Google doorbell disconnected

[Lorek]

I have an Google doorbell (2nd gen, wired) when it gets disconnected from my wifi I will have to take the doorbell off the wall and reboot it to reconnect. It will never reconnect on its Owen. All of my nest cameras Will reconnect except for the doorbell. I have wifi close to the doorbell and it is working like it should be. It's a pain to take it off the wall and rebooting it everytime. And it's getting worse of losing my wifi connection. I never had this problem with first gen nest doorbell.

Whatever you do, don't fully remove the doorbell from the Google Home App or you will never get it back. I have been without a doorbell for 2 months since they recommended that as a trouble shooting step. I was having the same issue as you, constantly losing WiFi after the doorbell had worked seamlessly for a month, no issues with wifi on any other device. Support had me disconnect the doorbell from my home app and it has never let me reconnect. They seem to continue to suggest the issue is my Wifi despite me sending many speed tests and doing every troubleshooting step under the sun. Good luck...

Thanks for letting me know, as soon I got home from work I was going to factory reset the door bell.

I just did the same thing... crap! So did you ever get it back? How do I fix this?! I've tried everything!

Okay so after a lengthy chat session with support.... the only thing that worked was doing a complete factory reset. The pinhole on the back of the doorbell you hold in for about 10-15 seconds... you'll hear a countdown chime then eventually a startup confirmation chime. Then you can go thru the steps to add a device again and it should work this time. Good luck!

I’ve done probably 100 factory resets at this point with no luck. They even sent me a replacement doorbell and I couldn’t add that to the app either. I’m fully convinced there is a bug in the software and it is not a hardware or configuration issue.

Hi everyone,

@Lorek, thanks for reaching out here in the Community and for sharing your concern with us. How's it going with your Nest Camera? Were you able to reset it to the factory default?  In case you have an update you know where to find us.

@AveryReid, may I know what is the light status of your Nest Doorbell? How do you reset your Nest Doorbell? Have you tried setting it up with a different mobile phone? Looking forward to your response.

@mariahju, we appreciate you sharing what you've done that resolved the issue.

Regards,

After months and months of trouble shooting and getting nowhere, Google agreed to refund me. I mailed the doorbell back.
