All other devices, wired or wireless, connect with my main router and they can see and control the Chromecast because they are all on the same subnet, just different wifi hotspots. The problem with this solution is that no matter what these companies tell you about how these devices have improved, if the outlets aren't part of the same circuit, they won't see each other.Ĭlick to expand.I have a wifi router that I no longer need as a router so I have it configured as a bridge to provide a close wifi signal to my Chromecast, with a separate SSID so only the Chromecast attempts to connect with it. Then hook up the repeater if it can turn into an access point or buy an access point through a ethernet cable. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend extenders/repeaters for these situations.Ī better option but this is based on your house circuitry, is to use the ethernet through electricity in a wall socket (don't plug into a surge bar) and have it run to your upstairs. Then for example if you hook the 2.4ghz band to the router, you use the 5ghz band to connect your devices too. You hook up either the 5ghz or 2.4ghz band to the repeater. Your repeater/extender needs to be a dual band repeater. Your router needs to be a dual band router. The only way to avoid this only works under these circumstances. Router is Asus RT-N12 with switch set to repeater.įYI when you use a repeater, your wifi bandwidth will get cut anywhere from 50-75 percent of its throughput. The Nook has the CC app but I haven't used it yet. My CC is still in the Merit's wifi networks list, but showing as out of range. Came back downstairs, Merit is still connected but after awhile went back to one to two bars. Unplugged the repeater, waited, plugged it back in. Took the Nook upstairs by the CC and repeater, it wasn't finding much of a signal. So, is Chromecast messing with the wireless, or is the new router/repeater doing it? And why does it only affect the phones? That one doesn't have the CC app installed (no room). OK, remembered we had a stock ZTE Merit so checked that.
CHROMECAST SETUP WIFI DISCONNECTED FULL
My Nook Color shows full strength wireless. Sometimes it is full strength, other times weak. But wifi keeps going to disconnected, half the time my wireless isn't even in the list.
The CC is showing as only one bar on the phone. The signal is fine, this computer is on wireless. Now I'm sitting two feet away from my modem, but my phone keeps connecting to the CC, and won't stay connected to the wireless. I installed a repeater yesterday because my signal wasn't strong enough by the TV. My phone thinks Chromecast is a wifi network.
