Chromecast and plex server with Orbi. Multicast IGMP proxy?

Hello guys I am happy with my Orbi, however since install I noticed a little quirk with my chromecast and plex.  Sometime my android phone would not be able to connect to chromecast and sometime not able to find my plex server.  However I noticed if I cycle my wireless on the phone on and off most of the time it come back, sometime I have to power cycle the chromecast but very rarely.  Anyone have this behavior?   Also does the option IGMP proxy is presently dissable on orbi by default, does this have to do with anything?  and what is it for, I do not seems to understand the wikipedia explaination.

    As for me it seems to be a problem of too much signal. I cluster the Orbi router and satellite too close to each other, since I spread them out more to the edges of my house the problem went away.
