Can't get above 40 Mbps download but still have 358 upload. Google absolutely no help. Just started this week. Anybody else having this problem and found a solution?

Hey Hggrh,

Thanks for posting — let's see what's going on. 

A few questions: 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:
 

  • If you're using a modem/router combo, set that to bridge mode to avoid double NAT issues.
  • 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.
  • Remove any special characters in your network name and password.
  • Turn off IPv6.
  • 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. You may skip this step if you’ve done it already.
  • Unplug the power from your Google Wifi devices for 2 minutes. You can skip this step if you’ve done it already
  • If the issue persists, try factory resetting your network. Take note that this will delete all network data.

Let us know how it goes.


Best,
Abi
