Nest hub wifi problem

truelutti — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 16:55:14 GMT

Hi!

So after i woke up today my nest hub 1st gen and nest hub 2nd gen had lost connection. I had to restart the 2nd gen couple of times and my wifi router to be able to get the 2nd gen back online. This didn't work for my 1st gen nest hub though. I can't make it connect to wifi even though i try to add it manually entering the ssid etc via the setup. First of all the 1st gen doesn't even find any networks. Still seems to try to connect but fails every time.
Having everything else work (other google assistant devices) but only the nest hub devices not working tells me that there has been an update to them. Or it can be something more spooky but let's assume they were updated last night. That update obviously failed with the 1st gen nest hub. Now since i'm not a fan of reseting my devices and setting them up every time you release a bad update is there any other thing i could do? Will the factory reset even work if the update was bad? How are you handling this issue at the moment?

I got also the 1st gen installed after hours of trying. Still the issue remains that they shouldn't be updated with poor quality updates that forces the customer to reset the device several times to get it working again. You can lock this thread.

HI truelutti,

Apologies for the inconvenience. Just so we’re on the same page, is your Nest Hub already working? If not yet, to eliminate network issues, please try setting 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/Nest devices). Once done, check if your device will have the same behavior.

Thanks,

Dan
