Can't connect Chromecast to Netgear Extender EX2700, is it possible?
Hi,
Can I just check that there's no way to configure the settings in my Netgear EX2700 Extender to allow to use it to connect to my Chromecast? These articles suggest that is the case - as it's n...
Thanks for your reply.
Yes the Chromecast and the device (my tablet) are both connected to the extender.
When you say try connecting my device to the 2.4ghz network, do you mean try connecting it to the main router? It says the signal is likely to be bad, which is why we've got the extender.
Am I misunderstainding you?

No, it was my mistake. The EX2700 is a single-band extender, and only has 2.4 ghz. I was thinking of a dual-band model that have both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz extender networks. So that suggestion doesn't apply to you.
When you connect the tablet to the extender network, are you able to reach the internet?
Ok.
When you say 'When you connect the tablet to the extender network, are you able to reach the internet?'
Are you asking if I can use the internet on the tablet when I connect to the extender, rather than the main router?
If that's what you're asking, the answer is, yes I can. It works fine.

Yes, that is what I was asking. The Chromecast also connects to the internet for some things, so I wanted to confirm that wasn't the issue.
It should be working, I don't have any other troubleshooting ideas at the moment. Hopefully other posters will chime in.
Hi, I just wanted to update that I used a different device - i.e. my phone not my tablet - and connected successfully this morning. I have no idea why this different device worked, but I'll take that for now.
Best,
