Morning of 11/03/21 doorbell went offline

Morning of 11/03/21 my Nest Hello was going in and out of connection for a couple hours. Then it went offline for good. I did everything possible to resolve, it's not my network as other smart devices I have work fine. Voltage is good to the puck and doorbell. Did factory reset and tried to reconnect. Light would pulse blue for several seconds then go out completely causing setup to fail. Whatever happened seems to have bricked my doorbell.

Nest doorbell

Same exact situation on my end. I installed my nest hello without issues. Connected to wifi and could see a video feed on the nest app and google home app. When I woke up in the morning, the camera was offline and could not get it to connect to wifi. Did a restart, factory reset, and tried setting it up  In the nest app again from the beginning.

there’s still power because it can still activate the house chime. It’s just the wifi that I can’t connect to. the error I get is that the password is incorrect but I know I’m not that incompetent to input the password incorrectly 20+ times. 

I have the Netgear Orbi mesh wifi which is working just fine. I even tried setting up an extender to connect the hello to a 2.4ghz band.

Basically, the doorbell is no longer in my app and I can’t finish the set up. I now just have an expensive videoless doorbell

A few days later and still having connection issues. Did another factory reset. Cut power for a minute and turned it back on. Ensured power is flowing through puck and doorbell. Tried setting up from an iPhone and Pixel. Tried connecting to a mesh wifi and then a dedicated extender both 5 and 2.4 gHz. But nothing worked. I keep getting a connection error during setup.

i ended up getting a different smart doorbell which worked and connected just fine. Will probably just switch to that and see if a family member can try using the Nest Hello on their single router network. It’s unfortunate since my whole ecosystem is pretty much Google Nest.

Same situation here. Doorbell "Hello" went offline Saturday evening. Tried to get it online again but the blue ring (light) is out. On the top there is a little green light witch is on. That means everything is OK due to the Manuel.

Now I can't add the device. Replaced the power transformer, no luck. The doorbell is no longer in my app so I can't finish the setup. Oh and the device was on 2.4ghz and worked fine for over a week.

We had just bought the new $300 floodlight cam and it was the day it arrived that the Hello stopped working. It's like this is an issue that isn't recognized by Google and in turn they don't want to tell you it's broken. Needless to say I returned the floodlight cam and we're exploring other home camera options now.

I've done a factory reset, uninstalled and reinstalled the Nest App, tried from a different phone. Still nothing, blue light comes on like it's ready to connect then during the connection process the blue light stops and a failed connection message appeared. I've checked voltages at the puck and at the device which are both fine.
