New-Setting up Multiple Nest Cameras, First one connected. None others will connect to network

[Mvill]

I am having the same issue as a thread from almost a year ago titled "Setting up Multiple Nest Cameras, First one connected. None others will connect to network". 
That thread is locked. 
The symptoms I am having are identical, but excruciating work around that user discovered is not working for me. 
After setting up the first one, I was super excited. The others are absolutely impossible. I have tried everything and am about to return all three cameras. Then you choose "Google Nest" even though it is 2X the price of others because you just want your system to be simple and work well with your other Google stuff and it is harder than any cheap knock off $49 camera on the market, you feel like an idiot. 
It has been over a year since people discovered this any its still a problem? 
Anyone else still seeing this issue?

We loved our Next cameras & the Nest app.  Since we've moved, I bought more outdoor Nest cameras for better coverage & I am SO disappointed that we cannot add them to the existing Nest app!  We are forced to add them to the almost worthless Google Home app.  Google should not have shut down access to the Nest app until their own product provided equal or better service.  But that's what Google did.  And there's hope on the horizon- but when?  Very disappointing!  And we can't even access via PC- shameful!  So it eats my phone battery & I haven't even figured out how to record a new clip yet.  Grrrr!

I've seen some customers in this forum report success with temporarily turning off any Google Nest devices that are already installed, hoping that the Google Nest install process will then give you the option of selecting your Wi-Fi network and entering your password, rather than trying--and failing--to automatically get the Wi-Fi settings from an already-installed Google Nest device.

I finally got it to work. I got an old router and installed all three cameras on their own wireless network. 
You shouldn't need to set up an exclusive wireless network for your camera but it is what it is. 

You're better than that google.
