change wifi password on Google mesh router

Brickftl — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 22:49:15 GMT

Long story why, but bottom line I had to reset my Home account as my old Nest account was deleted. In doing so, somehow it changed my Google mesh routers to factory settings so that both the name and password reverted back to what they were straight out of the box when I bought them. I'm able to have devices log onto the mesh network using the name and password that's on the bottom of the mesh router, but I'd like to change them back to my familiar names/passwords. I searched online and below is what it said, however, I see nowhere in the Google Home app that that says or identifies Wi-Fi. Can someone help? Thanks.

Change your Wi-Fi password

Open the Google Home app .

Tap Wi-Fi. Show password.

Tap Edit .

Change your password.

Tap Save.

The only way to manage your Google wifi via the Google Home app is to use the same Google login that you set them up with. If you've had to change your Google account within Google Home then you'll have to factory reset all of your wifi points using the buttons on the device (they all have buttons, some are just hard to find! https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6246619?hl=en-AU) and set it up in Google Home from scratch.
