Nest Cam's will not connect to Google Home

[Jason9500]

Just dropped about $500 on several Nest Cam's.  None will connect to Google Home.  All of them do not get past the "Connecting  Getting your home's network ready" part.  Just a "Couldn't find an assisting News device".  I do not have a doorbell, just a couple mini hubs and TP Links outlets/switches.  I have deleted the mini hubs.  What gives?  I should have read this forum before purchasing them.  The old Nest was 10x better.  Trouble free install and instant live video.  I have read several "hacks" but I shouldn't have to do that just to add a couple more products to my Home.  Is it worth the battle?  Or should I just return them to the stores and let Google eat the open box loss and find something better?  If so, what is the best camera's out there that will be compatible with Google Home?  Thanks in advance.

I was struggling with two Nest cam in the past couple of weeks. I'd highly recommend you to return your cameras since it's such a pain to make it work - or understand the truth that it won't work.

Do you have a dual band router? If so, try installing the new cams on a separate channel ex; 2.4ghz vs. 5ghz. That way, they will have their own channel and that has worked for some users.

Best regards,
