Chromecast 2 restarting automatically

I got this one ( Chromecast ) hardly a month back. It used to work flawlessly since today. Suddenly, it restarted more than 5 times in its 2-hour use today. I got fed up and stopped using it

Is it a flawed piece I got ? Should I try a return to Flipkart ? What are the procedures ?
 
Few suggestions -
Is the power supply to Chromecast fetched from TV or other device USB? Without adequate power I have seen my Chromecast / fire stick getting restarted. Try using the power adapter provided with it. Also, try resetting it, could resolve the issue.
 
OT
My problem with chrome cast 2 is that YouTube never plays on HD on my TV whereas on my mobile it has no problem with full hd with no pause .
Fyi I have a 25 Mbps cable internet .
So no problems with bandwidth I guess .
 
It is not just wifi that is getting disconnected. The whole screen goes blank as if the device is switched off ( maybe, it is ). I could see the boot animation when it restarts automatically within a minute

but looks easy

I just tried resetting using the hardware button. Let's see how it fares.

You need to upgrade the chromecast firmware. It is a chromecast firmware issue where it suddenly starts bombarding your router with DOS type requests and becomes unresponsive also bringing the router down.
Check the links which I posted above. Google has fixed that issue now.

The screen goes blank and then Google " G " boot animation comes in a minute. No luck even after resetting using hardware button

Internet, TV and router works fine. I will check those links though. Thanks.
 
Change power adapter and micro sd cable. I am quite sure, it will fix the issues.

I had a Chromecast Adapter which was faulty. I used it with Jiofi (without battery) and Jiofi was restarting every few minutes. Used another charger and the problem solved.
