Nest doorbell (battery) post-factory reset cannot connect to wireless

Hi Folks,

I did a factory reset of the Nest Doorbell, now its stuck in flashing white mode, and it never transitions to blue light mode which i need to connect to my wifi. It's been stuck on flashing white for about 3 hours now (when its plugged in to power). I've tried to factory reset it with a pin a few times and the issue still persists. Any pointers?

If it's pulsing white, your doorbell is downloading a software update. It shouldn't take that long, so I suspect there may be an issue in that aspect. 

If you can, temporarily move your router closer to your Hello. Also make sure that your phone is close to both devices. Or you can temporarily move Hello:

  1. Unmount Hello. Insert the included release tool (or a drawing pin) into the hole at the bottom of Hello and pull it off the base.
  2. Use a standard micro USB charge cable to plug Hello into a power socket that’s closer to your other Nest product.
  3. Make sure that Hello has finished restarting before moving on.
