I noticed about a few weeks ago, all the devices connected to Home app appeared as 'not available' as per below screenshot:
The devices are all definitely connected to the same wi-fi network as my phone (Pixel 6 Pro), and despite resetting all devices many times, this never fixes the issue. Since I've been experiencing this issue however, I've noticed a new prompt when attempting to reset-up the device:
This normally appears for a few seconds before it quickly then tells me again that the device doesn't appear to be connected to the same wi-fi network as my phone.
I've gone through all possible app/phone settings to resolve this but no avail. My partner who is also connected to the same home (iOS user) also has no luck, similar messaging saying device is disconnected.
My problem is pretty much the same as this forum: https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Chromecast/quot-Allow-your-google-cast-to-use-your-network-in.... The Google Community Specialist in this thread comes to the conclusion that it's an issue with the user's router and to check the router settings.
Something tells me this isn't the case though, seems unlikely something randomly has changed in my router settings in the last two weeks...any other thoughts or could there have been a recent update that's causing this issue? I'm stumped.

I have the exact same issue. No solution so far from Google support.

Hey Nickdowns88, I just found a temporary workaround. I ended up logging into my internet router settings and turning on one of my 'guest stations' to create a new wifi network. Connected my phone to this network and then reset up the device, and this time it worked! Not a perfect solution but hopefully that helps.
