Speakers not always working together!

Gastoncat
Community Member

I have 3 small speakers 1st gen and a larger 1st gen. I have all 4 set up to play together if I ask for it. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn’t. Most cases one speaker will not work and at worst, only one will work. The idea of the speakers is to have music in every room in my home. I have. Even trying everything I could think of including resetting all the speakers. Is there anyone else who may have this same problem and how can I fix it??? It has been extremely frustrating

Hi Gastoncat,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. A few things I'd like to ask-- how far is the Google Home from the router? How many Google Nest speakers are currently set up in your home network? Let's make sure that the speakers are within range from the router for a good Wi-Fi connection preferrably within 15-20 feet away.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Best,

Princess

Hey Gastoncat,

 

I just wanted to follow up on this. Let us know if you still need help, and we're glad to assist you further.

Thanks for reaching out. My place is quite small so each speaker (I have 4) should be within 20 feet.

I want to add, 3 of the speakers are the smaller ones and 1 is the larger, all first generation.

Hi Gastoncat,

 

Thanks for the information. Please reboot your speakers and router by disconnecting them from the power source and leave them unplugged for 1 minute. Once done, plug them back one at a time with intervals. Let's see if your devices will have the same behavior.

 

Let me know once done.

 

Cheers,

Muddi

I apologize. I have been pretty busy this past couple of days. I will get on to resetting the speakers later.

The solution seems to have worked but I will reserve judgment a little later.

So far so good.
