I just received my Orbi Rbk50 today. I got it set up and it updated to the latest firmware. My phone, ring doorbell, and Google home all connected fine and seem to be working but my Chromecast ver. 2 will not work. It says "Reconnect me. You are connected to the network but can not access the internet." I tried restarting the modem and Orbi and the Chromecast. I tried factory resetting the Chromecast several times. Is this a known issue? Any ideas? Thanks

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try WPA instead of WPA2, then try WPA and AES Only.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. So try this out as well.
