Google home issues with RBK850 network
Since upgrading to the RBK850 wifi 6 mesh network devices I have had all kinds of issues with my Google Home devices. My biggest issue is with speaker groups: I have 11 speakers in a group and when I try to cast to them using a smartphone, or a computer, or a tablet It will cast to only some of the speakers. For a while my android devices would not even list the speaker groups but now they do but the casting jsut is not working properly. I think it has to do with which router or satellite the devices are connected to and which band they are on 2.4 or 5.0. Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

It may be a routing issue between the satellites vs. which wifi band. Does this solution work for you? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Mesh-System/Chromecast-and-Mesh-Routing-issues/td-p/1946485
The solution (for me and my AX1800, I hope it works for you)
1. Go to your routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1)2. Select Advanced Settings
3.Select Setup tab
4. Select LAN Setup
5. Scroll down to the "RIP Direction" section
6. Ensure "Both" is selected for "RIP Direction"
7. Select RIP_1 for "RIP Version"
Unfortunately that did not solve the issue. Thanks.
What FW version are you using?
Wanna try this?
