I've not seen that error message before. But try the steps provided in this guide, maybe it works?

What happened when you followed the first URL, "Google Nest Wifi device or Google Wifi point doesn't have QR code"?

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down and we have our resolution here. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if anyone still needs help or has any additional input, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
