I installed Smart MESH and now can't connect to the Chromecast unless I disable the MESH access point.  
Once connected, I can re-enable the MESH access point.  That's a pain, because it's upstairs. 

 

Spark Tech Support is clueless.  Any suggestions?

Is your Chromecast connected to the mesh network?

The Chromecast is connected to the network, but I can't determine which access point it's on because it's not identified by name in the 
    Overview -> Access Points -> Connected WiFi Clients 
list.

Replying to my own question:

 

Enabling (RIP) Routing Information Protocol seems to have more-or-less fixed the problem:
  SmartModem menu: Network -> Routing -> RIP
Tick the RIP Mode box and "Save Settings".  

 

YMMV -- Ross
