Camera video live is unavailable

I hard wired the nest and the camera is not showing live video. It will recognize movement and show in history. I even get notification for the most part. How do I fix this problem. I have done many attempts. I bought a WiFi extender, reset the router and double checked all settings over and over. What to do?

@DonnaM 

Is the Nest camera you hard-wired the Google Nest Camera (Battery)? We've had that camera since Sept. 2021 plugged in all the time with the optional power cable and it always shows as "Live" in the Google Home app. Do you have good Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location? You could use the free iOS AirPort Utility app to check your Wi-Fi signal strength near the camera.

It is the nest cam with floodlight. Hard wired to breaker. Good signal as I bought extender and that is placed right beside camera. Not getting live feed on either network. When I set up camera it shows the camera view. But when I’m on live feed it is unavailable. I just spent over an hour with google support on phone. Did a reboot and tried on both networks and still same problem.  Frustrated. May have to return item.

It seems like other customers in this forum report issues with the floodlight camera, including some with issues like yours.

0-7793000033192 is the case number. No luck with the live video. I tried a hot spot as well on a second device.
