I would like to use my Chromecast on my company's wifi which users EAP 802.1x. Is there a way to configure the Chromecast to work? If not, does anyone know if Google plans to support EAP networks in the future?

I am wondering about the same thing here... Does anyone have a solution, or work-around to use Chromecast on EAP 802.1x?
This is the exact question that I have regarding the Chromecast. I've heard some people mention perhaps using Virtual Routers, but I'm not sure if it actually works or not.

Hi guys,
I only noticed it recently, when I have VPN session running on my mobile, I lose the access to my home network and can't see Chromecast. It only started when I upgraded my HTC One to KitKat, it was not an issue before. Is there a setting or something obvious that I am missing here? I am running OpenVPN app, but also tried the commercial one HMA with the same problem.
Hope someone can help.

Usually VPN clients have the option to not route certain traffic through the VPN. Configuring to not route Chromecast through the VPN should leave Chromecast visible unless there's also some multicast discovery being filtered out by the VPN as well.
I had to go through a very advanced setup on my firewall to get the cc to cast on my same network but use the VPN at the same time..
Hint: ISP redundancy.

The way I did it was have two routers - one with a Roku and the other a Chromecast. The Router with the Chromecast has a US DNS and the other stays as a Canadian address. Works well. Though I do occasionally forget how it is set up. But between them I can work around most Geo Issues.

hey ,i live outside the us and i have recently started using netflix. i own a chromecast but netflix isnt allowing me to use it because of my ip.
i would like to know if there is a way to pass it without a dd-wrtrouter(cant install one on mine ) and using a routing ip beacuse my router doesnt support that either .
thanks in advanced for anyone who helps
Get a new router
This has been pretty extensively discussed in other threads, so the best advice is probably just use the forum search function and do some reading. You haven't really provided enough information for anyone to help you (e.g., type of router? are you trying to access your own Netflix region or another? if another then how are you changing regions? does your Chromecast have North American or European firmware? etc.)

You need to make sure that both your phone and the Chromecast are using the unblockus DNS. If your router has U.S. firmware, it defaults to using Google DNS unless you block Google DNS and make it fall back to using the DHCP DNS addresses from your router. To do that you will need to try either static routing Google DNS to nowhere or blocking the Google DNS addresses in your router. You could also redirect Google DNS lookups to unblockus in your router using iptables commands, but that's not available in standard consumer routers - you would need something like DD-WRT router firmware. Apparently the European Chromecast firmware does not default to Google DNS, so you might want to check whether your Chromecast has updated to European firmware at some point, in which case you don't need to block or redirect Google DNS - but you still need to give the Chromecast your unblockus DNS address via DHCP.
Change the dns setting on ur Wifi in the phones settings and the cast Screen to chromecast
Hi I'm trying to use Chromecast in my corporate network, i don't have the possibility to access in the router and the network connection is protected by a proxy.
there is a solution for use chromecast in a proxy network?
i'm think to use my vodafone sim with my nexus 5 with hotspot but i know that if i active hotspot the vodafone "kill me" cause the hot price of this kind of connection.
how can i do to bypass this limitation of chromecast? thanks
According to my university's ITS website, the chromecast is "banned" because UPnP will not work on the college wifi network. Is there a workaround for this either through apps or chromecast settings or by using the ethernet adapter that Google recently released? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Installing a personal router is also "banned" since it would cause interference with the college wifi network.
How's it banned? Can it connect to the network? Does it require a password after its connected?

I believe the routers just have UPnP disabled which makes it so the chromecast is undiscoverable on the network. Thanks for the response!
I'd just hide your personal router and run the Chromecast.

Can you not use your own router?
If I hide my SSID for a personal router, will it be undetectable to everyone (including the IT people on campus)?
Hiding the SSID won't hide the network itself (IT with a sniffer can still pick up the MAC address of your router and detect that it's running, but they can't really use that to figure out exactly who is using it).
yea and if you hide the broadcast. just spoof the broadcasting mac if you run something like ddwrt. ez pz
I'm a beginner in ChromeCast development, I've searched for a long time to have an answer on the possibility to remotely access, control and cast a chromecast device for digital signage, in different networks.
While searching and understanding the mechanics of chromecast, the answer seems to be "No !" but I've found companies selling solutions that are doing a similar thing.
So if someone knows a way to do that please inform me. (Or if it's impossible to do that).
Thank you !
Set up a VPN and then you definitely can.

I already setup VPN (PPTP Server) on my Mikrotik Router, can ping that chromecast. But, how to connect to my chromecast, I can't see my chromecast on googlehome apps, since googlehome apps require wifi to connect chromecast.
Please somebody help me..
You will probably need to set up an mDNS forwarder or enable multicast forwarding so the app on the remote network can discover them.
Be careful as you can easily cause a loop.
