Nest Thermostat will not connect to Wi-Fi

BrianI — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 02:42:54 GMT

My Nest Learning Thermostat will not connect to the home Wi-Fi. I am able to connect to the thermostat with the Nest app on iOS. I've tried resetting and updating all network hardware, manually entering the network info, rebooting and resetting the thermostat. No error codes, just the message about not finding a network. I've tried all the online troubleshooting. What's left to do?

Hey BrianI,

Sorry to hear about what's going on with your Nest Learning thermostat. I want to dig deeper into this.

A few questions — has this thermostat worked on this same WiFi network before? If yes, were there recent changes made on the actual thermostat or your WiFi network before this started happening? Also, have you tried connecting it to another WiFi network or to your phone's mobile hotspot?

Best,

Melba

Yes. The unit connected to the Wi-Fi, but it has been some time since it has. There have not been any network changes in over 2 years and the unit does not detect any wireless networks so connecting to a phone will not work. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi BrianI,

Thanks for the reply and we're sorry for the delay.

We'd like to further isolate what's going on by trying to connect it to a different Wi-Fi network. We could use your mobile phone's hotspot if there's no other Wi-Fi router available. Also, you could reset your Nest Thermostat network and see how it goes.

Regards,

Ryan

As mentioned in my previous reply the unit does not recognize any wi-fi networks so connection to a phone or other hotspot is not possible. I did a reset this weekend and the issue of not finding wi-fi networks persists.

Thanks.

Hey Brianl,

Understood — thanks for trying. When and where was this bought? Also, what country are you in?

@MelbaDT

I’m in the US. The thermostat is probably over 2 years old and was purchased from Lowes. Thanks.

Hiya BrianI,

I'm just checking up on this thread. You mentioned you were able to fill out that form, however, I wasn't able to find a case for you. Were you able to submit the form and have someone from Nest Support reach out to you?

Best regards,

Hiya BrianI,

Awesome, I see that case! You should have someone from the Nest Thermostat team reach out to you via e-mail, so feel free to continue the conversation over there. I'll keep the thread open a bit longer, just to be safe.
