Hi,
I am pleased to confirm that hotfix firmware version 1.0.9.26 has been working well with all my devices including my one Google Home smart speaker.
Hi,
Wifi problems are persisting.
Not everything seems to get disconnected, my Roku and Google Home seem to be in service but my 6 Amazon Echo devices, all Apple devices, all Android devices and all Nest Devices go offline, 1 or 2 times a day. It is getting very annoying!
Using the hard button on the router to switch WiFi off then on again gets everything to reconnect again.
I have noticed that following the period of WiFi problems the 5GHz channel moves from my setting (60) to 45 but the 2.4GHz setting is still as I set it (11).
Any suggestions please
Hi dvwebster,
Please try this firmware.

Thanks, I have just updated the firmware as you suggested.
I notice the Release Notes mention a fix to do with Broadcast issues and this might be the problem on my network as I have identified that my single Google Home device appears to have been the cause of my Wi-Fi disconnects. Using a WiFi analyser it looked like the GH was transmitting its own SSID on the same 2.4GHz channel as my router. Since powering it off for the last few days and running with the last official update, I dont appear to have any Wi-Fi problems.
I shall see how the new Hotfix version works for a few days before switching on the Google Home again.Hi dvwebster,
You may need to check with Google home since this is a known issue as well from their end. I believe they have patch software for this.
