Lost connection to WiFi with Google Nest Learning Smart Thermostat with WiFi Compatibility (3rd Gene

Hoog

The Google Nest Learning Smart Thermostat with WiFi Compatibility (3rd Generation) has lost the Wifi connection. The thermostat does not recognize any wifi signal from multiple options while in search mode. 

I have tried all of the troubleshooting listed online.
    Including restarting the thermostat and the router.

Model #T3007ES
Purchased June 6, 2023


The youtube video below shows the exact issue I am having.

Hi Hoog, 

 

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that your thermostat does not recognize any WiFi signal anymore. A few questions: 

 

  1. Is the thermostat display working?
  2. How far away is the thermostat from the router?
  3. Are there devices or appliances (such as baby monitors, microwaves, cordless phones, etc.) near the thermostat?
  4. Can your other devices find your Wi-Fi network name (SSID)?
  5. Are you able to access the internet from your phone or computer?
  6. Do you only have one Wi-Fi network, or are there multiple ones? If there are others, do any of them end in _ext? 
  7. Are you trying to connect to the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz network?
  8. What’s the make and model of your router?

 

i'll look forward to your response. 

 

Best,

Zoe

Hello there,

I'm dropping by to see how I can help.

Thanks for looking into this, Zoe.

@Hoog, we appreciate the provided details. In addition, do you see any message codes on your thermostat? If none, please give these steps a whirl.

 

  1. Go to your thermostat and reset the settings.
  2. Click Account Connection.
  3. Reset to confirm.
    1. It will unlink to your account and forget the Wi-Fi network that was connected.
  4. Turn on the mobile hotspot.
  5. Once the thermostat is refreshed, check the network settings and see if any message code appears. If not, tap on it and attempt to search for networks available.
  6. If the issue persists, perform a factory data reset.
    1. This will bring it back to the default and allow you to recalibrate it.

 

Keep me posted on how it goes.

Regards,
Mark

As I said in the first post I did both of those things.

Hey there,

Thanks for keeping me in the loop and for letting us know that you have tried the reset cycle above. To confirm, does it show any messages? If so, tell us the code. Also, gather the power readings in Technical Info > Power.

Best,
Mark

That is what it says, "searching" or "scanning".

I did fill it out and someone contacted me. They took me through the same steps again, then sent me a new thermostat.

 

Thank you
