Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 20211118

Hello dear friends,

 

I just bought the new TP-Link Archer C6 Wi-Fi Router but cannot make it work with Google Chromecast - the device will not connect regardless of the WiFi settings (with or without Guest network, IGMP proxy, etc). I have the latest firmware installed (20211118).

 

Could you please advise on how to make it work please? I think it is a compatibility issue between the devices. My daughter will cry if I am unable to put cartoons on TV via Chromecast and I do not want to be forced to return it if I can't make it work.

 

I am looking forward to your answer and maybe help!

 

Thank you very much,

 

Alex

Dear Kevin_Z, Thank you for looking into my issue. I managed to make Chromecast work with my Tp-Link router AC6 V3.2 after reseting Chromecast. After this, same router settings worked. Best regards, Alexandru
