I had some problems configuring and connecting my ChromeCast with a mobile device. Everything worked fine with my laptop, but when I tried to cast from my tablet or phone my connection kept dropping.
I figured out that it had to do with my dual band router. My router (Asus RT-AC56u) supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. When I disabled the 5 GHz, everything worked like a charm.
It seems that a ChromeCast only supports 2.4 GHz, so you have to be sure that your mobile device is connected through te same network.
It's also bad practice to name both your networks (2.4 and 5) the same, this can give connection errors like connections that are temporarily unavailable or a very low speeds.
