Google Nest wifi download issue

[HanzAuldemoor]

Hi,

On my Google Nest wifi when I do a network test in Google Home app I get 0mbps on download and 270mbps upload and cannot access Internet. I should have approx 300 up/down.  When switching to my guest network and check with a 3rd party speed tester everything works fine. Anyone experienced similar issues?

Hi HanzAuldemoor,

That certainly isn’t the experience we want you to have, and we apologize for the delay. A few questions: are you using a modem/router combo from your Internet Service Provider (ISP)? Which Google/Nest router are we working with? What device are you using to set up your network (iOS or Android)? Do you have the Internet on your modem?
 

You can do a sequential reboot of your entire network and see if that helps, or please perform a 2-minute power cycle on your entire network to re-establish the connection on your connected devices. Here's how: 
 

1. Disconnect the power from the modem.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable and power cord from the parent point.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the child points.
4. Leave everything unplugged for 2 minutes.
5. Connect the power cord to the modem then to your router and points.

Also, you can give these steps a try:

1. If you're using a modem/router combo, set that to bridge mode to avoid double NAT issues.
2. 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.
3. Remove any special characters in your network name and password.
4. Turn off IPv6:
   1. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
   2. Tap the Wi-Fi coin  and then Settings.
   3. Scroll down and tap Advanced networking.
   4. Scroll down to IPv6.
   5. Toggle the switch off Toggle button off.
5. 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.
6. Unplug the power from your Google Wifi devices for 2 minutes.
7. If the issue persists, try factory resetting your network. Take note that this will delete all network data.

You may skip any step that you’ve done already.

Let us know how it goes.
 

Best,

Dan

Hi,

I use the Nest Wifi with my ISP router in bridge mode.

Anyway, I did try many of your suggestions without success, but a couple of days later it decided to work again so I do not know what sorted it. I am reluctant to do a factory reset on these devices as this has caused other issues before and it can be hard to get them set up again.

If issue resurface Ill get back to you.

Hello there,

I'm checking back to see if everything's good. Could you confirm if the issue has been resolved ever since it got itself working again?

Looking forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Dan
