Hi @Coogie83 ,

It seems you're experiencing a persistent issue with both your Chromecast and Google Home devices connecting to your Wi-Fi network. You've already tried several standard troubleshooting steps, including resetting the devices and network. Given the challenges you've faced and the troubleshooting steps you have performed, factory reset might be the next step to try. Please note that this will erase all settings and data on your Chromecast and Google Home devices. It's essential to back up any important information before proceeding.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Josh

Hi Josh. I tried the resetting also. I then purchased a new google tv box and this has connected no problem. However still the chrome cast and Google home speaker are able to connect to my phone during configuration on the Google home app. But will not connect to any WiFi networks

Hello Coogie83,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you let me know which type of Chromecast and speaker you have? It would be great if you could also tell me which phone you're trying to set up your devices with.

Before setting up the devices once again, ensure they're not linked to your Google Home app. If they are linked still they will interfere with the setup process.
You can remove these devices by:

Opening the Google Home app.
Tapping and holding your device's tile (either the speaker or Chromecast)
Tapping Settings > Remove device > Remove.

Have you had any changes to your network? Even if you haven't I recommend trying to connect your devices to another Wi-Fi source, such as a mobile hotspot as well as using another phone. This will help us determine if the current Wi-Fi network isn't allowing these devices to connect.

Regards,
Angel.
