The extender is enabling connections to my laptop my phone and my chromecast but as noted in the article at the top of this chain i can t seem to change the ap security setting in the extender so that the phone can be used to tell chromecast what content to show.
Chromecast wifi extender. If you changed your wi fi network and your device isn t currently connected to a wi fi network skip the steps below and set up your chromecast or chromecast audio on the new network. That s because you can use your connectify hotspot as a middleman for the chromecast. The connectify hotspot software app allows you to share your windows laptop s wifi connection with your other devices this makes it the perfect solution when chromecast won t connect to wifi. Hi there my chromecast is quite far away from my wifi router getting 2 bars of signal on it.
If you changed your router you can either re do the setup you may follow this chromecast setup guide if the old network is not in range or simply reset chromecast. When i watch things on my tablet there isn t any real issue with lag but when i cast to the tv in the same room it becomes extremely laggy and often disconnects and stops casting. As in your main router is network and your extender is network ext. Has anyone had this problem.
Chromecast hangs or freezes. I m having the same problem. You can try to plug out the usb power cable then check whether chromecast works after plugging the cable back. Possibly the signal from your main router is still barely strong enough to confuse the wifi chip inside the chromecast.
Chromecast and chromecast audio devices can only remember one wi fi network at a time. Chromecast can only remember one network.
