Samsung phones lost ability to connect to Nest/Google Home devices

I've gone through 3 different Samsung phones with the same results. 

I'm able to add me devices to google home. For a short amount of time, I'm able to control, play music, access the devices from my phone. 

After an indeterminate amount of time I loose the ability to control my devices. 

When clicking on the device in Google Home, it will say Connecting... For approx 30 seconds them time out. 

When clicking on the gear setup for the device it will say "Some settings are available only when your mobile device and this Livingroom speaker are connected to the same Wi-Fi network"

I have confirmed that the devices are on the same WiFi, I've separated 2.4 vs 5 and insured that they are on the same band and radio. 

I've also performed the following troubleshooting to no avail:

- rebooting the phone;

- rebooting the Wifi network;

-un- and reinstalling Google Home app;

- turning of battery optimization for Google Home App;

- switching to Fly Mode and just enabling Wifi.

- I have also recreated this on 3 devices. Each phone has been reset to new, and fresh installs have been done.

The issue always reoccurs. 

This only happens with Google speakers/Nest Audio devices. My lights, TVs, even Nest thermostat work fine.
