I have almost all types of Google Home devices connected to my Orbi RBK852 with no issue:

  • 2 x Google Home
  • 3 x Google Home Mini
  • 1 x Google Nest Mini
  • 3 x Google Nest Hub

Most of the time i see those devices connected to the 5GHz band. I have AX enabled.

  1. What modem/router do you have between Orbi and your ISP? Please check for double NAT.
  2. On the Google Home devices, please disable "Let others control your cast media" since this will make the each device broadcast it's own SSID which can cause much interference if you have many Google Home devices. I noticed that this can cause other devices at home not to work properly.
