Chromecast won’t connect to Wi-Fi

LisakOT — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 00:51:17 GMT

One of two Chromecast in my home will not connect to the Wi-Fi after I rebooted it. It has worked well Overall, since I got it until this past six months or so. It’s also no longer recognizing/connecting with the remote. When I try to use Google Home from my phone, it doesn’t recognize the device since it won’t connect to the Wi-Fi. The other device is connecting fine. I have tried rebooting it another time. Do I need to reset the Wi-Fi for the entire house? I rebooted one router. Or do I need to get a new device?

Hi LisakOT,

Thanks for posting here in the community! I'm sorry to hear that your Chromecast isn't connecting to the Wi-Fi network. I'm here to help!

I appreciate your efforts to troubleshoot the situation. To better investigate the inconvenience, I’d like to ask the following:

What is the specific model and generation of your Chromecast? Here’s a helpful article about how to identify the model of your device.
What is the color of the status light?
Have you made any changes to your WiFi network?
Has the Chromecast been connected to this network before?
What is the model of your mobile device (Android or iPhone)?
How far is the Chromecast device from the Wi-Fi router?
Did you receive any error messages?

In the meantime, I’d recommend the following steps:

Make sure you have the latest versions of the Google Home app and your mobile software.
If possible, try adding the Chromecast using a different mobile device.
Update your router's firmware if needed. Outdated firmware can sometimes cause issues.

Additionally, you can check out this article for more troubleshooting steps: Can't establish a Wi-Fi connection to Chromecast or Google TV Streamer.

Please keep me updated.

Best regards.

Jenniffer
