Chromecast won’t set up after a reset

Hi, I’ve had to factory reset my chromecast after changing internet supplier and now it’s stuck on the welcome page and it’s not showing up on the home app. 

I’ve tried all the listed steps to troubleshoot and nothing worked. Reset the Wi-Fi, re installed the home app and still nothing. Any help greatly welcomed. 

thanks

I'm having similar issues and have to wonder if its related to a Google app or rogram/android update?

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Let's see what's going on — could you tell us the version of Chromecast device you have? Also, what phone are you using for setup (Android, iOS)?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,
Kimy

Did this disconnected, connected again and reset

 

 Added it again to Google home. It doesn't seem to link to Google play services.

Chromecast gives me a message saying it has been set up but can't be found

 

Can co firm I have a Gen 2 Chromecast. Nc26a5 model.

 

Our new router is 5g

I was able to set my Chromecast up in another house using an old Samsung phone andbtheir internet provider and router. It then worked with my phone.

Does this mean it's my router or internet provider that is the problem?
