it doesn't work
Mine, black screen!!! 😭😭😭😭
Hi. This will solve it...
Learn More: Router has UPnP disabled
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), also known as multicast, allows for the discovery of UPnP-enabled devices on the same Wi-Fi network.
It appears that you have UPnP disabled on your router. This makes Chromecast undiscoverable by other devices on the same network. You will need to enable UPnP in your router settings. Please refer to your router manufacturer's documentation to learn how to enable UPnP on your router.
Hopefully this fixes it for others, but see my latest videos...I have anything but a normal network. lol My router is ~10 miles away...
I've tried to get into the settings for my wifi router but when I put my router address in it says page not available.... Any help?
@@scottstevison1593 Bring up a command prompt (Google if you need) and type ipconfig/all
The "gateway" address is usually the address you need to go to to get into the router. Give it a shot.
I checked this and mine was already enabled.
So what worked for in the end was doing a factory reset on the chromecast and setting it up on the 5 hz network not the 2.4 hz. It didnt like the 2.4
Anybody know why my 4K tv won’t upscale on cromecast
I have the same issue and try many different ways to get it working and was not able to fix it. I decided to use an old TP Link router I had as a wifi extender of my main router (even though the signal from the main router reaches the Chromecast just fine) and it does connect to the old router that is used as a wifi extender for some reason. Both routers are TP Link btw. Have you (or anyone) been able to find any other solution?
some people are saying that the problem was the app and after updating it phone was able to connect to the cast.
AP router isolation is the error I got when i first set it up, but with my hotspot from my phone it works ok.
Same problem, how do I fix it
Try to set up by TV, maybe it can works
need help my issue is , lets say i use stremio to stream a movie from my pc to a chromecast connected tv it starts loading , and when its almost complete it stops , and i just have the normal chromecast screen on my tv , before it worked fine for me , all of a sudden it doesn't pls help :(
but when i do netflix on my phone it works
solved after change my HDMI extention cable and its 100% working now so try to change HDMI port if u have another in ur led then change HDMI extention cable
That wont change the way you connect to it
@@snoosri no sir lmao
So it should just start working? Haha fuck
I can't get chromecast to work on nordvpn
I'm running into this same problem.
I had the same exact issue. Turned off and unplugged modem and router. Did the same for Chromecast by disconnecting hdmi from tv and power supply. Waited a couple minutes. Plugged everything in. Turned on modem 1st then router then Chromecast. Viola everthing works
@@azzkisspayback yeah I tried it. Didn't work. The company I go through switched my router and it started then. I've taken many steps and there only one that I haven't been able to because my internet provider has it blocked.
Damn son
It's a global problem...Am annoying with the same issue with 2nh gen Chromecast...(since last 10 hrs) ...
"google home detect 2nd gen chromecast but will not connect during setup."
Please help me somebody... From India.
Boot your modem and router
I'm having this exact issue on a school with 8 ChromeCasts (v2) attached to Video projectors. Sometimes they work and sometimes they just vanish from the network. I have a Draytek Vigor 2927ac and a bunch of Unifi AP and switches. No VLan's. Can anyone help me? It's driving everyone crazy (me particularly as I'm the school's sysadmin) and it's affecting class dinamics. Help me, please.
See the pinned comment.
@@rmp5s I don't get it. You keep the TV unplugged from the outlet? Is that it? On my case that solution is not possible as the videoprojectors are setup on the ceiling with energy cable concealed inside.
@ I really don't think Chromecasts are intended for what it sounds like you're trying to accomplish. I assume the teachers are wanting to cast to the projector but this isn't really what Chromecasts are for. You're probably going to want to find another solution.
And yea, I keep it all unplugged until I want to use it and it works perfect when I put it in.
@@rmp5s maybe you're right, but... some of them (2 work consistently) for the last week. The problem started when I intended to add the other 6 to the same network. ChromeCasts would be the perfect solution for replacing long HDMI cables that every now and then break, mainly because of bad handling and misuse.
@ Yea, I think trying to use that many Chromecasts was destined to fail, man.
Chromecast 3?
Same thing!! I have tried everything suggested nothing works!! What a rip off this thing is!!
Wht can i do? Ti fix this error
Mines the same, they’re Fckin shite
Same shit with mine to can't get it to work same shit it was working good. I. Guees. The. Fucking. Chromecast probably caught Coronavirus. I. Guees im thinking we gonna start having to buy something extra to get access it's all about money and if they can make you buy something extra the more richer they get like when RUclips was free now you got to pay for movies and whatever
Why didn't you follow up I have the same problem how do you fix
I ended up calling Google support and it worked for a while...then it didn't. Haven't messed with it since. Give them a call.
Mine is doing the exact same thing.... It's driving me crazy.... Any help would greatly be appreciated.
mine too. i have a pc connected directly to my router and casting from my pc to the chromecast in the other room works fine. but nothing happens when i try to connect from my phone
It's ur WiFi settings
My said I show set up ap isolation
help!!!
Bloody pile of shite these chromecasts one minute thay are great then rubbish my wifi keeps cutting out
were same
Google chrome cast is a load of shit , simple!
No solution yet hate the google people they are not posting any solutions
No solution?
See pinned post.
I solved the problem by reïnstalling the 'Google Home' app
Oh nice. I'll give that a shot!
@@rmp5s And...does it works?
@@wimwiersma7787 Haven't tried that yet.
Doesnt work. Tried re-installing and rebooting. Chrome cast sucks
Works on 2g, not 5g. Switch wifi connection bc only works on 2.4 ghz
Hi Larry this is my problem will not work on 5g what can i Do?
Hey Larry, this solution works for me. Thanks! :)
Don't call it a Google Home hub, call it a Google Nest Hub, thats the new name. You will confuse people
Restart your phone
Chromecast is a hunk of shit
Not really. See the pinned message.
@@rmp5s When I first bought Chromecast years ago I was able to connect to WiFi in seconds. I then switched to Ethernet adapter to save WiFi bandwidth and it was smooth sailing. Now years later there is certain things I can't cast anymore and they said I needed a firmware update. Found out you can't update firmware through Ethernet. You can't make any device changes through Ethernet. I had to do a factory reset and set up through WiFi all over again. During set up it keeps spinning when I try to connect to my WiFi network. I never get to the prompt to enter network password. Whats wrong with this thing?
@@Steve-mp7by you switched the Chromecast...to Ethernet?...
Wut? lol Why? You were maxing out your wireless ap?
But, to answer your question, sounds like you are using it in an unintentional way. Doesn't really sound like it's to blame, homie.
