Hello!
Any other experience problems with connecting Chromecast to Deco M5 when having the first M5 as router?
I have the first M5 as a router and is planning to connect a gigabitswitch to that one for the wired network in my home (and connect the remaining 2 M5 to this).
Now, when trying to configurate my Chromecast, it finds it but when performing the configuration, it states "not possible to connect the Chromecast to [myNetwork-name], check WiFi network-name". (translated from Swedish...)
It seems the complete network goes down when configurating the Chromecast (expected behavior is that the phone or computer goes of of Wi-Fi).
I am still able to use my old router (Thomson TG789n) but the speed in this router will limit me
I have tried to access the router (192.169.0.1) through a web-browser but with refused response so the only way to configurate the Deco M5 system seems to be through the app?!
The Wi-Fi works splendid and no problem connecting my Sonos-system, except this problem.
Any ideas or if someone is experience the same?

@ado good grief, i was losing my mind with this issue. I rebooted, messed with settings, everything that ive seen in forums. the chromecast audio finally connected almost instantly when i turned off "Fast Roaming" from within the advanced settings.
