How do you connect to the router using WPS button?
Where on the device is option to connect with WPS?
From Android 9 there isn't wps option in Android
WPS is massively insecure, so support for it is being dropped.
You can get Android apps which exploit WPS to discover WiFi passwords for routers that have WPS enabled, even when the router hasn't been put into WPS pairing mode. You should always disable WPS on your router.
Thank for the answer.
Google is getting paranoid....

Hi
I have a problem between my chromecast and my TP link wifi repeter (WA-801ND)
I have a livebox (Orange France) but in my room the wifi is bad so I have put a AP to extend the wifi range through ethernet.
When I try to configure my chromecast on the wifi (with livebox and TP link ON) I have a problem I have this message :
After I have seen that I try to fix :
I have disable AP Isolation on the TP link (I haven't found the option on the livebox)
and I have done the following things : https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chromecast/HyxnH4poMzU/i5Km4oP5EZMJ
exepted IGMP because I havn't found it on my router and my AP.
I have try to put my TP Link in Access Point mode and Repeater mode but it dosen't works
I have also try multi ssid on my TP Link : 1 to extend livebox wifi and 1 just for the chromecast but it dosn't work at all
After that I have try to configure the chromecast with only the livebox ON so I have powered off the TP link and at this time it works the configuration is finished successfully. And all is working (youtube, plex, play music, podcast addict) but because the TP link was off there was wifi signal loss. So I powered back ON the TP link and the chromecast connect to it successfully but when the TP link is on not everything works
Working :
-Play Music from chrome desktop and android
-Podcast Addict (android app)
-Allcast (android app)
-cast screen from my Nexus 4
-cast tab from desktop
-cast tab with sound from desktop
-Youtube from chrome desktop
Not Working :
-Youtube for android
-Plex for android
-Chromecast offical android app
In youtube, plex the cast button does not appear.
How can I solve my problem ?
Thanks

Sorry, could you translate the error message from your screen grab into English?
As for your configuration, having two separate access points with the same SSID that aren't in repeater or mesh mode will cause problems, not just for Chromecast.
It's supposed to work with your TP link configured as a repeater, but you need to make sure Multicast packets pass through to the repeater. Chromecast uses multicast for discovery.
Also, I'm not sure what "Easy WiFi" on your main router does, but I would look to see if that might be screwing up your repeater configuration.
the message in the screenshot say :
Unable to find the chromecast on your network, you might solve the problem by changing some settings on your wifi router.
I've just search for easy wifi and it's AOSS :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOSS
Also On my main router I have found UPNP (multicast) but I can't find it on the TP link AP
Tomorrow I will try to connect the chromecast to my tp link with an other SSID (different from the main router).
Aloso try using the HDMI extender on Chromecast, if you do not already use it. The closer Chromecast is to the television, the poorer its WiFi signal reception will be.
So I have done a test :
I have used the HDMI extender and I have given a different SSID to my TP link and my main router after I have seen the same message on the screenshot and at the end it is write "cliquez ici"'
I also change the channel : on the tp link I put channel 13 and on the main router I put channel 6
that mean "click here" and the link is : https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3438461
Edit :
I've done another try
I have an other tp link router/AP unused at my home a TP Link WR702N
First try I have powered on the main router with ssid livebox-b80d
the TP WA801nd with the SSID livebox-b80d // AP Mode
the TP link WR702N with the SSID chromecastwifi //AP mode
all connected to the same network
I connected the chromecast to chromecastwifi AP and it works but to see the chromecast I have to connect my phone to chromecast wifi
So I have done another try I powered off the TP Link 801ND and I change the SSID of the TP link WR702N to livebox-b80d
And now all is working great
I think the WA801ND hasn't got the UPNP fonction that because it didn't works
I think the WR702N has the UPNP because it is recommanded for the SmartTV without wifi
So now it works with the WR702N
So the conclusion is the WA801ND is not compatible with the chromecast
Edit 2 :
Because I have 2 AP (the main router and the TP link) when I move in my house and the phone switch between the two AP I lost the connection with the chromecast
I can control the chromecast only if I am on the same AP (TP link AP)
I will try repeter mode insted of AP mode to try to fix that
Edit 3 :
The repeter mode dosn't works, the two AP are too far from each other I go back to AP Mode
Sounds like you might do better with a repeater that uses powerline connection to the router rather than WiFi, unless you can move the repeater closer.
Yes I will try to bring it closer
I will comeback here if I found a solution
Same problem on WA901ND

I've got the same problem on the TL-WA901ND. Using Powerline doesn't help.
I've started a discussion on the TP-link support group. (search TL-WA901ND Chromecast IGMP issues)
Did you ever come up with a solution?

I have to agree with @bhiga here....They should not have the same SSID unless you are in repeater or WISP mode.
AP mode requires a cable to get internet, Repeater just adds another signal boost in the area the repeater is in...WISP as far as I can tell only works on open public networks that require WebAuth and/or certificates to gain access.
I'm not sure about your model but I have the 702 and it does work with CCast,
So those settings you posted you can't even be sure you are not connecting to the main router cause when both have the same SSID the strongest signal wins.
Mark phone language to English and try ..

I have similar problem. I don't see my chromecast from chromecast app. But when I reboot my router and open app for the first time CC appears but on second open CC cannot be found.

i do have the same issue. its very frustrating. i waste hours to try all option with my AP TL-WA901ND.
finally i enable hidden SSID on my router (compatible but 54mbps max) to connect with chromecast.
connect(smart IP) TPlink AP with Router and broadcast SSID. this way i manage to connect devices with chromcast under same network using two different SSID. i believe we need to wait for some time until there is any update for chromecast to connect with our AP . if you have any other solution please let me know. :crying::crying:
For the WA901ND there's a firmware update that solves the issue.
Bug Fixed:
Fixed the directory traversal security bug.
Fixed the bug that the LAN getway does not take effect when TL-WA901ND is in Client mode.
Fixed a display error in the WDS scanning result page.
Fixed the bug that chromecast cannot work with TL-WA901ND.

You my man, have saved me hours of frustration. Hats off to you
following instruction is shown
1. ensure you are not connected to VPN
2.if you have dual band router than it is not an ap isolation mode
3. if your router has MAC whitelisting ensure that yourwifi network allow this device and your chromecast to join
i m using tp link TD-W8968
This is the solution. You need to buy a router, That TP-link AP-Extender does not do UPNP.
I just got a chromecast and I've been messing with it for several hours now to get it to work. I plug it in, and I get to the screen where I type in the name and password for the network, and it tries to connect but then always ends with an error message that says the Chromecast can't connect to the network. I have a Netgear 6300 v2 router, which is not compatible with Chromecast but I did the work around (turned on IPv6 on the router settings, UPnP is enabled, and another forum suggested enabling IGMP proxying so I did that too). I tried adding the MAC address of the Chromecast manually, and that didn't work either. I've tried to connect using both my phone and laptop. Are there any other tricks that people know of to get Chromecast to work? Thanks!
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.
Tried posting this question to MTCD-discussion folder but the system didn't let me (moderators please move it there if you consider)
Has anybody managed to get the internet on the android auto (in my case a MTCD) through bluetooth tether (maybe with an app?) Reason why I want to do this, is because I want it to happen automatically, but iOS (as my phone is Iphone) is broadcasting the personal hotspot SSID only for a limited time. This means every time I get in the car I have to stop and restart personal hotspot.
On my Joying MTCD-device there is no option in the WIFI-menu of "connect to network even if SSID not broadcasted", and no option in the bluetooth menu for bluetooth tethering.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Tethering over Bluetooth is not possible with these units as far as I know.
But try the following:
1. From the iPhone turn your Personal Hotspot off.
2. From your car's Android find your iPhone's hotspot and make it forget it.
3. Now go to the bottom of the list, choose "Add Network" and type your iPhone's SSID and passcode manually.
4. Hit Connect and turn on your Personal Hotspot.
Now the car unit thinks that this is a hotspot with a hidden SSID, so it will not look for a broadcast.

Hi! Tried this, doesn't work! It still connects only after i turn the hotspot on (when ssid is broadcasted)...
Yes, I just tried this with my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3.3. It looks like iPhone's Personal Hotspot doens't just stop broadcasting the SSID after a while. It turns off the hotspot completely! I tried to connect to it with my PC the way I would connect to a hidden network - no luck either. So there is nothing that can be done, because the problem is the iPhone.
The approach I described above works for hidden networks, but obviously it cannot work for non-exiting ones.

Thanks for your reply, CVT! Must be this problem, indeed. I assumed that it is still on, as actually the togglebutton is still on, but it seems I was wrong.
HTC One M7 CM13.0 (no sim/data) running Android Auto, connected to Honda Accord 2016 all times - soon as car starts android auto starts, using Bluetooth Tether Manager app to auto connect to Iphone hotspot
Iphone 6S IOS10 Beta3 (data) bluetooth hotspot.
Car starts, turns on bluetooth on android phone, android auto starts, then tether app connects to my iphones bluetooth tether.
The bluetooth tether manager app says not connected, but the bluetooth in the menu shows connected to my iphone.
I think this is what you are trying to do as well. If you can bluetooth tether to your iphone, this might work with your unit.
Does simply plugging an iPhone into one of the usbs for tethering Work?.
It does not

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?
