    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.

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.
