I just bought a Chromecast with Google TV (4K), and have attempted to set it up with the Home App, and with the remote, but it cannot connect to my WiFi network. My router is a Nest Wifi Pro.
I have almost out-of-the-box Wifi settings: IPv6 off, UPnP on, Guest mode off.
I have 2 other Nest Wifi Pros, on other floors of my house with ethernet backhaul to the router (bridge mode), but the router is nearest to the Chromecast (~15'), and my phone shows strong signal there.
Can anyone help me get the Chromecast on my network?

Today I check the Chromecast again, and it was prompting to be restarted by unplugging it for a few seconds. After restarting, I was able to set it up using the Home App. It is now downloading an update. I'm not aware of any changes, and don't know what the cause or fix was, but wanted to follow up here.

Good stuff, I'm glad to hear it's working for you. Sometimes with a new device it just needs to do a bunch of updates and sadly the nature of the beast is we don't always see that as they run in the background until it needs user input.
