Reinstalling Google Nest camera on new Wifi

I recently moved and had to change internet providers but now I’m not able to connect my google nest camera to my new wifi. It’s as though the camera isn’t being recognized at all. Any suggestions?

Update: I needed to get a wifi extender due to the location where to modem *had* to be. Set it up, then factory reset the camera, then reinstalled it through the Google home platform. Once I did that, I connected to the extender wifi signal, and the camera worked beautifully!

Google Nest's process when changing Wi-Fi networks is to remove the Google Nest device from the Google Nest app or Google Home app while still on the old Wi-Fi network, then do a factory reset, and then re-install on the new Wi-Fi network.

Unfortunately I did not know this before moving so I now do not have access to that modem/internet. I’ve tried factory resetting it and still nothing.

You may have to try to contact Support (https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp) for options. Unfortunately, things don't go well if you don't first remove the Google Nest device from the Google Nest app or Google Home app while still on your previous Wi-Fi network.
