I have had my Google Nest Mini (2nd gen) for about 2 years now. It worked great for the first year and now repeatedly unlinks, has wifi issues, goes completely unresponsive, etc. How often this happens is variable (between a every couple of weeks to everyday). However, when it disconnects, most of the time (>90%) it'll show a new Nest device with a new ID number associated with it for which I have to complete a new set-up to get it working again. Do I need to assign it to a static IP?? What causes this new ID to show up? I have now been trying to troubleshoot my speaker for the last two days. I have done two factory resets and two unplug/reboots. Today, it told me, "Cannot communicate with Nest Mini" after I selected the wifi (which is working), so I completed a factory reset. It now is completely not allowing any bit of a set-up. I am extremely frustrated and irritated, as when it works, it works very well and I enjoy it very much; but now I just want to trash this device and never buy another Google device. None of my friends with Alexa ever run into these problems, yet a Google search yields tons of hits with users experiencing identical problems as I am. This just isn't right. Any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.
