Speaker and Chromecast have become garbage

[PatrickGebhart]

All Google home products randomly disconnect from my network. When I can start playing something it randomly stops. When I reset speakers when they are reset to the network they usually immediately disappear. Had Google home products become complete garage or am I the only one.

Try restarting your Wifi router.

I have not only restarted my router but replaced it as well. This has no affect on the problems these products have had lately.

You're not the only one. Mine randomly disconnect while streaming music or videos, commands/automations that have worked for years recently have become hit-or-miss or stopped working completely. This has become a mess.

Hi all,

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I'm sorry to hear your Google Speaker and Chromecast are randomly disconnecting from your network because the music or video stops playing. I understand how concerning this may be, especially since this is happening with all your Google devices and resetting your network and even changing your router didn't resolve the issue. I appreciate the information you've shared and your troubleshooting efforts. Don't worry, let's work together to get this fixed. To better assist you, I have a few questions:

• What type of Google Speaker do you have? You can find the model in this article: Google Nest speakers and displays.
• What type of Chromecast do you have? This article can help you find the model: Chromecast and Google TV Streamer specifications.
• What's the firmware version of your Google speaker? You can use this article to find your device's firmware version.
• Are your Google devices and phone connected to the same Wi-Fi band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)?
• How far are your Google devices from your router?

@SmartHomeH-TAGS, thank you for jumping in.

Any additional details you can provide will be helpful.

Cheers,
Jonathan
