Can’t connect google mini to WiFi

LA4

Hello, I have two problems. Dolly know if anyone can offer some enlightenment. 

1. I accidentally deleted all the categories of rooms in groups in my Google home app. How can I reinstall them? 

2. I moved to a new place. Try to connect my Google mini to the Wi-Fi. The Google mini lets me know that I have detected it. Then it says connection failure stating that the Google mini cannot be contacted to the Wi-Fi on my iPhone. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thank you so much!

If all you did was delete "rooms" in your Google Nest "home", the devices are still there and can be added to a different "room", but you'll have to add back the "rooms" you want:

Since you are on a new Wi-Fi network and your Nest Mini still has its old Wi-Fi credentials, you'll probably have to do a factory reset and then add it back.

Hello everyone, I did a factory reset and it still doesn’t work. At the initial part, I did hear the beep which confirms that I am connected to my Google mini. Yet at the end of the day, it says connection failure because it cannot detect the Wi-Fi on my iPhone. Dear community, Any advice?

Hi LA4,

 

Thanks for trying that step. Try to forget your WiFi then connect to it again, then redo the setup. Also, to further isolate the issue, use another mobile phone and see if this will work.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Thanks,

Juni
