How to block my Home and Nest speakers from being accessed

[tmd63]

I have Google Home Mini and Nest Mini speakers, but they are open for anyone to access and hack. This appears to be a back door onto my home WiFi network as the network keeps getting blocked or overloaded and I am having to shutdown my router every week to restore my own home connections.

How do I stops unauthorized direct access to my Nest and Home speakers from outside attacks?

I see wifi networks like NestSpeaker.io on my WiFi sniffer. And these are the attack points.
