Once it's set up you can disable the network connection in the thermostat and just make adjustments directly on the thermostat until you get your internet installed</P> Thu, 19 Dec 2024 21:19:35 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/Why-does-this-have-to-be-so-difficult-just-trying-to-set-up-Google-nest-4th/m-p/664206#M129612 Patrick_Caezza 2024-12-19T21:19:35Z
