Hi @Dallasbrockman6,

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I understand your Chromecast Wi-Fi keeps toggling off every time you use it, which prevents the slideshow from coming back on. I know how frustrating it can be when your device does not work as expected. No worries, it's a pleasure to assist you.

To understand better the issue, I’d like to ask a few questions:

Which Chromecast model are you using? You can use this help center as a model reference: Chromecast and Google TV streamer specifications.
Are you using the latest version of the Google Home app or Google Assistant app? If not, you can check this Google Help Center article to learn more: How to update the Google Home app.
Is your smartphone’s operating system updated?
Did you make any changes to your Wi-Fi network recently (such as a password change, new router, etc.)?
Could you please verify if your phone and Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, ensuring both are on the same band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)?
Are other devices, like your laptop or smart speakers, able to connect to the Wi-Fi network without issues?
Have you tried any troubleshooting with your device? If so, please specify them.

I’ll be waiting for your response.

Best regards,

Sara

Hi @Dallasbrockman6,

Thanks for replying back to me and for the effort you put into those steps. Now we can explore some additional options:

To confirm, did you follow all the reset steps outlined in this article? How to factory reset your Chromecast or Google TV Streamer: This is to clear all data and start from scratch.

After performing this step, did you delete the device from the Google Home app and then Set up your Chromecast again?

If the issue persists after this step, and you have another mobile device available,
I suggest connecting the Chromecast to a mobile hotspot as follows:

On the second device, turn on mobile data and hotspot.
On the first device, turn on the Wifi, then connect to the hotspot of the second mobile device.
From the first device, open the Google Home app.
Choose the streaming device you want to set up.
Follow the prompts until you reach the Wi-Fi setup screen.
Select the mobile hotspot as the Wi-Fi network.
Enter the password for the hotspot network.
Click the Set Network button.

Additionally, please place the Chromecast within 20 feet of the router and the phone during the setup process.

Feel free to include any additional details you think might be relevant.

Best regards,

Sara
