Internet keeps going down

Marge — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 01:00:07 GMT

My google internet keeps disconnecting from the the internet. Google says it’s a known problem with no solution. They have been out twice in the last 2 days. They completely changed the equipment. They put in new stuff google guy said I might have to keep changing out equipment until one day maybe it stops or go down to a slower speed which I’m not willing to do. Help!

Hi Marge,

I wanted to jump in and see if I can help you get this sorted out. Can you check a few things for me to get us pointed in the right direction for some troubleshooting steps?

Do you have IPv6 enabled in your advanced networking settings in the Home app? If so, try disabling it.
When you run a mesh test, what are the results for the connection strength on your WiFi points?
Do you have a case ID number that support gave you? If so, can you share it with me?

I'll be happy to help you figure out what's happening here. I look forward to your reply.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hey there,

Thanks for the help, @Jeff
@m4tm0 and @Marge, are you using a modem/router combo from your Internet Service Provider (ISP)? How many devices are dropping from the network? Also, do you have any paused devices?

Give these steps a try:

If you're using a modem/router combo, set that to bridge mode to avoid double NAT issues.
Make sure that there is minimal to no interference (concrete, bulletproof glass, metal, mirror, etc.) and the points are no more than two rooms apart.
Remove any special characters in your network name and password.
Change your DNS server into 8.8.8.8 on the primary and 8.8.4.4 on the secondary server. Hit the save/ floppy disk icon on the upper right.
Unplug the power from your Google Wifi devices for 2 minutes.
If the issue persists, try factory resetting your network.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Mel

Hi,

Yes my modem is a router combo but I put it in bridge mode to prevent double NAT issues.
I tried setting the custom DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and still the same issue.

I will try next :

Resetting my modem to factory settings and reconfiguring and see if it helps.
Unplugging all my wifi points

Everything seems to happen since the 14150.376.32 update in september. Wifi still works but Internet is unreachable.

Additional network information :
3 points, all wired.

Router model is NLS-1304-25
Access point 1 model (garage) : GJ2CQ
Access point 2 model (kitchen) : NLS-1304-25

Regards,

@Jhonleanmel

My modem/router combo is in bridge mode to prevent double NAT issues.
I factory resetted it. ISP says my modem looks fine on their side.

However, the issue is still happening,
I will try factory resetting my Google WiFi network and let you know if that worked.

Regards,
