Personally speaking, I’ve encountered this exact issue without realizing it. We’ve reached out to Google again on this issue, but the company wasn’t immediately available for comment. Our own setup, with a Nest Wifi at its core, also seems to suddenly be acting up again as well, and that’s after replacing the core network point. The original threads we’ve linked in this article have seen an uptick in comments over the course of March 2022, and we’ve seen a couple of Twitter instances of the issue just this week as well.

Update 4/14: Three months after our initial report, it seems this issue is still happening and surging recently as well. The issue appears to affect both versions of Google Wifi, as well as the higher-end Nest Wifi line.Īs far as we can see within this thread and responses from a “Community Specialist,” Google has not yet identified a fix for this problem, but some owners have been able to get hardware replacements, though that didn’t always fix the problem. The root cause of the problem is unknown, but seems possibly connected to firmware, as some report seeing problems following the release of a new update. Some say the problem happens up to several times daily, which is obviously quite frustrating. Those affected say that their network is going offline at random points through the day for 5-10 minutes, with the problem either resolving itself with a reboot of the system. In the months since, the post has received over 200 replies from other Google/Nest Wifi owners seeing similar behavior. However, over the past few months, some Nest Wifi and Google Wifi owners are reporting that their networks have been going offline at random for months, and it seems Google has no concrete fix.įirst reported all the way back in September, one Nest Wifi owner took to Google’s forums expressing frustration with their network randomly going offline.

Google’s Nest Wifi and Google Wifi routers make mesh setups easy and, for the most part, pretty reliable while being relatively cheap.
