Google Nest 2nd Gen. wired camera

I unplugged 2 cameras to relocate.  At the same time I changed the password to my WLAN.

The app shows 2 cameras but offline and when I select 'turn on all cameras' it doesn't. 

I have plugged and unplugged cameras with no change.

How do restart my cameras.  ty

Google Nest does not make it easy to change Wi-Fi settings for most Google Nest devices. So their first recommendation when changing to a new router/modem is to set the network name (SSID) and password to the same values used on the old router/modem.

If you can't do that, then Google Nest's process is to remove the Google Nest device from the Google Nest app or Google Home app while still on the old Wi-Fi network, then do a factory reset, and then reinstall the device while on the new Wi-Fi network. Skipping the first step can cause problems you may not be able to resolve without help from Support (https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp).
