Chromecast not found in home app

[Steveoswed]

Hej.  So I have a chromecast I haven’t used in a while and I have different Wi-Fi now so need to reconnect it.  
I have done a factory reset.  
it comes on my tv with the message to use google home app to set up.  
in the bottom left corner of tv screen it says chromecast 4497. 
when I search for new device in google home app on my iPhone it says it can’t find any devices.  

could the chromecast be broken.  The various lights come on, flashing white for example. 

any help appreciated. 

steve.

Hi Steveoswed,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear that you are having an issue connecting your Chromecast to the network. Let's sort this out.

Quick question: What's the distance between the router and the Chromecast device? Please manually connect to the Chromecast SSID. Here's how: Go to the phone’s Settings > Open WiFi and connect to the Chromecast SSID (Example: Chromecast1234, Living Room TV, Bedroom TV, etc.) > Go to the Google Home app and try to set up again.

For additional steps, please visit this support website article and let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Jennifer
