Chromecast issue

dsharp209 — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 03:06:21 GMT

Hello,

I have been using chrome casts for years without issue and am just at a loss for the current issue I am having. About two months ago the chrome cast on my tv would connect to the internet but it would not be detectable on any apps (YouTube tv, Netflix, etc)

I thought maybe the chrome cast was broken so I pulled out the extra one I had and set it up and the issue was fixed. Two nights later again the new cast was connected to internet but again not detectable on my apps.

I go ahead and re-plug the old one in and what do you know that one is now detectable. This is now an every night or two problem where I have to switch out my chromecasts to be able to connect apps. If I unplug the one that isn’t currently working and plug it back in it still will not detect. If I plug in the second one it works again for a night or two.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I’m tired of having to change them out every other night.
Thanks!

Hi dsharp209,

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear about that. Let's sort this out.

A few questions: what type of Chromecast device do you have? Are you getting a message no cast destination found when attempting to cast? Are there any recent changes in your Wi-Fi router?

Give these steps a try:

Reboot the Chromecast device.
Make sure the device is set up correctly.
Reboot your mobile phone.
Reboot your WiFi router.
Try to use a different mobile device.
Factory reset your Chromecast.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Jennifer
