Connect Chromecast to stronger WiFi

PhilipS — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 19:09:40 GMT

I have two WiFi sources in my house, one stronger and the other weaker. I have had to change them around and now want to connect my Chromecast to the stronger WiFi. I cannot figure out how. The instructions I receive include the following:

Open the Google Home app

.
Touch and hold your device's tile.
Tap Device information

Wi-Fi

Forget this network.

My problem, when I tap the icon I do not get "Device information" and I cannot find it in home. How do I switch my WiFi connection for my Chromecast?

For a Chromecast just do a factory reset (hold the button until it flashes and restarts, usually 15 seconds or so) , this will allow you to setup the new wifi network. Generally this is the most pain free way of doing it!
