Nest Wifi, 13729.57.27.
We have the Nest Wifi router and 2 points, with various devices connecting to all 3. About every day or two, we will start to see very odd behavior... unexplained slowdowns and weird wifi link speeds.
Symptoms
Troubleshooting done
We have also performed a "Factory reset network" from the Home app, but issue returns after a day or two with same symptoms.
Conclusion
A defect within the Nest Wifi (hardware/software, tough to say) causes wifi connectivity to become permanently unstable (connected devices report confusing link speeds, very poor performance). Only a restart of the router corrects the issue, but happens multiple times per week.
Anyone run into anything like this before?
Thanks.

Sort all Nest Wifi threads on most commented, and you can see that many people experience similar things with given firmware:
One thing worth trying though, is to disable all preferred activities (QoS basically):

Hi,
Yes. Here is another thread on the issue. It's a real problem and I am hoping for an addition to the app that allows for an auto-reboot overnight on selected intervals.
