Change Wifi settings on a Nest Cam with Floodlight

[yayo_ayala]

I had to replace my wifi Router, and I have two cameras at home:  Nest Doorbell and in the patio a Nest Cam with Floodlight. The new Router is pre-configure with a new WIFI and a new password (I cannot touch it). it was very easy to update the Wifi in the doorbell but I am trying to figure out how to update the wifi in the Net Cam w/Floodlight? 

The doorbell I used the Nest app, select the doorbell and changed the settings... very easy, 5 min and done.

The  Net Cam w/Floodlight, I've been searching in this community and I have found only the option to do a factory reset (it will delete all the history, videos, etc.). In addition of loosing all the history, it is complicated to get a latter and reset the camera. I am surprise that the Nest app has this option in few steps, I am wondering after few years of other users asking the same question - updating the Wifi- if there is a way in the Google home to change the Wifi settings?

Thanks in advance.

For cameras and doorbells setup in the Home app, there is no feature or setting to change the Wifi network unfortunately, so you will need to factory reset it and set it up again with your new Wifi network.

Restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell - Google Nest Help
Set up and connect Nest camera - Google Nest Help

Hi David, I really appreciate the help. I have seen this problem - user trying to update their Wifi- in several entries since 2020. And it is very easy to do it in the doorbell, probably Google would like to open a Feature Request and replicate what they are doing in the doorbell. 

Thanks
