The wifi shows up as 'connected - no internet' and in the same listing one of the google home minis is listed as open and available to connect e.g. 'living room speaker.ynm'. I can get no internet access over the orbi wifi on any device when this happens. I've had to reboot the whole system and plug out the minis to get the main wifi back. The hard line cable from the orbi to the tv is working perfectly even when the wifi is down.
This is massively frustrating and I'm desperately seeking any solutions please. Does anyone know how to fix it?
I doubt your Google minis are the problem. You may wnat to consider your FW - past and present to include the last time there were updates performed and how they occured.
