Hi User 12687537580395166897,
 
Not to worry! Let's try these steps:
  1. Try make it so that your TV is within 15-20 ft (4-6 m) of the Wi-Fi router.
     
  2. Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both turned ON on your phone or tablet.
     
  3. Turn OFF mobile/cellular data.
     
  4. Reboot your router. Most routers just require that you unplug the power source and then plug it back in to reboot.
     
  5. Reboot your TV by removing the power cable, then reconnect it.
     
  6. Make sure you're using the latest version of the app you're trying to cast from, by checking your app store for any updates.
     
  7. Force restart the app you're trying to cast from.
  • Android: Swipe up from the bottom, hold, then let go. Swipe up on the Google Home app.
  • iPhone/iPad: Swipe up from the bottom, hold, then let go. Swipe up on the Google Home app. On older devices with a home button, double-click the Home button, then swipe up on the Google Home app.
  • Turn Wi-Fi off and on again on your phone or tablet.
  • Reopen the Google Home app.
