Re: Issues with linking your Stadia Controller?

Alright y’all, after countless hours over the last six months I figured it out by systematically changing one setting at a time on my ISL modem and TP-Link Deco WiFi mesh units.

I did the following two things and everything seemed to work:

I set my router's Primary and secondary DNS to Google's (Primary: 8.8.8.8, Secondary: 8.8.4.4).
Turned on "Bridge" mode in my ISP modem/router. I guess having this off was creating multiple NATs on my network. Turning it on allowed my WiFi to function on a single NAT.

Please try this and let me know if it helps any of you. Good luck.

Stadia Controller Support Request

The Issue:

My Stadia controller can connect to my Chromecast Ultra, but not my MacBook in the Chrome browser.
The controller is connected to the same WiFi network as my MacBook, but when I try pairing it to my MacBook, it pulses two orange lights and fails.

My Setup Stats:

MacBook Air
macOS Big Sur (build: )
3 Deco M5 WiFi mesh units producing a 2.4 & 5.0 network.

What I’ve Tried:

Paired my controller to my Chromecast (confirming it’s connected to the correct network).
Successfully casted from my MacBook’s Chrome browser to my Chromecast (confirming it’s on the correct network.
Turned off Bluetooth on my MacBook to ensure no interference with the connection.
Shut 2.4 network off and forced all devices to use 5.0.
Shut 5.0 network off and forced all devices to use 2.4.
Held Stadia button and Y until the controller’s pair light pulsed orange for WiFi connection and re-connected it to my WiFi.
Power-cycled my router, MacBook and controller.
Done the above about 5 feet from my router.
