Since last week, I have not been able to get either of my two chromecast to connect to my wifi which is provided by my Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2. I am on NBN. I have had no issues until now. I have reset both chromecast, tried on two different tvs. I have tried to connect through google home app using different phones. I have installed the google home app several times. I've even gone into the modem settings via browser and disabled band steering.

There are two sub-optimal workarounds available until Google fix this defect:
