Internet connection dropping

[ChrisNI]

My Google TV with Chromecast keeps dropping the internet connection, it eventually comes back again after about 5 minutes, remains connected to Excellent strength WiFi connection and there are no other devices dropping internet connection on the network.   I've tried doing a factory reset but it hasn't helped the issue, also rebooted router. 

Device software is up to date. 

5 April 2021 security patch,

Kernel v4.9.180,

ATV OS Build QTS1.210311.008.7350836

Keep the distance between the router and Chromecast device with 6 meters.

Move your Chromecast device from the back of the TV in an open space and ensure that the Chromecast device is not touching other cables or powered on devices.

Unplug the Chromecast device from the mains power grid for about 5 minutes then plug it back in.

Ultimately, hard reset the Chromecast device using the built-in button on the back.

Is the hard reset you suggest different from using the factory reset option in Settings?

[djtetei]

Yes, it is different.

Do you have an extender on your network? Turn it off and see if you still have an issue.
