Chromecast won't stay connected to WiFi

I recently got a new router and after setting it up, my Chromcast won't stay connected to it. 

It says it is connected, but within a few seconds, it disconnects. Watching it from the WiFi settings it just continously goes through a loop of automatically connecting, and then disconnecting, then connecting, then disconnecting....

I've tried resetting the router, changing the bandwith and channels on it. But nothing seems to work. 

All my other devices (phone, laptop, PC and games consoles) can connect to the router and have a strong connection without any issues. I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, so the distance from the router shouldn't be an issue. 

My Chromecast was working fine before my new router.

It's ipv6 breaking changes. Disabling ipv6 in the router finally fixed it. Was able to drill down and isolate the bug in my new android phone.

Had the similar issue and gave up and never really bothered to follow up as i was able to use my nowtv box instead of google tv, however followed the solution offered above disabling IPv6 on the zyxel ex3301 router and it solved the problem.

To disable the IPv6 settings, you would need to access router settings (192.......) and in network settings-> home networking -> LAN settings -> LAN IPv6 active change to no, apply changes, restart router and viola... Hope that helps
