    new nest hub max keeps dropping internet connection

    It automatically updates itself when starting the setup process. So the software should only be about 4 days old if it doesn't auto check for updates. I am going to put it directly beside the WiFi router to see if that helps Also, I guess there might be a router setting on my network that is...

    new nest hub max keeps dropping internet connection

    I just got the new large screen Google nest hub max. It is replacing the 7" Google nest hub, in fact in the exact same location with the same WiFi network and everything else status quo My point is that this new nest hub max keeps dropping the Wi-Fi internet connection. It's very frustrating...
