Google Nest Mini (1st Gen) not connecting to WiFi

Astrosheep — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 20:14:06 GMT

Hello,

In the last day or so my Google Nest Mini (first gens) have stopped accessing the internet. I have a Lenovo Google Clock and a Google Home Hub which boh are connected and working fine, but my 3 Nest Minis all stopped connecting to the internet at the same time.

I have tried rebooting them, restarting them, restarting and rebooting the internet and doing a factory reset. I have removed the devices and tried to set them up again but they still will not connect to the internet.

Have the devices stopped being supported in some way in the UK?

Same here with all my 2nd generation minis (5 of them!). Hub and 3rd party speaker are both fine.

exactly the same issue for me. Google Hub and 'Works with Google' speakers all fine. It's just the nest mini's and one larger nest speaker that will not connect. Tried everything.

Never had this problem, and nothing has changed, same router and password, same speaker locations. all other wifi enabled devices in the house working perfectly. Seems very odd it's all our Nest speakers at the same time with the issue. Again, we are in the UK.

All 3 of our 2nd Gen did the same yesterday - none of them are working. So frustrating! We have spent so much time factory resetting and trying to connect. All other devices are connecting to the wifi fine for some reason none of the 3 nests will! HELP!!

There's clearly a device issue. Ours are 2nd gen too.

Interesting that the OP mentions a Lenovo clock is working. We have two Lenovo Smart Clock Essentials with Google Assistant built in and these both went offline on Friday night. Even after a factory reset they're both refusing to connect to internet (I've tried a couple of different wifi networks as well) when setting them up through the Google Home app. We also have 1st and 2nd gen minis in the house and ironically these are fine.

Same problem here. - Can you say which router you are all using - Mine is Eero provided by TalkTalk

Orac1971 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:07:25 GMT

Hmm, Eero by Talk talk ......

I contacted Google who have said it sounds like an Eero/ Talk talk issue. So I'm now trying to contact them for some solution

I too am in contact with Eero and Talk talk. I have mentioned that other people are having the same issue but not mentioned the threads.

I have no issues with you mentioning this thread, or another I started on Reddit to see if others have the same issue (spoiler alert: they do)

I have also contacted eero, and mentioned about people having the same problem.

I will keep this thread updated if I get one, can others do the same please.

Cheers

Bit late to the party but I also have Eero and Talktalk

Just to add, I've tried connecting to a hotspot on my work phone and everything worked perfectly. Eero and/or Talktalk is definitely the issue.

Got it! At the bottom of the Home screen in the app, go to 'Security and Privacy' and disable 'Advanced Security'.

Hi All

Just been on phone with Eero support for 2 hrs. Tried just about everything but got nowhere. Early days we tried disabling Advanced security but for some reason it made no difference. Having read the suggestion from Thanos23, I tried again and hey presto - it worked ______ WELL DONE thanos23.

I will let Eero know the situation

Best Regards

Thanks so much for posting.

I can see security and privacy and advanced security but I can't see where to disable it? Could you point me in the right direction

Many thanks
