Any way to block devices from casting? I hate that my litter brother can cast on my chromecast in my room i had to take his tablet away because he thought it was hilarious to keep changing my google music to a stupid youtube video....smh
Buy a wireless router. Connect the WAN port on that router to your existing network. Configure your devices for said router. Don't give your little brother your WiFi password.Any way to block devices from casting?

Try to uninstall the setup app on his tablet. I think that will get rid of the button.
I would have no idea how to write these rules exactly, but if you have a Linux router you could:
- Assign a static DNS lease to Chromecast's MAC address
- Assign a static DNS lease to his tablet's MAC address
- Set up some iptables commands that discard all traffic directed from the tablet to Chromecast
- Or you could even go further and assign all your devices to a whitelisted range of IP addresses, configure the dynamic DNS range to be outside of that whitelist, and discard all traffic to Chromecast from outside the whitelist.
Alternatively it may be possible to segregate the network into two SSIDs that act as separate LANs.
I think you mean static IP...or even static DHCP entry...
But no, that linux configuration would not work. Once devices get each other's mac address, the traffic between the two does not go between the router, it is just switched.
Trust me.Sorry yes, I meant static DHCP. And you may be right - I don't know enough to say.
And if DD-WRT is set up to divide up into two SSIDs, is there any way to whitelist communication between the two networks?
