When I check the Monitor > Multicast, I see the 239.255.255.250 group from the Chromecast (and my switched set to snoop also show the switchport the WLC is on in that group too)īut nothing happens when I fire up the chromecast client itself. I've also tried setting the WLAN > Advanced > P2P blocking action to "Forward-Upstream" to no avail. Since I'm not running my APs in auto mode - the suggections below also seem to be of limited use. Which is for 8.0 (which I've installed also and have seen differences) When I switched out for the 2504/2702 gear is when things stopped working. I actually had the chromecast units already set up with another brand of simpler AP and they worked fine. I've got a 2504 running 8.1 w/two 2702E APs having the same issue where the clients can't find the chromecast unit on the network. To bump this topic back to the foreground. As I said the ChoromeCast for whatever reason is not fully connecting to / joining the network and isn't found by the setup app and fails.Īny thoughts / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Once your submitted it your device will connect back to the network it was on originally and try to connect to the ChromeCast. This is where you will set up the new Wireless Network it will join with the credentials you provided. When you set it up your device (laptop in this case) connects to that network so you can configure it. Just as an FYI - The way that this process works is as follows: When you power up the ChromeCast it sets itself up as a Wireless Device with its own unique SSID. With this in mind I took the ChromeCast to another location with a simple, single access point WLAN Setup and was able to get it to join the network and be seen on the network without any issues. The ChromeCast just hangs when trying to join the network. I don't have any special security set up on the Public Network other than a Pre-Shared Key which I am positive I am imputting in properly.
Since then I did a factory reset the ChromeCast and tried many times to join both the Public and Private Networks with no luck. When I go through the Setup Process the ChromeCast was able to join the Public Network the very first time but was not able to be seen by a client. I verified that P2P is "Disabled" in the Public SSID which is the one we are trying to use. I have 2 different SSIDs one private and one public, they are going through their own VLAN and don't have any issues with any other clients accessing the Internet or other resources on the networks. The WLAN Consists of an AIR-CT2504-K9 Controller and two AIR-LAP1024N-A-K9 Access Points.
I assume that I am not the first person to run in to this and know I won't be the last person but I can't seem to get a Google ChromeCast to work on a WLAN that I set up.
