On your main internet router modem, change the Wireless LAN Security Encryption type from WPA+TKIP to WPA2+AES only and reboot.
Then, when wifi is back up, power cycle the Wi-Fi Extender to pick up the new Wireless WPA2+AES.
Then, factory reset the Google Chromecast and setup.
This time, it will work!
