If you change your Wi-Fi router/modem, Google Nest's recommendation is to set the network name (SSID) and password on your new router/modem to the same values used on your old router/modem, because updating Wi-Fi setting is challenging on most Google Nest devices,

If you can't do that, then Google Nest's recommended process is to remove the Google Nest device from the Google Nest app or the Google Home app while you are still on the old Wi-Fi network, then do a factory reset, and then re-install on the new Wi-Fi network. Failure to do the first step can cause significant problems and require assistance from Google Nest Support (and some customers are unable to get it resolved).

Hey there, just to get this in context: I pay 5 or so bucks for a monthly Nest aware sub, and then Google’s official recommendation for changing WiFi credentials is „reset to factory defaults, delete all your data and reinstall“!? You gotta be kidding me…

Hey Postbrawler,

 

I understand that factory resets can be frustrating to deal with, but they do clear up a lot of issues when they are suggested steps to take. I just wanted to follow up on this to see if you gave it a try and to see if you got anything worked out on this at this point.

 

Thanks,
Jeff
