Nest thermostat will not connect to Wi-Fi

We have a 3rd Generation Learning Thermostat. It was professionally installed several years ago and was working fine. For the past 6 months or so, it has been showing a W5 error message "Cannot connect to Wi-Fi". Our wi-fi provider, router and password are unchanged. Resetting the router has not worked. The thermostat cannot fin our network. Entering all the information manually has not worked. Now the thermostat has started not connecting at all (i.e. not showing any information, not responding, and turning off heating in the house). We have to remove the thermostat and replace it back on the wall several times before it will connect again and put the heating back on. We obviously can't keep it like this ... we need the furnace on!

Hello windy123,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your thermostat that won't connect to your Wi-Fi network, and I appreciate all the steps you've taken. Let's sort this out.

Please give these steps a whirl and let us know how it goes:

Tap and hold your thermostat screen for 10 seconds until it shuts down to refresh.
Once rebooted. Go to network settings and see if the W5 is still showing.

Thanks,

Mark

Did as suggested. The W5 error still shows up. Tried entering wifi info again and still no go. Any more suggestions?
