Is it only your tablet that can't see your Chromecast?
It sounds like you've already tried some great steps. Here's what we recommend:
Make sure your Chromecast is within 15 - 20 ft (4 - 6 m) of the Wi-Fi router if possible.
Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your phone or tablet, if not already turned on.
Turn off mobile/cellular data.
Reboot your router. Most routers just require that you unplug the power source and then plug it back in to reboot.
Reboot Chromecast by removing the power cable, then reconnect it.
Reboot your phone or tablet.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the apps you want to cast from, by checking your app store for any updates.
Restart those apps.
Android: Swipe up from the bottom, hold, then let go. Swipe up on the app.
iPhone/iPad: Swipe up from the bottom, hold, then let go. Swipe up on the app. On older devices with a home button, double-click the Home button, then swipe up on the app.
Turn Wi-Fi off and on again on your phone or tablet.
Reopen the app(s) you want to cast from.
If none of the steps above help,factory reset your Chromecast and do setup again. Once setup, try casting from those app(s) again.

I have both the tablet and chromcast on the same WIFI, but they still wont work. Tablet sees the chromcast when setting up, but does not let the programs be sent to the unit.
Thanks for your reply. Let’s isolate it by connecting both the Chromecast device and the tablet to your phone’s mobile hotspot. Let me know how it goes.
