Hi Richardmn,

I'm sorry to hear that out of your multiple Nest speakers, the only one that constantly drops radio stations when playing BBC radio 4 or 3 is your Nest Hub. Let's find the solution for this. What Nest Hub do you have there? Was it working before? If yes, when did this concern started?

Try these: move your Nest Hub near your router, preferably around 5 ft or much closer. Do a sequential reboot starting with your router then followed by your Nest Hub. Restarting your phone might also help.

Keep me posted.

Best,

Dan

Hi Dan thank you for your help. I'm sorry I haven't replied I am away till Friday so will be able to try it then

 I did wonder if the WiFi signal was weKer in that room but no other device has a problem in there and a WiFi signal meter shows its a strong there, or in some cases stronger, than other rooms where Google devices workk fine

Hi Richardmn,
 

We got it. Thanks for the details you provided. A good Wi-Fi signal is another factor that we need to consider as well. Try to move the Nest Hub near the router then observe if this will make any difference. We’ll keep this thread open for 3 days and wait for your update.
 

Thanks,

Juni

Hi. I have tried moving the hub nearer to the router putting it in the same room but this made no difference

Hi Richardmn,

 

Thanks for trying. It looks like the issue is isolated on BBC. Have you tried reaching out to team to check if they receive similar reports?
