Direct connection between controler and chrome cast ultra

Jump to Best Response

Hi there

I have a very bad wifi.

My chrome cast is connectec through ethernet.

I would like the controler be able to connect directly to the chrome cast (and so use ethernet network in some words) instead of getting the wifi of the house which is very bad...

Any solution? Or suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Hello @Johanaza 

Using Ethernet for the Chromecast Ultra is always recommended. However, when using a Chromecast Ultra, the Stadia controller can only be played through WiFi. It doesn't need fantastic WiFi, since it only needs to be good enough to send the controller inputs reliably. But, it still needs to be available and reliable. The only suggestion I have is to pick up an inexpensive WiFi access point (if you use a router, make sure it's in bridge mode) and connect it to the same Ethernet that your Chromecast is connected to, then configure your Stadia controller to use that access point's WiFi. Essentially, you'd have a dedicated WiFi connection for your Stadia controller right where you want it to be (near the Chromecast Ultra).

Why not Zoidberg?

As I said, when using a Chromecast Ultra, the Stadia controller can only be played through WiFi. But, if you can play through a computer, phone, or tablet, you should be able to connect the Stadia controller through USB.
