I bought a 4K Chromecast with Google TV. While setting it up, connecting to Wi-Fi failed, but using the phone's hotspot worked until then. Switching to 5GHz made it connect instantly. How can I get it to work on 2.4GHz? Thank you.

Do you have a Wi-Fi router on hand? Is the Chromecast able to detect the network and connect, or does it keep failing? And if it works, can your phone also access the same network when positioned identically?

It can detect the network. I enter the login details, but it still can't establish a connection with my phone's 2.4 GHz. The router is an ISP-provided device. My phone was already on the Wi-Fi network.

Hmm, seems like everything is fine now. It should function properly. I’ve heard Google’s phone support is pretty impressive, though sometimes they just tell you to keep going and try again.

Hey there, I purchased a dual-band router and completed all the setup. It’s now functioning properly. I reached out to Google Support, but they couldn’t assist further. Ultimately, the fix came from using the router itself.
