Google Home and Chromecast have been misbehaving

Does your Google Home not work? Have you just purchased Google Home Mini but can’t configure it? Even Chromecast has decided to strike and on Netflix and YouTube might be missing the icon that allows you to broadcast content on your home TV. Don’t worry, you’re not the problem, nor are your devices.

This is a common problem that has affected several users around the world, including me. I tried to activate my Google Home Mini to be updated on the news of the day and answered me saying “there was a mistake”, the second time it decided that the problem was related to the Wi-Fi at home … in any case do not despair, Google is aware of the problem and has already prepared a fix!
