Hi Rich31,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Let's sort this out.

 

A few questions: Is the Chromecast successfully setup? Is the router within 15 to 20 feet (four to six meters) of the Chromecast device? What apps do you experience the issue with? Are there any recent changes in the Wi-Fi router settings?

 

Give these steps a try:

 

  1. Make sure that the customer's casting device, Chromecast, and router are within 15 to 20 feet from each other.
  2. Completely close the app(s) and then reopen.
  3. Check that you have the latest version of the app.
  4. Check if the Chromecast device has the latest firmware installed.
  5. Make sure the OS version of your casting device (Mobile phone or computer) is updated.
  6. Make sure your phone and Chromecast are connected on the same Wi-Fi network.
  7. Uninstall and reinstall the affected apps.
  8. Reboot the router, Chromecast, and casting device (Phone or computer).
  9. Forget and reset the network on your mobile phone.
  10. Disable and enable (toggle) automatic time zone setting and restart the casting device.
  11. Use a different mobile device.
  12. Reset your Chromecast.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Best,

Jennifer
