Chromecasts are pretty solid
It's been a while since I've used a Chromecast, but they were always reliable.
I threw mine in the trash in less than a month, didn't even bother trying to resell it and just wanted it gone. What a pile of fucking shit that thing was. I spent more time troubleshooting than watching.
I have a gen 1 Chromecast that I use almost daily, such a beast
I heard that Google is about to drop support of their older chromecasts. (You might want to look into this to confirm though)
I hope not!
I can't say I had these problems back when I was using them, but that doesn't mean much because mine are sitting in a box somewhere and worthless since most TVs and streaming players support it now.
