Can't connect chromecast to Wifi

brian99 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 09:33:34 GMT

I have Chromecast 3rd-gen USA version. I'm located in Indonesia. I have Huawei ONT which connected to Wifi mesh Xiaomi AX3000 global version. My Chromecast can be setup with Wifi from ONT. But, not all of my Chromecast can reach the ONT. So, I need to connect to the wifi mesh. But it will not connect, returning error message to check the wifi connection. As I see, it is connecting using 5G, which I set to channel 36 in Wifi mesh. I have tried separated and combined the dual band, still will not connect. Is there router setting I have to do?

Found a solution for this. While setting Chromecast, right after it starts connecting to the Wifi, press WPS button on the main router. This way, my Chromecast successfully connected to the router.
