I have had my chrome cast set up for years and the other day it disconnect. When I tried to reconnect I kept getting the message error “can not communicate with iPhone” etc 

I have tried every solution to fix it but it hasn’t worked

I’ve hard reset the chrome cast

Turned mobile off and on 

Turned Wi-Fi on and off 

Reset my router

Unplugged the chrome cast for 10 minutes

Deleted the home from Google home 

Re-downloaded Google home app  

Tried connecting from another device 

you name it I’ve tried it! 

Please help 

 

Thank you

Hi Rhamsialkadi,

 

Thanks for reaching out and for being a step ahead of us. To cover all the bases, if you're using an iOS device, please make sure the local network access is turned on in your phone settings. Also, try to manually connect to the Chromecast SSID. Here's how: Go to the phone Settings > Open Wi-Fi and connect to the Chromecast SSID (Example: Chromecast1234, Living Room TV, Bedroom TV, etc.) > Go to the Google Home app and try to set it up again.

 

Thanks,

Jennifer
