Sony Braxia XRB-X800H never works with Google Home

Got a new x800h w/ built in google home & chromecast. Great tv so far.. only issue is the wifi drops when the tv is powered down.. therefore losing all functionality from my google home mini.. kinda defeats the purpose of having the chromecast integration when ‘it looks like that device is offline’ everytime i try to voice command my google home to launch my tv.. ive called support, ive called google, im told i need to enable a ‘wake on LAN’ feature for a permanent fix.. i don’t see an option for that anywhere on my TV & im sure this isnt the exact fix for what im experiencing, ive searched online and in this forum and cant fond anything close to my specific issue. Im wondering if i need to change my TV to have a static IP address? Honestly any input to fix this issue for good would be great. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

Can you try if enabling "Control remotely" in the network settings solves the issue?


Cheers
