Stadia controller not linking

Jump to Best Response

Hi there,

My controller will connect to my Chromecast okay, but when stadia launches it then asks me to link a stadia controller. The controller holds solid white. I've tried powering off/on, and holding to make sure it's not connecting to the last device automatically and I'm still getting the issue. Anybody had this problem, and can help a guy out please. 

 

Cheers.

Did you try hard resetting the Stadia controller to do a fresh setup?

Also on what WiFi do you have it connected? 
Somehow I have no problems with a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection but had some while on the 5 GHz WiFi.
So maybe worth a try to connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi if you had it connectect to a 5 GHz WiFi. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Actually I had this exact same issue consistently over the last few months then this week, suddenly, and for no apparent reason it seems to work fine again... if I work out why I’ll be sure to let you know, but at the moment I’ve no idea what finally solved the issue.

I was going to say the same. There was on controller update that for some reason lead to be not being able to reconnect the controller. The hard reset worked for me in this case.

I have the same issue myself. Connects to wifi but not to the stadia service.

Hi everyone,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If anyone still needs help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.
