Posted .Hi Jamie,
Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear of the connectivity issue with your Nest Mini.
While we are aware of an issue regarding Nest Mini that disconnects from Wi-Fi network, we recommend performing some troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue. You can restart Nest Mini and Wi-Fi router to refresh the connection. Unplug the power cable from Nest Mini and Wi-Fi router and leave them unplugged for at least a minute. Then, reconnect the devices and wait for them to boot up. If rebooting the Nest Mini and Wi-Fi router doesn't fix the issue, we suggest performing a factory reset on Nest Mini device then set up.

Posted .Hi Bryan, thanks for letting us know about the voice command issue and that your Wi-Fi connection drops out a lot for your Nest Mini.
Adjusting your Nest Mini's mic sensitivity and retraining it to better recognize your voice can be helpful with the issue. Check out the steps below:
Retrain Voice Match:
- On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
- At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
- Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.
We also recommend changing Nest Mini's hotword sensitivity:
- Open your Google Home app.
- Select your Nest Mini.
- At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon.
- Then tap Audio.
- Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Mini more responsive to the hotword.
You may also want to try out some recommended steps below to help you with the connectivity issue:
- Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
- You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.
We suggest contacting our support team and work with you to isolate the root cause if the issues persists. You can reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the first week it was amazing! Then it just stopped working, I did 3 factory resets and did the same with the smart lights and it just doesn’t work it won’t turn anything off or on and simple questions it says it can’t help. It often is not connected to the internet, it’s terrible my mom has an Alexa and it’s a million times better and I will be switching back.
