I cannot get my Stadia controllers to connect to Chromecast on my TV. I have factory reset them and connected them to WiFi but when I enter the pairing code they just flash orange and rumble. I also tried that after rebooting the Chromecast device. What can I do?
Hi @EdShober - Sorry to hear you're having this issue. One idea I had is to try to factory reset your Chromecast instead of just a reboot. Here is how you do that: While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press then hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED should start to blink yellow. When the LED light turns solid white, release the button, and the Chromecast should then reset.
Hope this helps!
As I mentioned in my reply above, factory resetting the Chromecast Ultra fixed the problem. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions!
BTW, I have Google nest wifi.
@EdShober I know you mentioned that you already tried factory reset, but just want to make sure that you're not missing any steps, here's a reference on some troubleshooting steps for Stadia controller. Perhaps you can take a look and see if there are steps you haven't tried?

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately they didn't work for me.

So, I tried this suggestion after nothing else worked. It wasn't as hard as I'd thought to get the Ultra set up again. It fixed the problem! Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried most of them with no effect. I need to check my Google Nest WiFi settings although this used to work a while ago and I haven't changed anything I'm aware of. I haven't factory reset my Chromcast device either. I'll do these things and see...
