Google Wifi point without QR code

rborges — Thu, 12 May 2022 19:02:14 GMT

I have a Google Wifi 1st setup with router + 3 extra points running for some years now. Today I got another wifi point from a friend and tried to add to my setup.

However, there's no QR code or any code whatsoever in the unit.

Based on the information here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9012064 , I was able to connect to the unit with an ethernet cable, got the ssid / psk and then connected my phone to the unit wifi.

But then the instructions say "Manually connect to the SSID and enter the PSK to connect to the Wifi point and begin the setup process". However, when I begin the setup process connected to the unit wifi, it keeps asking the the QR code. What am I missing here?

Model is NLS-1304-25.

Nevermind.... I've just figured out the "setup code" is the psk (wifi password) returned from the status API.

I'm glad you were able to figure it out, rborges. Thanks for letting us know.

Before I mark this as resolved, is there anything else you might need?
