Chromecast keeps disconnecting

    I have a chromecast for years and it has all worked fine.

    I recently changed to a new vodafone gigabit service. Since then the chromecast sees to keep disconnecting. Every time I turn TV on I get a message saying
    Reconnect me
    Chromecast can't connect to wifi etc.... see image below for example.

    If I open the home app - I can see the device but do nothing with it. The solution is to kill the power to the chromecast and turn it back on and suddenly everything is perfect again.

    Any ideas/solutions please?

    Is it possible there's too many devices on the same connection and it's booting it off? That'd be my immediate guess.

    I since found the problem. The new Gigabit Broadband was broadcasting over 5ghz and the chromecast was unable to cope.

    I disabled the 5ghz and everything working again! :)
