LAN not working when no Internet

[neilm]

Does Google WiFi require an internet connection to function?

When I lost the internet - my local wifi LAN also stopped working 

[Ashepherdson]

No, if the internet drops your intranet should still work, I know mine does with nest wifi.

I am using Google WiFi - with Cloud Services - would that be the issue? 

Should I turn off cloud services ?

[Ashepherdson]

No that wouldn't make a difference.  What is it your are trying to do when your internet is down exactly? 

For example, I have a plex server locally, and if my ISP internet drops, I can still stream locally through plex.  With or without Cloud services.

My wifi router and access point both went offline when the internet went down - could not ping other computers nor use the networked printer

Hi, neilm.

When your Internet is down, are you able to see the network in your Home app? I know it won't show as connected to the Internet, but does it show up in the app at all?

Thanks.

Hello - thank you for following up - cannot say as my internet has not failed since

[Jeff]

Thanks for checking in with an update, neilm.

For now, I'll keep the thread open in case anything changes, but hopefully things remain stable.

Thanks.

Hi, jpfisk.

Would you mind letting me know how you have your LAN connections set up? Basically let me know what things look like coming from the modem into the router and from that point on.

Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks

Google Nest Wi-Fi Router and Nest Wi-Fi Points all say Offline and the LAN does not work for any device connected to it. Internet is down but why doesn’t the LAN work?
