Well I've factory reset till I was blue in the face, I've restarted my router, I've cleared the cache in the app, I have no issues setting up the Nest Mini but the display just sit there "link account". I just purchased 2 of the things and they both won't function properly in different areas of the house mind you! But the minis literally in the same spot as the other will work just fine. If I knew this was gonna eat up my Sunday I wouldn't have purchased these nightmares to begin with. So for the love of everything that is holy is there anybody out there with any fruitful information?

Hey Daisymeddow10,

That certainly hasn't been easy for you — let's see what we can do.

A few questions: was it working before? When you're setting it up, are you able to complete the set up in the Google Home app?

Let's try these steps:

Make sure your devices are within 15-20 feet of your router.
Make sure you're using a regular Google Account.
Reinstall your Google Home app.
If you're using iOS, turn on Local network access for the Google Home app on your phone settings.. Here's how: Privacy > Local Network > Google Home app
Try resetting your Nest Hub to its default settings and try setting it up again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Alex
