Only IPv6 after restart then only IPv4 after wifi reconnect

I have working IPv6 at home using an eero router which I believe uses SLAC for for IPv6 and DHCP for IPv4. I noticed when I restart the chromecast it gets a global IPv6 address but no IPv4. If I then disconnect from the wifi and reconnect it gets an IPv4 address but no global IPv6 address.

  • Everything seems to work fine with either configuration but I think it is a bug.

Hi tech2024,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! Sorry to hear that your Google Chromecast is only receiving a global IPv6 address after a restart, but not an IPv4 address. It seems like there might be a router configuration issue preventing the Chromecast from getting the correct internet protocol, even though it's connected to Wi-Fi. Let’s take a look at the next articles related to connection issues:

 

 

Let me know if it works.

 

Regards,
Axel.
