Chromecasts Gen1, 2 & 3 now all show an empty rectangle instead of the wifi signal strength

[Swipe650]

Over the last day or so I've noticed my Chromecasts Gen1, 2 & 3 now all show an empty rectangle instead of the wifi signal strength. Router powered off and back on to rule that out. Someone on the chromecast subreddit also reported the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/zbkmgf/chromecast_gen3_shows_a_square_box_instead_of/

Firmware versions:

Gen1: 1.36.157768

Gen2: 1.56.275994

Gen3: 1.56.291998

Hi Swipe650,

Thanks for reaching out. Please reboot your Chromecast and plug it in on a different HDMI port on your TV. If the issue persists, do a reset on your device. Here's a guide: How to factory reset your Chromecast.

Thanks,
