Setting up Google Home

quaycs — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 18:23:22 GMT

Setting up Google home device with Google home app. Has worked previously. Now goes right through the set up process, connects to the device, then comes up with "cannot communicate with you Google home". Any ideas?

Hi Muddi

I did reply earlier. Still no joy. Tried connecting to a bt hotspot and tried both 2.4 and 5mhz settings. Fed up!

Hey quaycs,

Thanks for getting back to us. To confirm, have you tried using a different phone/tablet? What is the make and model of your phone?

Try to set up your device using a mobile hotspot. Please note that you will need two mobile devices for this setup (one will serve as a router and the other to be used to set up your Google Home device).

Keep us posted.

Cheers,

Muddi

Hey quaycs,

Please try these steps on your girlfriend's iPhone before setting up your speaker:

On the iOS device’s home screen, tap Settings.
Tap Privacy and then Local Network. You'll find a list of apps.
Turn on Local Network Access for the Google Home app.
Try again to set up your speaker.

Let us know if that works.

Cheers,

Muddi
