Hello.
I'm facing a problem with my chromecast. When letting it connected on the TV for a long time (like at night), when I wake up at morning, my WiFi connection do not connect, It says that is 'obteining IP adress' and do not connect at all.
At home I have two WiFi routers with two different networks connection. The connection that's not in sync with chromecast keep working and the one with chromecast syns keep saying that adress problem.
Thank you.
Is Chromecast still working and connected to WiFi when the router goes braindead? Might be an issue with the router not handling Chromecast's multicast or something.
So, I'm setting up my new chromecast, but have have run into a problem. I'm able to find and connect my phone/PC to the chromecast itself, but it won't connect to my home (setup hangs at "connecting"). After a while I get an error message a la "can not establish contact with chromecast" (roughly translated from Norwegian). I've made sure uPnP and MAC address filtering both are disabled on my router.*I've already tried factory resetting the chromecast and moving closer to the router, to no help.
Worth mentioning is that my router is not exactly new (tilgin vood something), and is not to be found in the list of routers in the chromecast support section.*
Any tips?

Try reducing the number of units that are connected to the wireless router and try connecting with the CCast again...Sometime on some cheaper routers too many devices connected will prevent new devices from connecting.
You can also try rebooting the router or try moving the CCast closer.
I do assume you have a Dual Band Wireless N router with the 2.4Ghz band enabled. CCast only connects to 2.4Ghz band.

Normally there's no more than 2-3 devices connected to the router at the same time, so a lack of available connections to the router shouldn't be a problem. Both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands are enabled on the router, so that shouldn't be a problem either. Moving the chromecast closer to the router didn't make a difference either. I'm really not sure what's the problem here...Thanks for the reply, though!
Is it simultaneous dual band? I mean does it run both bands on the same network or does it effectively run 2 networks? Simultaneous will work best, but if it isn't you need to make sure that the router allows both networks to speak to each other.
What if I only have 802.11N router with access point and I want to set old router off and connect G2 to my desktop PC by 802.11AC 5GHz WiFi? Will some cheap USB stick do the trick or I must only buy new Dual Band 802.11AC with access point?
If USB stick will work which one is better, Linksys WUSB 6300 AC1200, TP-LINK Archer T4U, or Netgear AC1200 A6210 or ASUS USB-AC56?
Instead of a hotspot, I connect my note 8, to my Asus rt ac68w router and enable tethering. It worked great until the android pi update. Now I plug my phone into the router and enable tethering, but the tethering isn't working. Router firmware is up to date. Any one have solutions or know of a router that this will work on?
Le2 X620 can not connect WiFi 5.0 GHz.
Any fix to enable WiFi 5.0 GHz connection?
