2x 2016 Vizio Chromecast TVs that both lose their connection to Orbi RBK50

Since install, both Vizio Chromecast TVs lose their connection between TV watching sessions.

 

Toggling the TV on/off/on using a remote or unplugging the TV and plugging it back in allow it to reconnect, but then it will lose it's connection again within a few hours. 

 

The trouble is that I did a firmware update when I connected the TVs to my new Orbi. Everything else on the new network are working much much better.

 

Any suggestions for a troubleshooting process to get this issue nailed down and fixed?

 

Thanks!

Erik

    Hello ErikNordheim

     

    Have you tired to set a static IP for the vizio tvs?

  • I returned the Orbi and went with a different system that is working.

    Thanks!
