Hi.
1. Firmware
I've upgraded firmware 1.1.6.122 to latest 1.1.7.132 and it's still not working.
2. Shutdown MSs
Same. The phone cannot reach to Speakers
3. Airplay also not working
I found iPhone XS AirPlay also shows same symptom; not working in MR, but works well as the image depics.
I think MR blocks device-to-device communication. hmm. I couldn't found but is there any configuration related to allow/block between connected devices in MR station? I'm not using Access Control nor DMZ.

I resolved by this thread; https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Wi-Fi-6-AX-Mesh/MR60-Mesh-and-Chromecast/m-p/2168338/highlight/true#M3851
settings/advanced/advanced setup/wireless settings - and then uncheck the "Enable AX" box. Then i went thru and was able to connect all (3) of my chromecast devices - SUCCESS FINALLY !!!
The referenced thread shows two solutions; (1) uncheck "Disable IGMP" and (2) uncheck "Enable AX"
The first one does not resolve the issue, but second works!!!!

Glad you got it working.
There's newer FW as well.
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.
