Google camera won't join the network

After two years of operation, I bought a new router which caused Google nest camera to go offline.  So I factory reset camera and followed the instruction in Google home app.  At the last step, there is no error code.   It simply says, "MAKE SURE YOUR NEST CAM IS ON and connected to the same wifi network as your phone".  Why does the camera cannot find the wifi network?  I have Google router.

hi I have exactly the same issue. Have two cameras. One connected the second will not. Can not find wi-fi networks! New router. Now tried on several devices and drawing a blank all coming up with the same message. Gone through all the usual stuff, rebooting etc. Now pulling my hair out 😞

Sorry about your issue.  I have finally installed the nest camera after choosing not to scan QR code.  Instead, I typed Setup Code manually and then it prompted me for a wifi network name and password.  I entered them and my camera connected to the network successfully.  So, do not scan QR code which will not help you to find a wifi network.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Have bypassed scanning the QR code. Put in the 6 serial numbers and done it that way. Still will not pick up wi-fi. Re booted everything I don’t know have many times! My second camera no problem. This is now a mystery! Thank you again for your suggestion unfortunately not working on mine 😫

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this, as I can imagine it has been an inconvenience. I would love to look into this further for you. It may help to turn off your cameras, restart your Wi-Fi router, once up, restart your cameras. Let me know how it goes. 

Best regards, 
Brad
