Need help with XG v18 MR4 and Chromecast 3.0 configuration

Question

Hi, I need help. 
 I connected the chromecast 3.0 device to my home wifi network. I was able to configure it, but unfortunately it keeps disconnecting from the network or the connection is blocked. 
 I checked on a simple wi-fi router, Chromecast works fine, but if I move it to a network protected by Sophos XG (v18 MR4) it's disconnecting form services. 
 Could you please give me some ideas on how to set up the firewall step by step? 
 I tried the forum ways, but it doesn't work out very well.

 Could you please check if you have web filtering or DPI configured with firewall rule? 
 Thanks,

Thank you, H_Patel 
 Working! ;-) I discovered what the problem was. Chromecast doesn't have the ability to set a static IP. Therefore, you need to reduce the IP pool from DHCP and reserve one IP address for the Chromecast by binding it to the MAC address and perform the actions from your link.
