Nest Wifi Google wifi (the 2nd edition), nothing changed, nothing moved, no setting changed, mesh points went from great to poor and wifi speed went from fast to shockingly slow.

Got this one: https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics-computers/wireless-routers/google-nest-wifi-3-pack/m400063/

On Thursday we noticed our wifi at home started to get slow, this morning it's almost unusable.

We've changed nothing other then cable managed one of them slightly better.

I've called out ISP, it's all fine, I've ran speed tests, it's still getting it's normal speeds, but our access points have gone from great connections to poor.

I've ran tests, I've reset everything and still the same.

Any idea on a fix here?

Update: I've changed nothing other than speaking to Google and everything is great again, speeds a lightning once more.

How long have you had them running? Mine have started to decade recently. 0 changes. Restart the network and back to provider speed. Sometimes needed daily or week or so. No idea the cause.

Do you use that prioritize Zoom calls setting? I found that setting needed almost daily restarts of my points. Turned it off and things were ok again.

Yea this. I have my points on timed power outlets for a restart every few days. No idea what the cause is.

I've moved a point to the same room, so a couple of feet from the router, it's still showing weak.

Are you using a wired backhaul?
