Re: Can't connect Google Mini to T-Mobile Home Internet
I finally got my Nest speaker groups to work by using my own router. I factory reset my ASUS router and connected my Nest devices on its 2.4Ghz band. I turned off each 2.4Ghz SSID on the internet gateway, but use it's 5Ghz band for my computers and Chromecast 4k, because the speed is so much greater. I would have preferred to use T-Mobile's internet gateway alone, but it just wouldn't work that way.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Can't connect Google Mini to T-Mobile Home Internet

Even if one speaker or device connected to Google home is on a different band then it will throw everything off. This includes your smart phone, tablet, Chromecast and/or Chromebook in my case. Essentially i use the 2.4ghz band for all Google stuff (even though Google claims it works on 5. It does but with caveats). Anything that uses your Google home should be on 2.4ghz. i have wifi bulbs and smart plugs that aren't Google but are controlled by Home so those are on 2.4ghz as well. I use the 5ghz band for everything else...my work VPN, LG TV etc. Thank you for your suggestion, but my speaker groups still won't function. I moved all devices to the same 2.4Ghz network, and even deactivated every 5Ghz SSID, and still can only cast to one device at a time. My gateway has the 1609 firmware, not the newest0.2103.00.0338 version. Maybe I will try going back to myASUS router, but the last time I did that in December, mydownload speeds dropped from well over 100 Mbpsto an unusable .7 Mbps.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Can't connect Google Mini to T-Mobile Home Internet

I set up the 2.4 network thinking that would fix it (since that's how it works with my current ISP) but no dice. Support from Google and TMO can't really figure it out either. I have this same issue. I've tried so many things, including factory resetting all my nest speakers, and they never work in groups, but each works perfectly on it's own. There's something odd going on either with Google or T-Mobile that is keeping speaker groups from working, but I can't find any solution. Does anyone have speaker groups that do work with the home internet gateway?1Ver0likes0Comentarios
