CHROME

Chromecast keeps losing wifi connection. Error message is that the internet connection has dropped but my router and modem have not dropped the internet connection.  All other devices hooked onto the wifi are working. There is no internet connection loss in my are either. I have checked every issue that could cause a disconnection, and the Chromecast device is the only thing that is giving me error messages on internet connection. Was there a recent update to the firmware that could have caused the error?

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear that you're having a connectivity issue with your Chromecast devices. Let's sort this out.

 

Quick questions: what type of Chromecast device do you have? What's the LED light status on your Chromecast?

 

Give these steps a try:

 

  1. Move your devices closer to each other.
  2. Reboot your Wi-Fi router.
  3. Reboot your Chromecast.
  4. Reset your Chromecast.

Thanks,

Jennifer

  • Still not working which is weird. It works when connected to a VPN but connection is too slow.

The light is white and the issue is with the device as another Chromecast works fine.

Hi Brats,

 

Thanks for getting back to us. If you have another Chromecast device, could you please swap the devices and check if the same issue persists?

 

Thanks,

I had to do a factory reset and can connect to WIFI. The update had to corrupt my device.

Hello there,

 

Thanks for the swift reply. Could you please confirm if your device was able to connect to the network after you reset it?
