Hello CHAOSVIPER,
 

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

A quick question: are you using a modem/router combo from your Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
 

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.
  • Unplug the power from your Google Wifi devices for 2 minutes.
  • If the issue persists, try factory resetting your network
  • You can skip any step if you’ve done it already.

Let us know how it goes. If you’ve already done all the steps above and the issue persists, let me know so we can continue to help.


Best,
Abi
