Chromecast and Mesh Routing issues

I tried all of the suggestions in this forum and none worked for me (using MR62 1 base and 1 satellite). What I had to do to set up the chrome device was unplug my satellite and just use the base station wifi. My house it small enough were I get 1 bar from the base in the furthest part of the house. That being said after plugging the satellite back in I do not know if the device is still connected to the base or now the satellite after inital setup. However this inconvenient work around has worked for me and every google device I've had to set up I've had to do this way. 2 nest minis and 1 nest home(the small screen one).
