Hi, I have two 1st Gen Minis that will not connect to my new Wi-Fi set up, even when changed to 2.4GHz to allow for Smart Device Connection. I was able to connect my 2nd Gen after a few tries.
There's another post from 2022 ("Google home and home mini (1st gen) won't connect to Wi-Fi") that outlined the steps to follow, and I was able to do all of those (with no success) except for connecting the Mini to a mobile hotspot. I failed at that attempt because I didn't really understand how to do it. My location services are enabled. I disconnected mobile data. I moved the minis to within 10 feet of the router/modem. I performed a factory reset on both. I tried to set up a second home to see if they would connect there. I keep getting an error message that says "Could not communicate with your Google Home Mini."
