Why Can’t I Connect My Chromecast to My Wi-Fi?
If you’re having trouble connecting your Chromecast to your Wi-Fi network, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that your Chromecast and your mobile device, tablet, or laptop are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you’re not sure which Wi-Fi network your devices are connected to, open the Chromecast app and look for the name of the Wi-Fi network at the top of the screen.
Next, check to see if there is anything blocking the signal between your router and your Chromecast device. This could be something like a metal filing cabinet or a concrete wall. If you suspect that there is something blocking the signal, try moving your router and Chromecast closer together.
If you’re still having trouble connecting, restart both your router and your Chromecast device. To restart your Chromecast, press and hold the button on the back of the device for about 10 seconds. To restart your router, unplug it from power for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
Still not working? Try these troubleshooting tips:
• Make sure that your router’s firmware is up to date.
Contact your ISP or router manufacturer for help with this.
• Check if casting from another app such as YouTube works – if it does then it may be an issue with just Chrome browser
