Hello. So this is my first ride with TP-Link when it comes to routers.

Chromecast.
Had massive problems with setting up my Chromecast that I got. It connected to the wifi then got stuck at updating but didnt update. After 5 min it said "Cannot connect to internet" and had me sign into the wifi again. My fix was to connect it to my phone and update it. And when it was done I connected it to my wifi again. Tried to install apps. Once again nothing happend. So connected it to the phone again. Downloaded the apps. And then connect to the wifi. Streaming to it works fine on the wifi. But I dont want to have to connect it to my phone everytime there is an update.

Youtube.
It takes for ever to load a video. And when it does in the middle of the video it gets all black. My guess this is where ads are ment to be playing. And this looks like a problem only on wifi. PS5, phones, chromecast. On PC it workes OK. Sometimes there are a loading screen for like 10 sec.

I'v seen some post about the chromecast but nothing has helped.
If someone knows if there is a feature or something thats blocking stuff.
I havent done anything to the router more then the basic setup.

Hi, please disable Smart Connect on Advanced->Wireless->Wireless Settings page, make sure the wireless clients are connected to the 5G WiFi as long as they support 5G. 

 

If the problem still exists, please try changing the WiFi channel and channel width as well on the same wireless settings page.

 

By the way, did you ever run speedtest to see if the wired and wireless speed are normal or not?

Thank you for the answer. This somewhat worked. On the PS5 the videos loads instantly and no problems there. Haven't tried the chromecast again. How ever. Now Im getting problems with my wired computer. Now Youtube and other video services takes for ever to load. And yes have run speed test on the things that I can. And getting the speed thats intended.

  @Sunshine Starting to get really annoyed with this. Can't even download and update apps on my phone. There is something with the router that is blocking google services. Connected my computer directly to the fiber modem and it works flawlessly.

Hi, do you mean wired connection to the router start having the same issue now?

Please try to set Internet DNS servers manually to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on Advanced->Network->Internet->Advanced Settings->DNS Address part.
