This has been one domino setting off another. Have T-Mobile Gateway 5G, which acted up last night. Did a factory reset, it's now working, but renamed new network. All our devices seem to be on the network except can't get Chromecast 2nd gen to connect to TV. Did a factory reset on Chromecast, solid white light is on, it said it was connected to the Samsung TV and the code matched. TV is on same network as my Pixel 6, double checked passwords.
Google Home shows 1 device, the living room TV, but clicking on it says "Can't see Living Room TV on this Wi-Fi network." From all I can tell, everything is online and connected to the same network, but Google Home says it isn't. Any help is appreciated!

Hey there kath76,
I apologize about the late response, thank you for your patience! Were you able to fix that connection issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, as I know networking problems can be difficult. Let me just ask you some questions about what's happening:
I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Hi there,
Thanks for the help, Jeran.
kath76, how's it going? Still need our help? If yes, please manually connect to the Chromecast SSID. Here's how: Go to the phone’s Settings > Open WiFi and connect to the Chromecast SSID (Example: Chromecast1234, Living Room TV, Bedroom TV, etc.) > Go to the Google Home app and try to set up again.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Thank you for the replies. I’ve been traveling, so haven’t been able to try the troubleshooting yet. I hope to do so tomorrow morning, so probably still need the help. I’ll reply after I check it; thanks.

Was finally able to try this again, and it works now. Two things I did which may or may not have helped: the T-Mobile Gateway was unplugged for several days, then restarted, and I removed "Living Room TV" and added "Family Room TV". Other than that, I didn't need to try any of the additional troubleshooting steps suggested after my initial post. Thanks for reaching out to me.
