“I have not been able to get this to work with the Chromecast that is built into my Vizio TV. Seems to be related to not being able to choose a band, so the Chromebook and TV wind up on different bands. Anyone else had this problem?”

I don't know if my example will help: I replaced our Xfinity pods with the eero mesh. The eero mesh is much faster than the pod mesh we had but I did run into a small problem. When I set up the eero mesh it created separate wifi network. So I had one Xfinity wifi network and a separate eero wifi network (which I gave a different name). I found that my laptop on the eero wifi could not communicate with the printer left on the Xfinity wifi. Once I moved the printer to the eero network the problem resolved itself. I moved almost all our wifi devices to the eero mesh wifi and left only a limited number of devices on the original Xfinity wifi. I wouid make sure both your Chromebook and TV are on the mesh wifi network. If they are both on the eero mesh wifi and the issue is one being on 2.4 GHz band and the other 5 GHz band then my example does not help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
