Chromecast factory reset unavailable network

[Dee47]

I have moved house and have a new network. I did not realise that I needed to factory reset the Chromecast whilst it was still connected to the previous network! How can I connect to my new network without a factory reset please?

You can reset you chromecast without being on a net work. See the instructions below:

From the Chromecast device

1. While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press then hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED should start to blink yellow. 
2. When the LED light turns solid white, release the button, and the Chromecast should then reset

Hi Dee47,

You don't need to be connected to factory reset a Chromecast, there's a tiny button that you can hold down to do it manually.

Have a look at the help center link below and let us know if you have any further questions.

Edit:

From the Chromecast device

While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on the side of the Chromecast. The LED should begin to blink orange. When the LED light turns white, release the button and the Chromecast should then restart.
