Please rectify as soon as possible

Hey, everyone.
It looks like we've slowed down here again. We'll be closing up the thread unless anyone else has any input or needs anything else. If so, just let me know and we can keep this open a bit longer.
Thanks.

I have had the same issue since last week. Only way to fix is to restart the primary mesh wifi point. and it comes good for a few hours. then it drops again the next day. have had no such issue for the past year. Here is what i found on the google home app in regards to my wifi info:
software version 14150.43.80
model:h2d

Hi,

Next time it occurs try running an internet speed test from the Google Home App. Then try trying a test from a client again.
There seems to be a bug in the recent firmware and running the speed test "resets" whatever slowdown there is. It does however return over the next 24 hours from what I'm seeing.

Agreed there seems to be a bug in the latest upgrade.
I have run the speed test from both the Google Home app as well as from my PC connected to the Google wifi but both seem to be around the same. Occasionally I get the full download speed.
Interestingly the upload has not been effected as it still reads almost the same as the download.

Hi, everyone.
Sorry about the speed inconsistencies you're all seeing. There can be a lot of factors that go into network performance, but obviously it's quite frustrating when speed isn't reliable. If you have already referenced our help article, there are a few more things you can try. First, take a look at this help article: https://bit.ly/3lyrHjm.
If you have tried those steps, there are a few more things to check or try.
If you're still seeing issues after referring to the article and trying the above mentioned steps, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Jeff, I’ve done everything suggested, factory reset, etc. but still have the problem. My speed at the modem is around 100mbps but from the mesh only around 49-50 mbps. Previous to the software upgrade around March the speed was in the high 90’s, so I believe the problem only showed up after upgrade.
So frustrating that I’m considering changing to a different mesh manufacturer.
cheers

Hi, Jamstone.
As an update, I spoke with an internal team today and the issue is being looked into. While I don't have any information about a time frame for a fix or an update, I do know that this is something being looked at now. I'll update things once I have more info to share.
Thanks.

Hey, all.
As we wait for an update, one thing I have been told is that swapping the ethernet cable that goes from your modem to your router can help. We have seen a few users try this and report good results. It's not a fix all solution, but it's been effective in some cases. It's definitely worth giving a try.
Thanks.

Found a temp workaround for my case. Restarting daily on a timer power board.
