Router TL-WR941HP ver2.0 - Incompatible with Multicast/Chromecast?
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 2.0.0 Build 20171127 Rel. 62435
ISP :
I received this router 2 days ago and I'm already having problems with it. I noticed that even with Chromecast connected to my Wi-Fi network, it's not recognized in any supported apps (youtube, hbo go, netflix). It only works if I reboot the router, but if after that I unplug the Chromecast and turn it back on, the problem appears again. This did not happen to me when I used the TL-WR941ND. Do you know what could be wrong?
*The TP-Link Brazil Support Center said that this router is incompatible with the Multicast function, so it doesn't work with Chromecast. That's true?
*I've tried support with Google, but they could not identify the problem.
(I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong in english...)

Tenho um TP-Link wr941hp faz um mês, tentei todas as opções postadas aqui e também outras de outros foruns, nada resolveu, tem que reiniciar o roteador pra voltar a aparecer o Chromecast e mesmo assim as vezes não aparece.
Enfim, usei algumas dicas e utilizei a opção Modo Visitante no Chromecast e estou usando assim.
Fiz o seguinte:
-Reset no roteador para configurações de fabrica
-Além da rede Wi-fi, criei a Rede de Convidados
-Habilitei a opção "os convidados possam ver uns aos outros" (tem duas opções lá, habilitei as duas)
-configurei o Chromecast nesta Rede Convidados.
-após configurar o Chromecast, caso ele não apareça no Google Home, reinicie o roteador para ele aparecer.
-Através do Google Home, entrei nas opções do Chromecast e habilitei o Modo Visitante
-Retornei meu Celular, Tablet, e PC para a Rede Principal e deixei somente o Chromecast na Rede Convidados.
Resultado: se não encontro o nome do meu Chromecast para exibir alguma coisa do Netflix ou outros programas, envio para "Dispositivo Próximo", que sempre aparece, e coloco o PIN que está na tela da TV. Após conectar, o Dispositivo Próximo assume o nome correto que dei ao Chromecast. o Meu está sempre disponível agora e não preciso mais reiniciar o roteador.
Observação: eu fiz reserva de IP no DHCP para todos os dispositivos conectados, mas acredito que não seja necessário. Caso queira fazer é muito fácil neste roteador.

Hello everyone,
I have had the same problem with both Chromecast and my Samsung Smart TV. After trying a lot of tutorials, now it seems that my Chromecast issue has been finally solved. But my TV still not working well. It works for a short period, but then disappear again. I gave up my TV because I can use its remote control yet.
These are the settings that worked for my Chromecast. In fact I’m not sure which one or ones need to be combined, because I had tried a lot of settings. At the end, my problem has been finally solved when I changed the MTU size to 1412. But I’m not in the mood to reset my settings again to see if changing only the MTU would work. So I suggest you to start by it.
PS: My router’s language is in Portuguese, maybe my translation of the settings is not exactly.
My router’s firmware is: 2.0.1 Build 20180305 Rel. 54795;
Advanced -- Network -- Internet -- Advanced
-
MTU Size = 1412
Advanced -- Network -- IPTV
-
IGMP Proxy = Disable
-
Wireless Multicast Addressing = Enable
-
All other options Disabled. They might be by standard.
Advanced -- Network -- DHCP Server
-
Reserve the IP Address for your Chromecast and by adding it in the Address Book. I actually have reserved the IP for all my devices.
Advanced -- Wireless Settings
-
Security = WPA/WPA2
-
Version = WPA2-PSK
-
Cryptography = AES
-
Channel = try one that better works for you, I chose the channel 11.
Advanced -- Network for Guests -- Settings
-
Allow guests to see each other = Enable
-
Allow guests to access my local network = Enable
Advanced -- Advanced Settings -- Access control
-
Access control = Disable
-
Guest Device Control = Disable
Advanced -- NAT Addressing -- UPnP
-
UPnP = Enable
Advanced -- System Tools -- System Parameters
-
AP Isolation = Disable
Hope I can help you with those settings. :)
Update: Forgot to mention that I've set my router to reboot every day at an hour that I'm not using it.
