Chromecast cannot connect to MK63

I succesfully set up a home network with MK63. All devices connect except Chromecast.

I did a factory reset of Chromecast. I ran the setup in Google Home. Chromecast found the SSID but then it gave the message:

----

Connect to same wi-fi

 

Your chromecast was set up successfully but can't be found. Make sure that your mobile device and Chromecast are on the same wifi network.

 

Turn off AP isolation if IP isolation is enabled on your wi-fi router, you will need to disable it.

How do I do this?

 

  • I figured it out, I had to go into Advanced...Setup...Guest Network...

     

    and uncheck Enable SSID Broadcast
