Chromecast Ultra won't connect on wifi6

Wattree — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 02:58:09 GMT

When I update to wifi 6, my Chromecast Ultra will disconnect and stop talking to any of my apps. The only way to get it back is to turn off the wifi 6 channel and reset the Chromecast. Does the Chromecast Ultra support wifi 6? I can't find any information on it anywhere.

Thank you

I do not believe the Ultra supports WiFi 6.

That says it supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi and I believe WiFi 6 is 802.11ax

It supports only WiFi 5. You will need to change WiFi protocol to 802.11ac as Byteguy mentioned.
