Has anyone managed to get a UK Chromecast working with PN? The set up fails at the last stage. It looks like the Chromecast gas joined the network (it says so on screen and the router shows it as a connected device) but no devices can actually connect to it.)
Google's help suggests AP isolation as being the cause, but I can't find any way to change that on my Technicolor TG582n FTTC Broadband router.
I've tried switching the firewall off and the network is on channel 1 so the channel 13 issue (which may have been fixed by Google anyway) isn't the issue.
The chromecast worked fine at my Mum's (on, ahem, TalkTalk) but refuses to work for me. All other devices including Apple TV/airplay work ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Paul

The default for the Technicolor router is AP Isolation disabled.
Proof:
You can confirm this by using the telnet command "wireless mssid iflist ssid_id=0"
Result from my router:
SSID : xxxxxxxx (ssid 0/0)
Admin state : up
Oper state : up
AP Isolation : disabled
Public network (any) : enabled
Security Mode : WPA-PSK
This guy got one working with a TG582n

If you wish to try AP Isolation enabled you need to use the following two telnet commands:
Quote wireless mssid ifconfig ssid_id=0 apisolation=enabled
saveall
And to return to default:
Quote wireless mssid ifconfig ssid_id=0 apisolation=disabled
saveall
For more info on telnet commands for this router:

Back to the drawing board!
I wonder if it is something to do with the fact that it was initially set up on a different network and the reset isn't "hard" enough?

Basically I was using my Nexus 5 but it kept failing at the last bit of the setup after joining my wifi network. My Nexus couldn't then see the Chromecast.. Ended up doing it via the laptop with he Chromecast App which worked fine. Both phone and laptop are running Kaspersky.
On the Nexus it does website checking and o do this it adds a proxy setting of itself (127.0.0.1) to the wifi network setting on the phone, which was stopping the connection to the Chromecast. This depends a lot on how you're connecting to it, but might be worth a look on the advanced settings of your wifi network connection on your device, or your browser settings to see if you have a proxy set which could be causing the issue.
Hope that makes sense.

Reset the Chromecast and used the OSX app to configure with exactly the same result.
Help suggests that ap isolation be disabled. It is. It also suggests that uPNP be enabled. It is.
I can't see that I have any proxies set up, but still it fails.
