That's why you buy your own router.

I'm using chromecast for streaming to my television. But I accidentally cut my internetcord and guess what doesn't work without internet eventhough it doesn't strictly need internet? Exactly, I'm getting rid of the chromecast soon.

It should be able to work on lan as well, in my opinion

Are you trying to cast or screen share? Screen share should work over LAN I think.

Screenshare does work over lan, according to the documentation, but the chromecast doesn't even start up properly. It onky says (full screen) there is no internet connection.
