My Chromecast device does not show up in my iPad’s Wi-Fi settings any longer. I had taken the device to a different location and network and since returning to original location and network, the device doesn’t show up.
Why doesn’t the Chromecast device appear in the Wi-Fi settings on the iPad

Best Answer
Chromecast only appears in the
Wifi/WLAN
settings as long as it is not configured to listen to the localWLAN
access point. It can only remember oneWLAN
to connect to. Whenever you change yourWLAN
, you have to reconfigure your Chromecast to adjust it to the new WLAN settings.Chromecast at first acts as
WLAN
access point to allow for an initial wireless connection for the configuration. Once this is completed, it should not sendWLAN
signals any longer. But I have read reports that this is not always the case. Anyhow, the ChromecastWLAN
signal is no longer used, once the device is configured.It might be necessary to reset the Chromecast to its factory seetings as explained here.
