I have been trying to set up the chromecast device on my mom's tv but it always ends up on the lasy stage when it has to connect with the wifi. It asks for the wifi password and then it just goes into a loop on my phone. On the tv it is in loop for some time and then says i need to connect to some other wifi or need to restart my router. I have done all of that even rebooted the chrome device multiple times and the router too. The router is close by and this device does work on other TVs and other networks. It's just when i try to connect with this particular wifi it shows this loop

Here are some steps we recommend to resolve issues during the setup of Chromecast, Google Home, and Google Nest speakers or displays.
Step 1: Things to check on your phone or tablet
Step 2: Recommended setup
Some things to bear in mind during setup:
If none of the steps above help, factory reset your device by following the steps linked below and then retry setup. You may also want to try setup using a different phone or tablet, if you have one. If you don’t have one, perhaps see if you can temporarily borrow one from a friend or family member.
Step 3: Alternate setup steps
If the normal setup steps aren't working, you can try manually connecting to the setup Wi-Fi network being broadcast by the device.
Step 4: Advanced troubleshooting
If you’re still experiencing issues at this stage, it’s likely your Wi-Fi router has a setting enabled that is preventing your device from working properly. Refer to the manual or documentation that came with your Wi-Fi router or consult the manufacturer’s support website to check the following settings on your router are set correctly.
Enable:
Disable:
Note that all Wi-Fi routers are different, so each setting may or may not be applicable to your particular router. Keep in mind that resetting or making changes to your router settings may have unintended consequences. If you have any questions or need assistance, we recommend you check your router manual or online support documentation, or contact your Internet Service Provider or router manufacturer.
