Hi, @Zoralth,

 

Thank you so much for reaching out to the community. I’m truly sorry for the error message you are receiving when you try to set up your Chromecast on the Google Home app. Help’s here.

 

To effectively troubleshoot, please provide the following information: 

 

  • Do you have the latest firmware version?
  • What device is used to complete the setup, and what's the OS version (iOS or Android)?
  • What's the TV brand and model?
  • Has the streaming device been connected to this network before, or is this the first time setting the device up?
  • How far is the streaming device from the Wi-Fi router?
  • Do you own more than one streaming device? If yes, do these issues happen to other streaming devices?
  • Are you trying to connect to the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz network?
  • Where are you located?

 

In the meantime, please follow these steps: 

 

  • Check if the streaming device is within 15 to 20 feet of the setup device and the Wi-Fi router.
  • Toggle WiFi off and on from your setup device.
  • Close and then reopen the Google Home app.
  • It might have a glitch that prevents it from completing the setup process. Restarting the router and rebooting the streaming device may help resolve this inconvenience.
  • Try to connect your streaming device.

 

Please let me know how it goes.

 

Best regards,
