Fix all errors unable to find can't connect to wifi failed. error solution fix - Jak na to + styl
OK FIXED IT !!!! YES !!!! after three weeks of NO CAST DEVICES FOUND. Was ready to pitch both Chromecast units in the garbage. I got error on Win 10 laptop, and all phones had stopped working. NO CAST DEVICES FOUND NO CAST DEVICES FOUND for everything I tried from a zillion forums.
Finally from another forum, I got the inspiration that it was really a router problem. I went into my router setup and from the extensive device list shown, I copied down the unique MAC address of each Chromecast unit. (This is hardwired into each Chromecast unit) Then I went into my router setup. On my router setup screen, I went to HOME NETWORK>MAC FILTERING, then manually ADD both of my Chromecast MAC addresses. I didn't even have to reboot my router.! It found the Chromecast devices nearly instantaneously..All laptops and phones now work. I love the internet.
patrick driscoll so glad it worked! Love helping out people!!
Where do I find the MAC address for the chromecast
patrick driscoll. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Also me. Over a month. Just now I did it. 🌱⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
interesting I'm eager to try this out.
Thank you so much. I am now able to cast.
Thank you sooooooo much, TechBrah!! I never knew my Chromecast had a button on it until you pointed it out. My device doesn't look like the one you show, but since you said the same instructions applied, I PERSISTED!! :-) Followed the instructions on my TV and the only problem I had finishing the set up was because I'd changed my password -- DOH!! Once I figured that out, ALL WAS GOOD!! Thanks again for giving me the boost to get it fixed myself!!
My Google home app just refuses to find my chromecast 😢
Same 😢
Very useful video. I was struggling to change WIFI on my chromecast due to change in router as there was no clear response in many sites including chromecast help. This video helped me and resolve this issue real quick by just resetting the chromecast and completing the setup process in 5mts..thanks for the help.
Omg. I spent all day with my TV unplugged only for the issue to persist. Then I found this video and fixed my Google Cast so quickly! Thank you!!!!!
Pressing and holding the button on the outside of the ChromeCast device FIXED MY PROBLEM. Thank you bud. Thumbs up and all that.
Thank you!!! Four years later tips still work.
Thank you! Watching your video I realised I wasn't holding the chromecast reset button long enough
Thank you 🙏🏻 spent hours trying to fix mine but you did it! 🐐
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Now the CZcams app recognizes my device again! YAYYYYY!!!
*Also nice method, factory reset is great for many simple problems :)*
OMG Thnx I don't know how long I have been trying to fix it never worked. Thnx for your video. Yayy 👍
Thanks! I'd just installed a new wifi system and couldn't get my Chromecast set up to access it properly. The RESET fixed this so I could go ahead and reset my Chromecast from scratch.
My chrome cast 2nd gen stopped working and this fixed it!!! Thank you.
We recently updated our router and it stopped working. It's now working thanks to your help. Thank you.
I get as far as this in my WIFI Section "Internet is not available for CHROMECAST (then my numbers) Need help!!
Me 2 lol did u fix it hahah 2 years later
Me too
Thank you sooooo much I've been struggling for 2 days also. I'm doing the happy dance👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That was the bomb 💣
Thank you very much for this solution. Now, i am able to cast my android screen on my TV. I hope it won't need to get reset again & again in future.
Thanks 🙏🏽 didn’t know the 2nd generation had a reset button. If we have to reset again, probably going to switch to Apple TV
I Reset the device after watxhing ur Video clip it start working thankz.
Mine also worked! Did a couple of things in MI ROUTER 3C to get it connected finally! 😁😁 added mac address manually,turned off uPnp,Added DHCP Static IP of chromecast mac address
omg it worked! didn't have to use google home thingy or anything else. just held the button down. could never find the button before! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
lmao ....THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! changed my wifi password and it broke the whole dam system haha ....factory reset was the best option for me ...thanks again for relieving my stress !
Thanks finally got it going months later cheers
I can set it up and reset to factory settings then it goes away. Device still not found
I am having the same problem. I’ve tried turning it off as the chromecast gets really hot. Turned off modem and unplugged it letting it cool down. Try again see if that works for you.
I tried everything nothing works
The New Gamers same. Did you ever find what could fix it or was it a lost cause?
@@hernan44 Yes I did, I took my charger port it came withand connect my Ethernet wire in it and plugged it into my Chromecast and it worked but it won't wirelessly no more.
SAME i figured out the problem by doing it on a google device. i used a pixel to do it
Thank you so much for the video. I had an error msg and had no idea how to fix it. All written instructions were confusing. Following the steps from your video I did it today and feel happy about it.
Can u guide me
It actually works!!!
Steps to fix chrome cast
- type in "chrome://flags" (in the URL)
- There’s a search bar at the top beside the magnifying glass. Search for the flag "Connect to Cast devices on all IP addresses". Change it from Default to Enabled.
- Do the same with "WebRTC new encode cpu load estimator" and "Load Media Router Component Extension."
Thank you so much!!! it worked for me. I only enabled "Connect to Cast devices on all IP addresses". I have a question tho, is this safe since I enabled it? Sorry I'm not really a techy person that's why I asked. But really, thank you so much for the help.
@@blugan No problem I glad it helped, yeppp it's perfectly safe.
I love your video. Question: I notice that the name I gave my Chromecast is in my Wifi connection. But it's not password protected. Should I be concern? Can my neighbor use my Chromecast to connect to my Wifi?
Thank you very much!!! I was strugling for two days with that ....
After I reset my Chromecast It went through and did the colorful G but then the screen was just black and it did not go to the set up screen
Mine says that it connected successfully but the connection between the chrome cast and Wi-Fi are not linked and that I have to switch off the AP isolation
Did u solve it? Have the same issue
Yeah. I too am facing the same problem. Is there any way possible please
Hiii i know this was two years ago but did you ever figure it out? it’s happening to mine right now and idk whats AP isolation
The damn thing is just not working,I can't connect my chromecast device to my WiFi,this thing is rly pissing me of.
Thank you. The reset button worked for me. Thumbs up.
Thanks for remind me that there is a button for restart the chrome cast!! You save me just before i turn green and angry man. ;)
Wow, I'm so glad I found you. My Chromecast was recognizing my WiFi but failed to connect. I reset everything including my WiFi. But you are a genius, just in the nick of time. Thank you young man.
SAME
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you so much for this!
Hi @TechBrah I'm trying to fix it, I have the exact same model of Chromecast (1st gen) but mine always shows a solid white LED, it never changes, no matter how long I hold the reset button. Any idea?
Thankyou so much for uploading this! Problem solved!
You’re a life saver. Peace to you too, brother.
You are a life saver bor thank you so much for the advice big help
Useful, thank you!
Love your work thanks man!!
Thanks mate, your a star👍🏼
Mine didn’t connect to Internet so I’m watching this thx alot
Thank you very much!!!Now I can finally cast from my laptop again.
this guy is worth a lot more the whole department of Google engineers, I am an engineer, so pissed with google product. rating junk
If you got a problem like "your chromecast was set up successfully but can't be found" just try to reset (turn off and on) your modem first. worked for me!
That worked for me too, but when swicht off my TV and swiht on again my Chromecast can't connect again to mi wi-fi. Did u have that problem? Or working normal after switching off Ur TV ?
I bought chromcast from USA 5 years back & I installed it without google home app. The setup done thru my PC as well on my mobile. Now from 2 to 3 months it stopped working. I tried a lot to set it but it shows no devices found. I also checked my WI FI network. The WI FI network is ok. should I throw the chromcast in DUSTBIN ?
Very helpful! Thank you!
I was struggling for hours to connect my phone to the chromecast. Then just loaded this video and all the problems was solved and could connect. I didn't even watch the video. #truestory
So, what do you do when you press the reset button and the red light stays red solid no matter how long you hold the reset button. Mine was working fine for years but now will not detect or reset with a new TV
Do you have solution for my chromecast, it not show led light indicator, no response. And when i try to plug in to tv, no response on tv and still no led light blinking on chromecast?
Btw mine is chromecast gen 1
Why do I have to perform factory reset every single night to get chromecast to work?
Because it is a poorly designed system

Because it's an overpriced, badly made toy!
Because You used Yahoo last week
You sir are a hero! Thanks
Great video but i am still having problems.. I already had chromecast working.. But it was slow.. Anyway after about 4 months a purchase a wifi booster.. Steup goes well.. But at the end it says. Chromecast has been setup but cant be found?? Help anybody?
thank you. Sooooo much you have done it for me!!!! Being 2 days crazy mad to find out the wifi but you done it in 2 minutes
Wow techbrah, thank you so much . I have tried all day to set my chrome cast and it wasn’t working. Just came across your video at 1am and it save me . Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks your a life saver
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you TechBrah for Ur effort and time!
Hope everything worked for you! If you have any other technical issues with any other electronics or computers, let me know and I will immediately make a video solving your problem!
@@techbrah9943I don t know if you ll see this comment but i do this and my device is not found.Can u do an updated version of video?
So simple yet so effective! Thanks for the video mate.
NOPE, nothing!! I have went through EVERY step, modem restart waiting, factory reset just like you did here, and nothing. It isn’t my WiFi, or anything else that I can see. I wanted to be able to cast from my laptop again. Before, I could still cast from my phone. So I disconnected from my TV. Great idea. Now nothing works, and no one has an answer. I give up. It would seem it is trashed now. It worked fine before. I have all the updated software as well. Nothing. I think I’m asking for a miracle at this point. Just done!!
Same.
Thank you!!! Yes!
Mine says that it's connected but can't be found
Me too
Thank you soooo much!!

Hi, did everything mention in the video but still at the end tells me that the "móvil can't connect with the chromecast, verify if the devices are connected to the same network". Got al the process of instalation, everything telling me That got "connected", all OK "you're done, now you can use your device" (something like that) then "next" and tells me that there's no connection between the devises.
Any advice?
cute and helpful...thanks
Mine still isn’t connecting. I rebooted everything WiFi and chromecast still noting. Idk what to do anymore. Yes I’m trying to connect them to the same WiFi.
Same here just gonna return the thing
I see chromecast startup issues and an exclamation mark, have any idea how to fix it. Thank you
Thank you! Chef! Merci,merci merci
Can you help us when we link Hulu it plays the video but it’s ahead of the words does that make sense? Idk how to explain it 😬
Thank youuuu it helped alottt!!!
Helppppppp!!!!! Mines doesn’t give a welcome screen, just a set me up screen. Dl google home put device not popping up
Thx , i was sad cause of it not working , i had your problem too.
What is going on here? I can watch You Tube on Chromecast from my iPad without problem. But from iPhone attempting to cast You Tube fails to bring up my location (e.g. Living Room). To get this to work I always have to cast Netflix, which does see the location. After pausing the Netflix cast I can then return to You Tube which will now show the location so I can finally cast the You Tube video. I’ve been needing to do this for months now. A chromecast device reset or iPhone reset doesn’t fix this. Any ideas?
I have video but no audio... The cable box audio is playing even though I've changed the hdmi port using the input on the tv remote. ... also... I can cast youtube and have video but no audio.... When I try to cast frank speech, I have only a box in the center of the tv
Worked! Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
How can u fix the part where I want to chromecast a movie from a website and it says connecting then it doesn't connect
Great video Thankyou !
Any advice for someone who can’t get past the welcome screen? The google app will not recognise my device at all! I’ve reset it so many times and it just won’t pick it up.
Thank you so much!!!! I made It alive again!!!! 😍
Another simple way is go into your Home app and select the chromecast you want then select factory reset. There is also a soft reset option (reboot). This is in no way a cure all and should not be touted as such.
My Device gets mute while playing any video and after few mins voice comes back for few minutes and again Mutes. Can you please help?
hey can u help me with my one it says "Some questions,Please restart" and if I hold in the button it doesn't show me white color it shows me like some kind of light blue:(
Bro you are the mvp 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How do you fix audio lag? My video will play then it starts bugging out and the audio isn’t in sync .
