Firstly, apologies for the dumb question but networking is not my area of expertise.

 

My current set-up is VDSL using the ISP supplied HG659 as it was intended, a 1 box system to take care of routing and Wifi. I have a Shield TV connected via Ethernet, I prefer to use Ethernet as I have a 4K TV and subscribe to Netflix premium offering for 4K content. I also occasionally use the Sheild TV to chromecast from a mobile device however to do so I have to disconnect the Ethernet cable and connect the Shield TV to the Wifi network. Whenever the Shield TV is connected to Ethernet I can't even see it to cast to it but as soon as I disconnect the Ethernet cable it is there and work fine.

 

Is there something I need to change in the router settings to enable casting to an Ethernet connected device?

 

Thanks

This sounds like you may have Wireless Isolation turned on on the modem.

 

 

 

i do recall this issue popping up with an older VF firmware, Have you checked if your firmware is all up to date?

Cheers.

I haven't checked firmware, just plugged it in. Where in the router settings can I check for Wifi isolation?
