Router TL-WR941HP ver2.0 - Incompatible with Multicast/Chromecast?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 2.0.0 Build 20171127 Rel. 62435
ISP :
I received this router 2 days ago and I'm already having problems with it. I noticed that even with Chromecast connected to my Wi-Fi network, it's not recognized in any supported apps (youtube, hbo go, netflix). It only works if I reboot the router, but if after that I unplug the Chromecast and turn it back on, the problem appears again. This did not happen to me when I used the TL-WR941ND. Do you know what could be wrong?
*The TP-Link Brazil Support Center said that this router is incompatible with the Multicast function, so it doesn't work with Chromecast. That's true?
*I've tried support with Google, but they could not identify the problem.
(I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong in english...)

[FONT=times new roman]go to DHCP client list to check whether Chromecast obtain IP address.
If there is, record the MAC address of Chromecast and go to wireless->wireless statistics to confirm.
If there isn't MAC address on DHCP list or wireless statistics, try to reconfigure Chromecast. [/FONT]

I've tried this but it didn't work for my Brazilian router (PT-BR). Returned a simple "ERROR" message.

Now my Chromecast is working properly. I've updated for this beta firmware and using it for more than 24 hours, whithout rebooting the router.
But the same problem remains for my smart TV Samsung.
Any solution here?
Thank you!
