Google Nest Wifi Point Google Assistant not working anymore

s133py0n3 — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 00:52:52 GMT

Software version: 1.54.275951

Model: H2E

1. I am able to access the nest wifi point from google home app

2. I am able to access the settings although click on "audio" gives me a message that says "These settings are currently unavailable"

3. Running a mesh test says the Wifi point have a "great connection"

4. Internet is working fine

My issue is when I try to say "Hey/Ok Google" and ask it something it does not light up and respond. It no longer does anything. If I reset the Wifi point and set it back up again, it would work fine again for a few days before this happens again. This issue first started about a week or so ago and this is after the 2nd time resetting it I am reporting this issue.

Also, when turning the mic off/on it does respond saying as such. So it is clearly working besides the google assistance part.

How do I resolve this permanently? Resetting the wifi point constantly is not a fix.

My problem is the same, and it used to just not respond, except now whenever you say something it loudly instantly responds with "something went wrong" which goes away for a few hours if you reset the point, but then starts doing it again. I finally had to just disconnect it. $350 down the drain. Tried google chat help but nobody ever comes into the chat.

That doesn't give me much hope. Kind of gets annoying having to reset it every time. And for the simple fact this just started happening (and consistently every 2-3 days) in the past 2 weeks or so makes me wonder what went wrong. The only positive side of it is it is at least still broadcasting WIFI but I use the assistant to control my smart home devices so it kind of becomes useless.

Same issue - still works as a mesh wifi but all the google assistant features are broken on the points. Also it throttles my upload to 5mb on all devices. I bypassed that but what's the point of having the router.
