Chromecast suddenly not connecting

Sometime last week, all of our chromecast devices stopped showing up. When trying to set up them up again, but keeps giving us "check internet connection". I rebooted router several times, factory reset one of the chromecasts twice already. I have performed a sequential reboot of the chromecast, router, and my phone. Our wifi is functioning. I did not change any of my router or network settings. We did lose power during a storm last week, but we have surge protectors. I added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my list of DNS servers. My router is not set up for AP isolation. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi folks,

 

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

 

A few questions: what type of Chromecast device do you have? What's the LED light status on your Chromecast? How far is it from the Wi-Fi router? Please try to plug in your Chromecast into a different HDMI port on your TV. Resetting your Chromecast again and manually connecting it to the Chromecast SSID might also help. 

 

Here's how you can connect to the Chromecast SSID: Go to the phone Settings > Open Wi-Fi and connect to the Chromecast SSID (Example: Chromecast1234, Living Room TV, Bedroom TV, etc.) > Go to the Google Home app and try to set it up again. 

 

If the issue persists, please attempt to connect the Chromecast to a mobile hotspot to isolate the issue.

 

Thanks,
Jennifer

I’ve got the same issue.  In Google Home the devices show up, but if I click the cast tab in Spotify, YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu (everything I tried so far) then no devices appear.
