I just got the Google Wifi routers (1 hub and 2 satellite routers). I went thru the installation process. I am able to connect to the Hub router. However, the Hub router along with the 2 Satellite routers show offline on the Google Home app. I can see the Hub router on my devices wifi setting but not the satellite routers.
Any help/advice will be appreciated.

just follow the instructions to reset and repair

Hi folks,
@ponyboy3, thanks for the help!
@akumar and Annie163, thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Google Wifi points. I'd love to know more about this and I have a few questions:
To isolate the issue, please try resetting the points and try setting them up again. You can click on this link to learn more about this.
Thanks,

Everything you have mentioned I have done. , factory reset several times. With no luck. The main router is showing offline each and every time. Yet mesh points are connected and online. Internet fires stop out every now and then.

Hi Annie163,
Thanks for the response. When you say that the main router is showing offline, is it just on the app or does the light status indicate that it's offline? Also to isolate the issue, could you try changing the DNS: Here's how:

Now everything is showing offline in the app.
This is now becoming so annoying.
08-26-2022 07:58 PM
Hi Annie163,
Thanks for the response. Does the status light of your Google Wifi devices change when it goes offline? Could you try doing a 2 minute power cycle on all of your Google Wifi devices?
Thanks,
Edward

I have done this several times. I’ve restarted, factory restart, connected all wi do and mesh pints over 5 times now and still no luck.

I’ve done this several times. I’ve restarted. Done a factory reset, reconfigured all points and devices and no luck.
08-31-2022 05:09 PM
Hi Annie163,
Thanks for the update. Just to clarify, could you still connect your devices to your Google Wifi even if they're showing offline in the app? Also, are you using a modem / router combo?
Thanks,
Edward

Hi Annie163,
Thanks for the response. Is your Telstra router also broadcasting a Wifi signal? If so, I would suggest reaching out to your ISP to enable bridge mode as in some cases, upstream routers can cause multiple issues that can result in slow speed, such as redirecting DNS, firewall blocking ports, improper port forwarding, double NAT, and preventing communication to Google servers.
Thanks,
Edward

I’m still awaiting a reply to the above. Hopefully in the next day or so I will have someone call me back. I will let you know.

Hi Annie163,
Thanks for the update. Let us know once you get the chance to reach out to your ISP to enable the bridge mode on your router.
Thanks,
Edward

I’m having the same issue. I have restarted the networks. Paired and repaired all devices and still the main router is showing offline.
I can’t even connect my door bell now. Please someone help. I’ve tried the call button but it says ball during business hours. I’m in Australia and at 3.30pm no one is available to chat to.
09-12-2022 03:00 PM
Hey Annie163,
I just wanted to check in as well and see if you had any luck with your ISP. Has anything changed on your end?
Thanks,
Jeff

I’m awaiting a new modem being sent out and will see if that is the issue
09-14-2022 03:30 PM
Thanks for letting me know, Annie163. We'll keep this open so that you can get the modem installed and try things out. Just let us know when you get a chance and we can pick things up then.
Thanks,
Jeff

Unfortunately no success. But only is it the router showing offline, but all google devices connected drop out more than before. Nothing seems to work as well as it did previously
09-19-2022 02:20 PM
09-19-2022 02:45 PM
As mentioned in my previous reply. It has not changed anything with the router showing offline. It still shows offline and continues to drop out.
I’d like to know what options are ahead
09-20-2022 11:16 AM
Hi Annie163,
Thanks for getting back to us.
The software update is rolling out now. It goes out in waves to devices and everyone will have it within the next 1-2 weeks. It really could land any day and you won't need to do anything to receive the update, it will download and install automatically for you. If you have other questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Mel
09-20-2022 01:10 PM
So what happens if the same issue happens in 1-2 weeks?? This has already gone on for over a month. Together with over two weeks of this messaging back and forth.
Frustration set in weeks ago.
09-20-2022 02:56 PM
Hi Annie163,
I'm sorry about this, I understand this has been frustrating for you. For now, I suggest waiting for the firmware update.
If this happens again after the update is installed on your device, please let us know so we can help out.
Thanks,
Mel

I feel that this is of no interest to anyone at Google. It seems no one is interested in “fixing” the issue. It’s questions after question after question.
now I’m being asked to wait until the update rolls out. Absolutely ridiculous. All I want is a system that works. I cannot run an effective business with internet that currently drops out for no apparent reason other than “an update will be out on the next 1-2 weeks”
Do I need to take this further than this chat??? Because I don’t feel I’m being “heard” properly
09-24-2022 12:25 PM
Hi Annie163,
I'm sorry that you feel that way. I assure you your feedback is important to us and we are dedicated in making sure you get the best our of your device which is why our team is rolling out the firmware update to make sure your devices are performing as expected.
Thanks for your patience.

Until the offline mode is fixed it isn’t fixed at all. Let’s see how this supposed update goes. But I have a feeling we will be the same position.

You have to be joking??!!! I have replied to each and every reply you’ve had for me. This has been going on for weeks. All I want is a router that is online and stops dropping out.
Not once out of all the troubleshooting you have given me has worked. Not you want me to wait for an update. Which to me will also do absolutely nothing and I am in no different position to what I am now.
I’d like a SOLUTION to the issue I’m having. Surely there has to be an option of a replacement router. All other points are online but as I have said numerous times they keep dropping out.
