I had similar problem before and turn out the Stadia controller needed a firmware update, unfortunately which is only achievable if the controller is connected to wifi.

Solution: Need 2 phones A and B.

1.) setup hotspot on A
2.) connect B to A's hotspot
3.) use B's Stadia app to connect the controller to A's hotspot.
4.) once 3 is successful, the app will update the Stadia controller with new software.
5.) after the software update, turn off A's hotspot and connect B back to ur home WIFI
6.) wait a bit and the Stadia controller will revert back to blinking orange light and ready to be pair and connect again to your home WIFI, this time it will work since it has the newer firmware.

It did work for me. Hope it helps the others.

Got the same problem. Chromecast Ultra connected to the wifi, Stadia app on my pixel 3xl found the controller but can't bring it on wifi. Tried reboot router, reboot phone, reset controller, nothing works.
