Huh. I have a successful Ethernet connection on the np. However I cannot get any device to connect to the np via Google cast (or dlna). I know the problem is almost certainly that the devices and the np don't think they're on the same internet network connection. I can find no information about the np Ethernet connection anywhere. Most comments don't even cover Google cast and Ethernet. Is the Ethernet connection and the Google cast connection supposed to work automatically? If so, it doesn't and there's seems to be no help on it anywhere. I read something on the many pages discussing pc issues with this that igmp needs to be adjusted on the router but my router has no igmp option. Has anyone here got Google cast working via Ethernet on the np? Thanks very much.
Prior to 6.0, casting worked fine even when connected to Ethernet. The first build of 6.0 worked fine with casting but subsequent updated do not. If o had to guess, I bet it is the result of a cast app update that broke the feature.

Guys, recently bought a Nexus 4 and it normally connects via wifi but can not connect.
I was using the Android 4.2.2 OTA updated to Android 4.3 and the problem persists.
The Nexus 4 connects normally, but the icons of wifi connection and carrier signal are gray instead of blue and even trying to install applications via Google Play or simply access a site via browser do not work and accuse the connection fails.
I was tested and the router's signal is good and other equipment that I usually work (other Android smartphones and notebook).
My router is standard G and I use WPA2.

Oddly enough, I have the Nexus just 3 days and only had access to the router so far from home, but today I'll look for a router to test the public.
But either way it's frustrating the Nexus 4 have these compatibility issues when connecting to a wifi router.
Before making the switch router, is it not possible to find out which configuration of WLAN could cause this? Does Google do not have this documented?
i feel your pain, been there
it could be your router, from the way it assigns ip addresses to your type of encryption. by any chance is it a linksys G router? that was my problem before until i just decided to get an N router.
did you try switching to WEP or open to see if the problem persists? or changing your gateway ip address? or changing which ch your wifi is on?
never hurts to try
Should factory reset your router and upgrade firmware first, then immediately connect to it without encryption and see if it work.
I have no issues wireless tethering my Nexus 6P and getting my tablet to connect to the portable hotspot. However when I try tk connect my laptop to the wireless hotspot , my laptop connects, but since it requires Cisco AnyConnect VPN to be used as well, that portion always seems to fail.
I have Verizon and never had this issue on any of my previous phones, and am wondering if it's something to do with Marshmallow. I tried to go to developer options and select 'Use Legacy DHCP client", but that doesn't seem to work.
I was wondering does anyone have any thoughts on what to try with this or maybe someone out there was able to get it working?
Thanks in advance!

Are you saying your phone or laptop requires Cisco AnyConnect to be used? I guess the first question is why do you need to use this, and can you try it without using the VPN?

It is my work laptop and the way it seems that it is setup, it is required to connect. I tried to skip the VPN and while it says it's connected on not able to pull up any sites. My personal laptop (without vpn) seems to work fine.

Did you try using the USB tethering option to see if that works?

Try to connect and look in the logs. Might give you some more info as to what is happening.

Having same issue (except VPN is NetMotion)
I'm also on verizon. It worked just fine until I got an upgraded work laptop (HP EliteBook). That PC can connect to (it seems) any wifi *but* my N6P hotspot (and likewise, my personal laptop can connect to N6P wifi hotspot no problem). USB tether does work, but I really need hands-free (am often wanting to use laptop on the bus during my commute). Bluetooth is disabled on the laptop by corporate IT (who also says they can't support me w/this problem (which is some BS, but whatevs)).
So--subscribing to this thread. I'm hoping some networking whiz can help us figure out what's up.
FoxFi app may work...
Replying now w/laptop connected to the hotspot created by the FoxFi app. It seems to work. So that may be worth trying.
FoxFi not a fix, but March update seems to have been

Nope--FoxFi was not a fix (and after I coughed up for the 'pro' key version of it, seemed to just be an alternate UI for the native android tether function).
But since getting the March update wifi tethering is working again for me. Not sure if there was something in that update (I think the changelog mentions 'provider fixes' or some such) or if some bit of cached code just needed reaming out or what, but I'm happy at any rate.
I'm having the same issues. Work laptop will connect to hotspot but no internet. Personal laptop and other devices work just fine. Weird thing is that the work laptop might work long enough to load one web page then I get the "click here to fix internet connection". Even weirder, if I put my sim card in my old rooted GS4, tethering works on my work laptop! I am convinced it is something to do with the 6P.

Figured it out. Go to Settings >> cellular networks >> enhanced 4glte and disable it.
Works every time now.
I've been having issues with my wifi direct remote lately. My remote would not respond after awhile. The only thing that would fix it was to restart the fire TV. It will work for awhile, then same issue occur. I'm running Ethernet, not wifi off the 5ghz band.
Here's what I did to fix my issue. I unplugged the Ethernet and logged onto my 2.4 GHz band, then plugged the Ethernet cable back. Haven't had remote issues since. It's been a week since I had issues. I don't know if the issue would or when it would come back. Try this if you are having issues with your wifi direct remote, while using Ethernet. My guess is there is an issue with the 5ghz band and wifi direct.

Android O has created wifi drop issues with the Nexus player
Really? How?
All of a sudden mine does not see my 5Ghz channel.
On both of mine with the so called 'stable' final release of oreo they are now paperweights... wifi is flakey and regularly drops mainly when connected to my asus (funny considering its a asus product) router.
Also when that's happening it half crashes the wifi on the router until both units are unplugged... have tried wiping both players and the router and it persists.
If this isn't fixed in a update (that ill have to sideload) i got paperweights unless i use otg eithernet adapters.
Not exactly the QC I had hoped to get from google
Edit: Confirmed that it works perfectly via the old usb2 apple eithernet adapter
FYI here are network adapters that i can confirm work.. Apple® USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704LL/A) and D-Link DUB-E100
Even in beta and stable the same problem. After reboot it loses wifi and I have to insert password again

I just upgraded to Oreo and i am having the same issue. My 5ghz APs are no longer visible to the Nexus Player.
I rebooted the routers and factory reset the NP, but it will no longer work with 5ghz. The 2.4ghz works, but the speeds are slower and it buffers with some videos.
Anyone figure this out? The version 8.0.0.
Hoping for a fix so i don't have to rollback.
hmmm...didnt think that buffering problem is because of wifi ...same thing here..

I actually experienced the exactly same thing recently right after my nexus player updated itself to 8.0. Nexus drop WiFi and can’t find 5ghz. I read many posts related and many solutions. I tried to clear cliche data, stop wps option in my modem/router, because it would randomly assigned new passwords. I change Lan to ipv4 only then enabled ipv6 back since I noticed it was not the reason....still WiFi dropped now and then. I have to restart my modem painfully and irritated. Till today I read something about frequency of 5ghz may relate to this. I found my 5ghz is fixed channel then I changed it to “auto” as 2.4ghz. After rebooting the modem, Wala, everything works. The voice search function works too with high speed internet.

I don't think you understand. The problem is the 5ghz wifi no longer works. Your "solution" was already mentioned above. That isn't a solution, the 5ghz wifi still doesn't work after the upgrade.
I am considering downgrading since they aren't any help. The video buffering because i am using 2.4ghz wifi isn't acceptable.
I have the same problem as the original post. After Oreo update, Player can see 5GHz Wifi, but it will drop out once in a while, randomly. Usually it seems to re-connect in a few seconds, but it is already too late and the playback is paused (very annoying). My router is running DD-WRT.
Is there a known fix or work-around for this problem yet, other than side-loading a lower version?
Thx
I am suffering this same issue and the remote is laggy. It started after the Oreo update. I also saw 500 Mbps bouncing around my LAN. At points my AC access points were shutting down. That all had quit, but the wifi issues remain. I do see 5ghz and 2.4, but often get, "WiFi has no internet connection" and streaming quits.
I contacted Google this afternoon, was transferred, no freaking joke, 7 times. They then just referred me to Asus, and refused any further support.
Google has fallen a long way in a very short amount of time. Their support is now abysmal, and all off shore.
Came here looking for this, it can see and connect to 5ghz but both are in and out and video is stuttering. Anyone have a recommended lower version? Or can someone suggest another box that has good bluetooth audio output?
Apologies if this is already known, but I couldn't find anything on it when searching.
Many years ago I bought the paid version of FoxFi when I had my Razr before root options were available. On a whim, I installed it to see if the USB tethering would work with PdaNet. Not only did I find that USB tethering works, but WiFi direct also works under the PdaNet options. I know this isn't a totally free option (I think the free version of FoxFi either limits total data and/or turns off intermittently), but it does work very well. You can also download PdaNet for your computer from your phone and transfer it via USB cable - so you can still make this work if you have no other internet connection than your phone. Hope this helps.

I also have the paid version and have been trying to get it to work with my Firestick with no luck... I looked for a tutorial on how to set it up but couldn't find one. I tried WPS and inputting the password manually. What did your successfully connect to?

PdaNet seems to have to be installed on the client device. In my case a computer. PDANet can be downloaded from PDANet.co (not .com). To my knowledge PdaNet only works on Mac, Windows, and Android - so a TV (if that's what you're using) may not work. I am currently posting this from my computer using PdaNet + FoxFi as it's the only internet connection I have available during the week.
I didn't have any luck with the WPS - not sure where the issue is/was, but entering the password in manually has been very trouble free. I can watch Netflix and Youtube without issue, but Twitch seems to have some issues. I haven't tried gaming yet (though the connection was good enough to get my games updated) - but hope to soon.

Cool, yes, I got it working on a windows computer, but wasn't able to get it to work on the Firestick streaming device. Not a TV.
Can you use Wi-Fi Direct to your PC and then use the WiFi share function to your firestick?
If you have Windows 10 on your PC you can usb tether (or wifi direct) the computer to your phones internet, then use the windows 10 mobile hotspot option to broadcast the signal to your other devices. I have my firestick hooked up with this setup, and my Xbox 1 too.
---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------
If you don't have Windows 10 you can tether your PC, then go to network and sharing center, click on change adapter settings, then right click the tethered connection with internet, hit properties, then the sharing tab, click the box on that says "allow other network users blah blah blah", then select the other connection that you wish to have internet. Before I started using Windows 10 this is how I would hook up my Xbox 1 through the Ethernet connection via PDANET+ usb tether. Works perfectly.
So I noticed it doesn't work on the Sticks. But it does work on the Pendant and Cube. The latter devices show a VPN prompt on the first time. I think that may have something to do with it.
