It's already hanging down below the TV with line of sight to the wifi router! 

 

Not sure what more it needs.

 

It is an old TV so I wondered if the USB was just not supplying enough power but even plugged it into a wall plug and it was the same.

 

You would think Google Wifi would know how to talk to a Chromecast. lol

 

No other streaming is an issue for me (LG app on smart tv, Amazon Fire stick)

 

Weird.

 

Until 2 days ago, I was using a Google Wifi setup.

 

Not sure what's unique in your case.  Must be something though.
