Massive Google Wifi outage
Google is having some sort of issues with accounts today, and apparently that caused[0] a lot of their mesh routers to reset to factory defaults. Not sure how widespread this is, but there are a TON of people who are not happy.[1]
For my part, I reconfigured my routers this evening, and then a few hours later, they reset themselves again.
The beauty of cloud-managed hardware...

- i336_ 10y agoThanks. FWIW, links in posts (as in, not comments) don't linkify; an Arc thing. Probably meant to combat spam.
- anaganisk 10y agoWe discovered 7 earth like planets yesterday, google and cloudfare went full chaos today.
- billconan 10y agoI actually had issue last weekend. One of the 3 routers died (shows as offline), So I tried reconfigure by unplugging and replugging it in. The light went on for few seconds, and the whole thing won't light up again. looks like dead.
- hoschicz 10y agoToday, all my Androids required me to reenter my password. May be related to the Google Accounts problem. Is there any more info about it?
- hijinks 10y agoThat was due to the travisCI oauth issue. Google just signed everyone out that was authed to TravisCI
- james_a_craig 10y agoSomething more general. I got signed out, and I've never used TravisCI.
- jrowley 10y agoI had an email account get removed from google inbox seemingly randomly yesterday. Must be related.

I think complete online based bot attack is happening write now targeting a particular device vendor of google. That's why the even internal router of gmail got reset.
- jasonvorhe 10y agoCare to elaborate on that?
- redxblood 10y agoI second this petition
- tdkl 10y agoDo you need a better proof that you're not in control of your own device you paid for ?
- monochromatic 10y agoSeriously. I'm returning these.
- s4vi0r 10y agoWhy even buy em in the first place? Seems more like a product tailored to people who aren't really tech savvy, which I'd be surprised to find on HN.
- monochromatic 10y agoTired of fucking around with flashing custom firmware, manually setting up networks, etc. This just seemed like a painless option. Nope.
- alphabettsy 10y agoI would rather not have my network gear directly connected to Google. It's enough already that you don't have much choice on the internet.
