Outdoor wired Nest cam with floodlight

switched our mesh network to Netgear and unfortunately, the network name included a character it wouldn’t accept so, re adding our outdoor wired nest camera with floodlight to google Home.
When I added them earlier this year, not a problems. Now, I only see nest cam or nest cam 2nd generation as an option, nothing with a floodlight. Appreciate any advice!

@MichiganBrian

Did you perform a factory reset on your floodlight camera before trying to reinstall it? Is the status light pulsing blue, indicating it is ready to connect?

Thank you! I ended up doing exactly that, and was able to finally get them reconnected. Its amazing how some devices will connect to a new network easily while others take some work.
