Audio breaks up from Google doorbell (battery) to Google hub (gen 2)

HazeWare

When Im talking from the Google doorbell (battery) to Google hub (Gen 2) the sound drops out frequently so that you cannot understand what is being said through the Google hub (doorbell speaker is fine).  I have a ASUS 802.11ax WiFi6, which is connecting to the doorbell @ 5GHz 802.11n and to the hub @ 5GHz 802.11ac.  The router is about 15 feet from the doorbell and about 20 feet from the hub, any fixes please?

I have the same problem, in the other devices I hear the audio fine except in the Google hub (Gen 2) and I already did a factory reset but it didn't fix it.

Any suggestions to solve the problem?? before returning the product

Same problem and no solution. I prefer to return the product.

The Nest Hub Max works perfect with the doorbell, but is very expensive for all rooms.

Hi, 

 

Im still having this issue, I tried to factory reset the google hub and google doorbell multiple times, I've updated the firmware on both devices, I've also factory reset my router.  The sound drops out frequently so that you cannot understand what is being said through the Google hub

I returned mine and ended up using an old Nexus 5x on an  magnetic mount on the fridge, works great! (anything but a 2nd gen nest hub works without issue) 

For those who have kept theirs a form submission shouldn't be needed; this is not an intermittent issue; it can be consistently reproduced.   Anytime a user uses the mic on the nest doorbell via a nest hub 2nd gen, the audio and video stutter.

Work on a update/fix and test until the consistently reproducible issue is addressed, then make it available to the public; everyone here would be grateful.

Same issue same two devices (bought them today)

  • Recordings are clean (clean audio and video)
  • Phones do two way without issue (two pixel 5s and and iphone)
  • Ipad does two way without issue

The choppy / unusable two way is specific to the hub 2nd gen.  

I have

  • Reset it
  • Put it on the 2ghz
  • Put it on the 5ghz
  • Restarted it
  • Restarted all my APs
  • Restarted the AP controller
  • Cycled the modem

We have gigabit to the house, and I just tested and getting 960 down and 30 up.

This really is an issue with how google is delivering the stream to this device, specifically.

Ill consider returning the hub for a max (because everything but the hub second gen seems to work) but sheesh google.  

There is no way they aren't aware of this.

An ETA on resolution would be nice

 

I kinda gave up, I've done everything that google search has provided, but no answer!!!  Now, I about to fill out a form
