Can't find ChromeCast devices on new Orbi network

Can't find ChromeCast devices on new Orbi network.

 

I can see the ChromeCast devices on my old network but can't find them on the new Orbi network.  Has anyone seen this issue?

Re: Can't find ChromeCast devices on new Orbi network

Both my Samsung TV and DirecTV receiver were finicky during Orbi setup.  They could see the network but wouldn't connect.  Not sure why as everything else connected just fine with the same SSID and password as I used on my previous router.  I unplugged both the TV and receiver for about 30 sec, then plugged them back in.  They connected without any further action from me after that.  I realize your problem is different, but maybe it'll work for you too.

Even through I used the same SSID and password as my previous router both of my Chromecast's had to be re-setup via the app in order to work with the Orbi.
