You have one job Chromecast! Google TV with Chromecast disconnects from Wifi after a day of inactivity

I have a Chromecast with TV (the first version that came with a white remote) that I've happily used for several years to stream music to. It uses HDMI CEC to turn my receiver on and everything has been hunky dory. I fire up Spotify, cast to the device the music starts playing.

A few months ago it started to disconnect from Wifi if I didn't use it for a day or so necessitating me needing to turn the receiver on, go to Settings and restart Wifi myself. A major regression in functionality and, arguably, the main point of using a Chromecast.

I updated the software, read the forums, turned energy optimization off for all the services (tedious) and it still exhibits the same behavior. I'm at a loss and kind of surprised that such core functionality would be compromised like this.

Has anybody else ran into the same issue? If so, have you been able to fix it?
