Turn off the Google Assistant on Nest Wifi point

Nest Wifi points have a built-in speaker with the Google Assistant, so you can play music, manage your Wi-Fi network, find answers, control your connected devices and more, using just your voice. 

You can adjust the Nest Wifi point speaker volume and light brightness from your device settings. This is a good option if you want to customise the volume and brightness of the point for your home but still want to use the Assistant.
