Nest X doesn't register low battery and has to be reset if router restarts

Hi

My Nest X is a couple of years old and has always had two problems.

1 When I put new batteries in, it says battery is 'ok'. After only 4 months, it still says 'ok' but I start losing connectivity. Change the batteries an full connectivity again. There was no low battery warning.

2 If my router restarts, the only way to reconnect it is sometimes to restart the lock, mostly have to factory reset it. It rarely reconnects itsely. This may be connected with the batteries being low enough to affect connectivity but strong enough to show as ok.

I use top quality Duracells or Energiser

The Connect, lock, and Nest doorbell are all within 10 feet of each other with no obstructions bar a wooden door. The router is 20 feet from the Connect obstructed only by floorboards.

Whilst I'm here, whenever I have tried to answer the doorbell in the app I always get a spinning circle.

I have strong 200Mb internet

Connection still problematic. 

Low battery still appears as 'ok' giving mostly offline. Battery lasts 4 months.

Yesterday I hade to make some network changes and ended up having to factory reset both the yale and the connect, then remove and re-add the devices before it would connect
