First, the time google wifi purchase. I was looking forward to fixing all my wifi dead spots and fixing multi-room audio with my other nest speakers. While it's made multi-room audio work better, everything else is significantly less stable than my previous TP-Link Mesh network. Wifi often becomes slow for other devices on the network when streaming video. Devices prioritization sucks. It'll be fast and then slow all the time for no reason. Still have issues with multi-room audio, and nest devices get disconnected from the network. I booted up my laptop to play Jackbox TV, and people had to disconnect from wifi to have the game load properly. I thought google wifi was supposed to work, but this has been a very disappointing experience, and now I'm out of my return window. Google needs to address these issues and update us on future firmware releases. Plenty of people have had horrible experiences with these products. The product now only has a 3.7 on amazon, with 17% of reviewers giving a one-star rating. I should have researched more before spending so much money on this system. The Nest team needs to get to work and fix the wifi.

Hey Luke8,
Thanks for posting — let's see what's going on.
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:
Let us know how it goes.
Best,
Abi
