Orbi doesn't work with Chromecast. Please help
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...
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.

Thank you! I found out my Google home also did not have internet internet access. Man I was bummed out but in the end I only had to make one of your changes to get everything to work right. I'm on firmware ver. 2.2.1.210 and daisychain was on by default. Once I turned that off everything instantly started working!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Glad it fixed it. Enjoy.
