Can't get Nest Protect to go online in App

Fen

I have recently purchased 4 Nest Protects Gen 2 but can't get them online on APP. My ISP supports IPV4 not IPV6, is this the problem? Do I need a different router? Thanks for your help.

This happened to me a while ago, I just ended up resetting all of my Protects and set them up again.

Hello folks,

 

@Fen thanks for posting here in the community. I'm sorry to hear if your Nest Protects won't connect to your Wifi. The Nest Protect can't connect to 5G Wifi network and can only be set up and controlled through the Nest App. Follow this link on how to update Wi-Fi settings on Nest Protect.

 

In case the issue persists, give these steps a try:

  • Gather all of your Nest Protects near your Wifi router and place them on the table near each other.
  • Reset all of them to the factory default.
  • Remove them from the Nest App.
  • The Nest Protect should have a blue light pulsing during setup.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

I appreciate the help, MetalGlacier.

 

Best,
Emerson
