GT-AC5300 issues with Chromecast

[Nahuel]

Hi Guys!

I´ve been reading this post for a wile now, and after having some problems with the non-beta firmware i installed the beta.
I have a GT-AC5300 with the latest beta firmware and i am facing these issues:

With my chromecast devices / Google Home. I am not able to see them through my network (can´t cast movies or music). I tried enabling / disabling IGMP from the WIFI settings. This is just a temporal fix, as the devices will show up for a short period of time, less than a day. (this is the most anoying issue)

Some random reboots after enabling or disabling the WIFI GUEST network.

I am out of ideas to try. Please, if you guy have some advice it will be great!

Thank you in advance for your help!
Nahuel.

@Nahuel I have a Chromecast Ultra and a Google Home Mini and I have absolutely no problems.
It was part of my tests to see if I can stream Netflix with phone connected to both router and node and all went smooth.
Setting up a Google Home is tricky because Home expects the phone to be on the same BSSID as Home. And with a 3-band router that may not be trivial. But is not complicated to have both on the same radio and once configured there are no more issues.
Does Google Home application sees your Chromecast?

Hi!
No, my Google Home app does not see the devices as available. Still can use them, except for the chromecast (i cant see the cast icon on the apps).

Thank you for your time!

I know it will sound silly, but disable Guest and triple check both phone and Chromecast are on the same wlan.
If Chromecast has something impressive it is how easy is to setup and use it.
Worst you may have to do a factory default on GT.

Guys, anyone here already saw this issue?

Let me try to explain the scenario here

My Gt is working ok, when i turn on my computer that is wired at gaming port 1 everything still is perfect but i don`t know why when i turn the PC off and the wired led at the router turns off as well i loose wan connection, the wan light goes to red and i have to wait some minutes till it comes back, it`s happening almost 100% times, i turn off the PC the wired led at the router goes off the wan goes off as well, anyone have it? Any idea what is happening? I`m using a Vlan 10 at configuration and the latest beta FW, this happened with the FW at asus website as well

Edit 1: I changed my PC port from Port 1 that is called a game port to port 3 and turned off the computer and no drop connection, will wait a few days to see if it solves.and, I just tried once, need more tests

I just wondering if it really solves the issue will I loose the port 1 and 2 that is for gaming? Or this can be solved in a future fw update?

Thanks for helping

Anyone figure this out?

I'm having a similar issue, but in my case the Chromecast won't fully connect at the end of the setup. I have AP disabled and Upnp enabled tried resetting both devices (Router & Cast) with no luck. This was the same senario on the RT-AC5300 before I got the GT-AC5300, I just didn't ask about it since I only had the RT model for two days.

I have the same problem with my new RT 5300. All chromecasts stop working when I plugged in the RT 5300. The AC66U was not problem at all! I have googled and searched and followed all guides and tips but nothing works. Something is wrong?
