Nest mini Wi-Fi disconnecting daily

[richelm]

Nest mini speaker was disconnecting from my WiFi almost daily. I tried everything but the only solution was a factory reset. I tried the following solution 4 days ago and so far, so good so fingers crossed this solution works.

I set up the nest mini to work on the 2.4Ghz frequency of my TP-Link Archer C54 dual band router. All Android devices in my Home group network were also forced to use the 2.4Ghz WiFi by disabling the automatic connection to the 5Ghz connection. (2 x Android phones and 2 x Android TV's) Now everything is using the 2.4Ghz WiFi the Nest Mini has stayed connected.

@r00tsh3l It's a known issue and I couldn't find a solution anywhere. Hence the post.

Ya, I know. The only working solution from some years to now is to switch to Alexa. Unfortunately I have 8 problematic units here and I really don`t expect to have any solution from Google for this problem someday.

UPDATE: Not solved. Today I got the dreaded " I cannot find the Wi-Fi network" but after 8 days instead of daily, Strange how the nest mini worked okay for a couple of years before "developing" this fault. Alphabet really do need to sort this. I for sure will avoid their products in the future.

Just forget it. They will never solve this problem, in a brief search you can identify several other related complaints with no expectation of a solution. Just switch to Alexa and alert everyone you can when they think about purchasing equipment like this. They know the problem, they don't recognize it or resolve it, that's the worst thing.
