We’ll assume, for the sake of the tutorial, that you are able to access the previous Wi-Fi network as well as the new one. If you’re unable to connect to the old one, you’ll need to do a factory reset. Than again select the network form the list.

Open the settings page. Tap the Wi-Fi network.
Select the new network from the dropdown menu. Enter network password. Save Note that you will find a message advising that your mobile device and Chromecast will not be on the same network.

I set it up fine and watched the first game with no problems.
Then my cable went out and I thought it was the Chromecast so I disconnected the Chromecast from my TV. After I found out it was the cable I reconnected the Chromecast but have since been unable to get the games on the TV. I can get them on my phone but not on the TV.
It will sometimes say it is casting and it will recognize the name I gave to chromecast but it won’t stream to the TV. I use the HDMI2 input channel. I called MLB and went through several “exercises” with them and they said the problem was with the chromecast.
