Posted .Hi there, JjK1. Thank you for sharing your views on the Nest Hub (2nd Gen). We're glad to hear that it has been working great for you. However, it's unfortunate to hear that you're experiencing some minor connectivity issues.
To better isolate the issue, we recommend trying out the following steps to see if the problem may be related to factors other than your Nest Hub (2nd Gen):
- Check for connectivity issues, such as possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up bandwidth space. After doing so, check to see if you still experience the same connectivity issue.
- You might also want to check for possible interferences. Signal interference could occur due to traffic on your Wi-Fi network, your neighbors' Wi-Fi networks, or other sources like microwaves, baby monitors, or even the thick walls of your home. Placing your Nest Hub (2nd Gen) in a straight line of sight with your Wi-Fi router may help improve the signal strength.
- Lastly, we recommend resetting the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) to see if it might be helpful in fixing the issue. To reset, follow the steps provided here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7073477
If none of the provided steps prove to be helpful, please consider contacting our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Nice addition
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to upgrade my old google speaker that I had had for nearly 4 years. Got it during a black friday deal for $50 and it has been an awesome addition. OS could be a little more user friendly.

Good Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performs just like any other google assistant product; I like the viewing monitor displaying weather, videos and other items you choose to display. I use mine in the kitchen, so it is a refreshing change when using for recipes. The only thing that was a little disappointing was I thought the screen was bigger & the sound is not as rich as I figured it would be. All in all it was a good buy and would buy again.

Posted .Hi BigUlm, thanks for your feedback. It's awesome that you're using Nest Hub (2nd Gen) in your kitchen. However, we're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the screen size and sound quality.
We understand that each person will have their own preference when it comes to sound quality. To improve your audio experience, we recommend adjusting the treble and bass settings by following the steps below:
- Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your Nest Hub.
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap the device you want to adjust > and then Settings > and then Audio and then Equalizer.
- Adjust Bass and Treble level.
If you're looking for a bigger screen, you may want to check the bigger Nest Hub Max. It comes with a 10"" HD touchscreen and more powerful speakers. Here's a link if you want to learn more about Nest Hub Max: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7072284

I would recommend this to a friendIssus with setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I find the Google Home to be harder to set up then the Alexa Echo, especially at a facility such as my mothers assisted living facility. From what I have read, Google makes it very hard to find it's MAC Address, which apparently many servers want to access. Googles solution to the issue was the have the facility modify it's network.

Posted .Hi Leecie, thanks for sharing a review about your experience with Nest Hub (2nd gen), and it’s unfortunate to learn of your issue with the performance of its Google Assistant.
If your Nest display is having a hard time picking up your voice commands, there’s a possibility that it’s having trouble connecting with Google. We’d like to rule out the possibility of your Wi-Fi connection being the cause, and if you haven’t yet, we suggest the simple steps below:
- Unplug your Nest Hub and wait for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait for the device to reboot, then try to ask the Assistant your question again.
- Reboot your modem and router.
- Try to switch between 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz network to see which band is more reliable
- Test with another speaker or display (if you have any).
- If there are nearby devices that may cause interference, such as microwave ovens, wireless speakers, baby monitors, Wi-Fi routers, try to move your Home Max to a different room, or to move it closer to your router.
Also, Retraining your Nest display, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps on these help articles:
- Check which devices are using Voice Match: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7588195
- Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065
