I updated to the firmware hot fix that is cited in a message above. I didn't reset to factory settings. So far, it's much better. Part of our streaming issue is with dsl bandwith. Can't fix that since we're rural. I still had some issues with my HP 8600 printer disconnecting from wi-fi so I've cabled it to the router and reinstalled it as a hard wired network printer. Printer now works consistently. Chromecast and Roku devices all working.
I went through a process of rebooting each chromecast 3 times, (just to make sure they were all updated, and one hiccupped and threw an error, so I did them all again.) After rebooting each chromecast, I then did a hard reboot (power switch) on the router. Since then, I have had no issues. I did the update suggested above, and still have had no issues.
Whatever was going on, I seems it was an interaction between the chromecast and the router, and once everything was restarted correctly, the problem resolved itself.
Thank you for being so responsive! This router is a beast, and I appreciate the reliability of the hardware and community.
Thank you for the detailed update. Very useful. We haven't had many confirmations describing what happened in quite so much detail.
