Hello, we have a relatively new Chromecast with Google TV and have been experiencing intermittent issues that seem like connectivity issues. We have successfully watched several movies through different apps (Netflix, Vudu, YouTubeTV), and during some of them we get notifications that pop us that say "No internet connection" and then some time later says "Internet connected" or whatever the reconnection message is. Oddly, most of the time, the movie just keeps on streaming throughout this whole time period. Sometimes, the movie stops, and the screen eventually goes black, and we back out and try to resume. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. Usually, if we exit completely and turn off and turn wifi back on in the Settings, that is enough to reset or re-establish a connection and we can resume. Another manifestation of similar behavior is if we try to watch a series of YouTube videos in the YouTube app, pretty often we get cut off after only one or two few-minute videos. When we go to click on another one, we just get a buffering circle on a black screen. Backing out and clicking on the video again basically never works in this case, and we don't get an error message saying "No internet connection" in these cases. Furthermore, if we go to try to click on a different video or do a new search, that also does not work. Sometimes, even the icons on the left menu (home, library, search, etc are replaced by boxes with x's in them). There is almost never any problem in the middle of a YouTube video, only between videos. Exiting the YouTube app and turning Wi-Fi off and on again in the Settings also typically works to restore functionality. Obviously, having to take these steps is frustrating and shouldn't be necessary. It's not clear how to troubleshoot this (I have already tried rebooting the modem and router and chromecast since the problems began) or what exactly is going wrong. When it works, we like the interface and using the chromecast, we just want it to work consistently!
