Orbi doesn't work with Chromecast. Please help

Earlier I saw someone with the same problem with in my opinion a very complex solution. However this discussion is closed right now, so that,s why I am opening a new discusssion to share my solution.

I had the same problem connecting Chromecast to Orbi. I could not connect it wireless. What I then did was connecting wired direclty to my Orbi satellite and I could install in without any problem. After that I looked what would happen after disconnecting the cable and.... Orbi remembered the wired settings and now Chromecast work fine with Orbi wireless. After that I have done this the same way with my other Chronmecasts and it work perfectly. So in this way you can fool Orbi with succes. Good luck.
