Ethernet is not connecting

Jump to Best Response

How do I force Ethernet over wifi? I have the worst routers on the market (Google Wifi mesh- pre nest) and they are unable to run two CCU's with Stadia at 1080p and fiber internet without lag and degradation. WiFi is being prioritized over Ethernet and I can't make it stay off the WiFi. One CCU was able to stay on Ethernet, but the other will not. Factory reset has been performed with Ethernet first connected. I can see the CCU MAC chewing up 12mbps down. Any suggestions to force Ethernet?

Hello @MrPointToProve 

It sounds like there may be an issue with your wired network infrastructure (wiring, switch/switches, or even individual switch ports). I have Google WiFi as well, and it has been extremely reliable. If the CCU isn't staying on Ethernet, that's a strong indication the Ethernet connection itself isn't reliable. The fact that one CCU works on Ethernet and the other doesn't indicates the issue is closer to the problematic CCU (and likely does not involve the Google WiFi units). Instead of trying to "force" Ethernet, you need to investigate the Ethernet wiring and switches – once it's working reliably, the CCU will use it.
