Setting up a Chromecast Device on my talktalk router

MickP54 — Wed, 22 May 2024 14:13:54 GMT

Am trying to set up a chromecast device but am receiving an error message from the SET UP wizard advising me it cant connect and to Disable AP isolation on my router to continue

Ive had a quick look at my router set up page (192.168.1.1) but its not obvious to me where I need to go

Can someone outline the steps I need to take to carry out this adjustment?

My router is

TALKTALK260BAF

and my bands have been seperated

Many thanks

Mick

That is the router's wireless network name (SSID), not the make model of router, that is normally behind a removable plastic panel. If you could please advise which router that you have, I can help you further.

Hi @MickP54

Alas CS50001 is just part of Sagemcom's address in France, but it is near enough. You either have either of these two routers:-

Sagemcom FAST 5364 (aka WiFi Hub)
Sagemcom FAST 5464 (aka WiFi Hub 2)

AP Isolation is disabled and is not configurable from the router's UI.

Can you give me the Chromcast's WiFi specification please, so I can try & help you?

Please can you also log into the router & get me the System Log entries for the time period of a failed connection attempt? You can do this by going to:-

Dashboard > See internet settings > Manage advanced settings > TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub > Maintenance > Logs

Don't be alarmed by the number of DNS entries in the log, just copy & paste everything from that time period into a PM (to protect your privacy) and send it to me.

Hi @Debbie-TalkTalk

There is nothing wrong as such (the firewall in the router is on medium), but it does not work. Could you please try a replacement router?

Thanks Keith.

@MickP54 - Are you happy for me to send a replacement router?

Hi Mick

I will order this for you, it looks like I can only order a eero now.

Are you currently using a WIFI hub?

Re: Setting up a Chromecast Device on my talktalk router

MickP54 — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 12:29:07 GMT

Yep, It's a WiFi Hub I have.......is an eero in addition to my wifi hub or would it replace it? Sorry, not used one before, are they easy to set up, got a range extender on my hub would I need to remove that?

Hi Mick

Thanks for your reply.

The eero would replace your current WIFI hub.

Yes they are, I can link to a help page for help with set up.

OK, so will I still have ethernet or will everything be on wifi?

Hi Mick,

The eero has 2 ethernet ports. If you have VOIP too then the digital voice adapter would need to connect to one of the ports. If more ethernet connections are required then we'd advise on looking into a network switch.

Would you like us to send an eero?

Thanks

Michelle
