Spotify WiiM Pro Plus will only show up as a Chromecast Device in Spotify for Android

I should mention I'm a sysadmin so networking is not a foreign concept. Not a mesh network at all. Nearly everything is ethernet. It's just a standard Asus router. RT-AX88U Pro. If I disconnect from my LAN it does show up correctly as "On other networks". Spotify Connect works fine on Windows both with cast enabled and disabled on my LAN, the sole issue is on Android and toggling WiiM's DNS setting in either direction will kick it back on briefly when connected to my LAN. Obviously everything is fully patched. There is no modem to speak of, I have symmetrical gigabit fiber so an ONT based setup.

This is interesting! I have Asus Zen Wi-Fi XT8 mesh network and a Pixel 10 Pro. I was using Tidal (whilst also paying for Spotify) so was not really using Spotify Connect to my WiiM Pro, and everything was working flawlessly.

Now lossless is in Spotify I'll ditch Tidal to save some money, but have faced precisely the same issue as you with Spotify Connect not showing at all, or sometimes showing up as being on another network.

I've pinned my WiiM to an AP within WiiM rather than in the router.

I've turned Google Cast off on the WiiM, which seems to be helping. Keep us informed if you hear of a real fix to this.

How?

Settings, Network, Select MAC address of the AP.
