So been using a chrome cast for a while with a Purple.

All has been working fine.

But today cannot connect it to the Purple, even tried resetting it and no luck.

Have iPhone, MBP connected fine.

But whatever I do it can't see the Purple.

Any ideas ?

Is the chromcast connected to the same network as your other devices? if they are, the traffic likely not even going through Firewalla.

Sorry should have been clearer.

In a hotel using the Purple in router mode with WISP.

All is fine with other devices and they can see the Purple and connect.

The chrome cast was connected before and all fine.

Now something has happened. Even a reset of the chrome cast the device cannot see the Purple in the list of available networks or manually entering the SSID & password fail.

It's odd.

We recently added a "compatibility" mode for Purple Wifi, you should see that here https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/4554420886163-Firewalla-Box-Release-1-974-App-Release-1-50

Turn that on and see if it will work

Got home and only change made was to remove a MAC id that I had been using in hotel and then my home network.

Connected first time.

Odd. Oh well.

What is the hotel you were staying in? Need to take a note.
