What router settings do I need to setup Chromecast?

 

  • Make sure your router is within 10-15 feet of your Chromecast.

  • Enable: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), multicast, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)

  • Disable: AP/client isolation, virtual private networks (VPNs), proxy servers, IGMP Proxy

  • Please note, each router and its settings are a bit different. Contact your router manufacturer for details.

  • If you’re using a BT Hub, turn off the Smart Setup feature in the router settings and reset the Chromecast.
