Something went wrong

[Kaybay]

I have reset my router, reset chrome device, restarted my phone, went through the 5 troubleshooting steps

My Chromecast will connect to Wi-Fi but the says something went wrong and it cannot connect to my device. This keeps happening but today it won’t fix itself. I could be in the middle of watching something and lose all control. No volume change nothing. Definitely need some other advice because nothing seems to be working.

Solved issue myself 

turn off local network for Google home 

then try to reconnect to wifi

you will get there error message again

turn local network back on for Google home 

try again to connect

This should work just wanted to share in case someone else has the same issue. 😁

Now it’s fully connected but I can’t stream it doesn’t even show up. Definitely getting rid of this and purchasing something different

This is the standard experience when setting up a Chromecast.

We all go through this - waste hours, pull hair out, bang head on table etc.....then by some miracle the Chromecast works for a bit.....we calm down until the next time the Chromecast either doesn't connect to the network or doesn't play any sound etc.

Then we all go back to pulling our hair out etc.......it's the Google Chromecast experience
