Nest doorbell wired 2nd gen won't reconnect after wifi outage

The nest doorbell wired gen 2 doesn't reconnect to Wi-Fi after a Wi-Fi outage. I have to manual restart the doorbells every time. Is there a better fix than a manual restart? If I'm not home to restart the devices then the doorbells are pretty much useless

Seriously? Two of our Google Nest Outdoor Cameras have always had to be unplugged and plugged in again after a power outage--a real problem for customers with cameras in another location--but it never to my knowledge happened to Nest Hello doorbells. Has Google Nest really carried this defect into the new 2nd Gen Google Nest Doorbell?

Yep. Really annoying.

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this, as I can imagine it has been an inconvenience. I would love to look into this further for you. Is your Nest doorbell still connected to a power source when you try to reboot it? Have you tried to reboot your router before you restart your camera?

Best regards, 
Brad

Hey everyone,

 

@mvp2022 how's it going with your Nest doorbell? Were you able to perform the suggested steps? If so, don't hesitate to give us an update here.

 

I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer and Brad.

@EmersonBand @Brad :

The issue here is a long-standing defect where many older Google Nest cameras have to be physically unplugged and plugged back in again before they will come back online after a power outage. Google Nest has somehow managed to carry this defect forward into the new 2nd Gen Google Nest Doorbell.
