Quick poll: Does the issue only affect Founders edition controllers? I ask because I recently purchased a second controller (wasabi) and so far it has yet to experience the disconnect issue.

@Livingston66 Can you share details about your network setup? Also, just to add a bit more detail... I was using an wireless Xbox controller on my PC (playing Stadia via Chrome browser) a few days ago and it disconnected suddenly. This was the first time I ever had that happen. It behaved the same way as the Stadia controller has via CCU, as if it had lost the signal...but the Xbox controller doesn't connect to wifi, it connects via dongle to the PC. So that complicates things. I can't point to the Stadia controller as the sole cause, and I can't point to wifi necessarily (though my PC is connected via wired Google Wifi puck which is connected wirelessly to the Google Wifi router), and I can't even point to Destiny (the disconnect has occurred in other games). Frustrating!

@FOlavo Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a separate SSID for 2.4 and 5 GHz channels? This is the Achilles heel for me, I think, because Google Wifi's mesh system has the *same* SSID for both channels, so wireless devices can't differentiate and, as far as I can tell, switch between the two signals as it thinks it needs to. There's no way to force the Stadia controller onto a certain band. It may be of interest to note, too, that I've only seen this happen while playing a FPS. Wondering if maybe the controller automatically switches between channels if it detects some sort of input lag while managing that monstrous throughput?

@FOlavo The controller is a wireless device unto itself, so whether or not the Chromecast is wired will not make a difference. For the record, both CCUs I have are wired. The phenomenon occurs whether or not my CCUs are wired or wireless. In my situation, as I've stated above, I'm on Google Wifi (pre-Nest) so wireless devices (such as the controller) will attempt to connect via 2.4 or 5 GHz (or possibly between multiple wifi access points), depending on what *it* thinks is a stronger signal. It is my belief that the controller is switching between the two bands and that's what causes the temporary disconnect. The phenomenon is not consistent enough to predict and occurs even if I'm 5 feet from the router/access point. My hope is Google will push a controller update which will prevent it from switching bands/points once it locks on for the first time.

I've done some reading up on this. In my environment, I am running Google WiFi mesh network, which will automagically switch clients from 2.4 to 5 Ghz if they are dual band. After some spot-checking of other clients, I see they are running 2.4 where previously they had been running 5. So, I believe the sporadic drops are probably Google WiFi switching bands for better performance and doing so in a less than graceful manner. I will attempt to reach out to Stadia support and/or Google WiFi support for confirmation of this anomaly, and hopefully they can do something about it in a future firmware update.

Same issue with my controller during the last 3 sessions in Destiny 2, two days apart. The reticle will suddenly drift and controller is unresponsive. After 15-30 seconds it reconnects automatically and I can continue. This happened on two different Chromecast Ultras, one wireless and one wired. Controller was fully charged. It did not disconnect again during the same sessions.
