Hi @Tyson7,
Thank you so much for reaching out to this community! I understand that your Chromecast is disconnecting from Wi-Fi and that you are encountering issues when trying to reconnect. As a result, you’ve noticed that the device has been very slow and that it takes three seconds to navigate to the Wi-Fi icon. I also appreciate that you have taken the time to research similar posts on Reddit. Don't worry, I'm here to help you!
I would like to ask you a few questions so I can provide you with some new troubleshooting steps:
- Which specific Chromecast model do you have?
- How far is your Chromecast from your Wi-Fi router?
- Can you connect your Chromecast to a different Wi-Fi network to see if the problem persists?
- Is Access Point (AP) Isolation enabled?
For the moment, I would like you to perform the following troubleshooting steps:
- Reboot your router.
- Force close the Google Home app:
- iOS:
- Open Recent apps:
- On an iOS device without a Home button: Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen.
- On an iOS device with a Home button: Double-click on the Home button to show the most recently used apps.
- Swipe left or right to find the Google Home app and on the app's preview, swipe up to close it.
- Android:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, hold, then let go. If you're on Android Go with 3-button navigation, tap Recent apps.
- Swipe left or right to find the Google Home app and swipe up to close the app.
- Reboot your mobile device.
- Use a different setup device.
- Perform a factory reset on the streaming device.
