Google Wifi Drops Each Time Broadband Drops
I've used Google Nest Wifi for many years with my current Virign Media router (in modem mode), but I have noticed through this time that when my broadband connection drops it also makes my local wifi...

Thanks for your reply and insight, I dont doubt the logic but there must be consumer/retail units that can keep a persistent wifi/wired network in place with full local connectivity in the event of a WAN failure? I'm not sure this is too much to expect?
I recall in the past getting messages on a device that was connected to the wifi - when the WAN dropped it would indicate this in a message, but I would retain my connection to my LAN (and its resources).
I'd be open to replacing the Google part, but want to be sure I have not set it up wrong in the first instance, or risk replacing it with something that does exactly the same thing
Unfortunately I have not had any involvement with retail type routers for some time, so cannot advise on their usage. My router, switches and WAPs and their management system have hundreds of parameters to tailor their functions, the WAPs alone support 24 SSIDs, not the 1 or 2 VM hubs have. Currently I have 2 internet connections, one VM 1G plan and a fibre connection of 1G/1G so I have full redundancy.
