WiFi System

For those not interested in a wall of text. TL;DR:After years of unreliable performance with smart home devices—including disconnecting speaker groups, Nest cameras dropping, and general network instability—you replaced your Nighthawk + extender setup with Nest WiFi Pro, only for it to get even wors

It’s very unclear what your problem is. The most important question: If you’re hardwired to your Ethernet jack (where the internet in the house comes in), is the internet reliable? If no, investigate different providers. Sonic or MonkeyBrains are probably the best in SF, if they’re available to you.

It's strange that people have polar opposite experiences with Google's Wifi routers, something is going on My Nest Wifi has been solid for 5 years I had it, though it is a single unit, no mesh.

Are any of your 45 connected devices near one of your pods so that you might connect them by ethernet? I recommend sorting that out (and buying some cheap unmanaged switches if you need multiple devices to be fed by a single pod) and then re-testing your phone's download speed. If you can get everyt

I use one

I have also use Verizon 5G Home WiFi and lost internet connectivity for my pods and nest speakers about a week or so ago and have been banging my head for hours and days trying to solve this. I followed your instructions praying for this to work but have not had success. I entered the port forwardin

You might want to check out this thread - many of our Nest Wifi pucks died because of an update a few weeks ago and several of us are still awaiting a fix: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleWiFi/comments/1s1j4da/google_nest_wifi_not_working_help_please/
