The Chromecast is a wonderful device, but sometimes they run into problems that can drive you nuts. Here we look at how to solve some common Chromecast issues.

If you have an older TV that doesn't connect to the internet, or you simply prefer to use one of any number ofstreaming devicesto access today’s most popular entertainment apps, one of the best devices around is the Google Chromecast. While older Chromecast models are still available, Google's latest Chromecast with Google TV comes with a physical remote and a customized home page based on your viewing history — putting it on par with similar Roku and Apple competitor devices.

Step 2: Still having Wi-Fi trouble? Each Chromecast product supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz network bands. Depending on how far your TV and Chromecast are located from your home’s router, you may be better off keeping the device connected to one band over the other. The 5GHz band is stronger over short distances, but if your Chromecast is on the opposite end of your home from your router, the 2.4GHz band is probably the best bet.

One of the best ways to get ahead of this issue is to simply connect your Chromecast using the USB power brick that your device came with. This ensures a solid connection for your device at all times and also prevents your Chromecast from rebooting every time you power down your TV. Step 2: For an Android device: Tap the Play Store icon. On the next screen, tap My Apps and Games, then find the app you’re having issues with. Tap Update or Update All to get all your apps on the current firmware.
