Nest protect won't update wifi or add product

Hello, I updated my ISP, hence setup a new wifi network etc. I was able to update my nest thermostat on the device itself (using the thermostat), and my nest hello via the app.

 

However, I am unable to update any of my protects. I cannot update wifi on any of them. So I decided to factory reset one of them, and try adding it as a new product. When I do this, I get a

 

1. First tries the connecting to existing nest products.  Then gives me a "We've run into a problem setting up Nest Protect (error code P014)"

2. Then tries to connect directly with the protect and gives me a "The entry ket does not match this Nest Protect

Check that the network you selected matches the nest protect....

P.021 (4.6)

I'm at a loss...

I've restarted all the things (modem, router), verified that ipv6 is enabled, updated/reinstalled nest app etc. I just can't seem to get it to work. All of this was fine before I switched networks, so I know the devices work fine...

 

HELP!

Hey bigeasy1, 

 

Thanks for posting a detailed description of your concern and I'm sorry to hear about your Nest Protect devices. Could you try the steps below then let me know how it goes?

 

  1. Make sure your phone's Nest app is up to date. You may proceed with uninstalling and reinstalling it. 
  2. Move your Nest Protects and mobile device closer to your router as you try to add your Nest Protects to your Nest app.
  3. Reset your Nest Protect to its default settings. You should also restart your phone or tablet then reopen your Nest app.
  4. If you still get these codes, check your router settings. Take a look at this link for more information: https://bit.ly/3r29iNR
