FYI, I don't think Gen 1 Chromecast supports the 5 ghz band. 2nd Gen and Ultra should though.
You are absolutely correct, just confirmed. My apologes! Thats not too big of a deal for me personally, as that chromecast is connected to a 720P TV in the garage (shared wall with the office, where Router is). My main concern is the Chromecast Ultra which is connected to an LG OLED 4K HDR, and streaming Dolby Vision is a necessity :)
Any ideas from Netgear support? Is there a profile label I should assign to the Chromecast to get it to steer it to the correct band? Or is this a Chomecast issue that NetGear/Google need to collaborate on?
