Orbi doesn't work with Chromecast. Please help
Earlier I saw someone with the same problem with in my opinion a very complex solution. However this discussion is closed right now, so that,s why I am opening a new discusssion to share my solution.
I had the same problem connecting Chromecast to Orbi. I could not connect it wireless. What I then did was connecting wired direclty to my Orbi satellite and I could install in without any problem. After that I looked what would happen after disconnecting the cable and.... Orbi remembered the wired settings and now Chromecast work fine with Orbi wireless. After that I have done this the same way with my other Chronmecasts and it work perfectly. So in this way you can fool Orbi with succes. Good luck.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
