Recently replaced my AC1700 router with a new Deco W7200. All devices connect fine, and most stay connected. But I have 4 Google speakers (1 old Google Home and 3 new Google Nest minis) that won't stay connected. They seemed to set up fine, but only stay connected for a day or so. When I say the wake word, they respond with the dreaded "Hold on while I connect to the internet" message. I have to unplug and replug it back in to force it to reconnect.
All my other devices are fine. It's just the 4 google speakers.
Any ideas?
Hi Tim,
What I would do first is turn off mesh on these speakers. This will ensure the speakers are not attempting to roam between nodes. To do this tap on the device on the client list, find the toggle for Mesh Technology. If this doesn't help let us know.
It keeps happening. If anything, it's getting worse. At least once a day all 4 Google speakers disconnect. By at different (random) times. No discernable pattern to the timing.
I turned on the notification feature in the Deco app to notify me every time any of the 4 devices drops connection. The newer Nest Audio tends to send a single message when it drops. Same with the older Google Home. But the two Nest Minis look like they drop multiple times withing a few minutes. I often get 8-12 message in a few minutes from them.
