The googles Wi-fi is blocking my Android devices I cannot update my apps on my mobile I have a Samsung Mobile and a Motorola Mobile my TV is a Sony but I can update on an iPhone. When I turn off Google's Wi-fi and start the older Wi-fi system everything works well I have turn off the firewall but that made no change, can anyone help.

Hey Mackeoin,

Thanks for posting — let's see what's going on.

A few questions: has there been any changes on your network configuration? Also, when was the last time your phone worked with your Google Wifi network?

Give these steps a try:
Forget your Google Wifi network and reconnect it. Check if your phone has DNS hosting enabled. If so, disable it.
If the issue persists, factory reset your network and use a new network name and password.

Cheers,
Abi

Hello Abigail!

Thank you for your comments. Sorry for not coming back sooner. I tried all your suggestions including a factory reset but I did not give the network a new name. I will try that next week. I still think it is very odd that my iphone works perfactly but not my Android. Its seems to have something to do with Google vs Android I can not find any help to solve the problem on internet and find it hard to believe that I am the only person with this problem in the whole wide world.

Let us know if there are any changes once you've given your network a new name and password. I'll keep this thread open, but please be advised that as Community specialists, we occasionally do a bit of housekeeping to keep the conversations in our community fresh and relevant.
