Google Cast not working (PC --> Sony Android TV)

by getyashinebox

it appears to be set up fine, but when i try to cast from the laptop the TV does not appear as a device.

thoughts?

Sounds like AP isolation blocking wifi-connected devices on your network from communicating with each other for security reasons. Check your router's settings. As long as the two are on the same subnet, it should be working.

Are you setup with a dual band router? Chromecast or Google cast doesn't work besides on a 2.4 GHz frequency so make sure your laptop is also on the same frequency. I have the stock infinity router and it drove me nuts trying to figure out why nothing was connecting to the TV.
