Lost wifi connection

Our Nest lost wifi connection about two months ago. We didn't worry too much, but we had a heating pro out and they said there's an update needed. We did the update - still won't connect to the wifi. All of our other devices in the house find and connect to our wifi no problem. It worked for about two years before this happening.

We have exactly the same problem. Ours disconnected from wi-fi 5 days ago & we've tried all things suggested. Help!!

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Nest Thermostat. I'd love to know more about this and I have a few qustions:

 

  • How far is your Nest Thermostat from your router?
  • Are you getting any messages when you try to connect your Nest thermostat to the WiFi?
  • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Edward

Hi, 
The wi-fi connection to my Nest Thermostat has been working perfectly fine since May until  days ago. The thermostat is 6 meters away from the thermostat & also next to a wi-fi booster. I get the w5 message saying it can't connect. I have tried restarting my router & thermostat. Why would it just disconnect all of a sudden?

Yes, we are still having the same problem. We hired an HVAC technician to check and reset our furnace. It didn’t help. We worked through all troubleshooting suggestions offered. Spoke with Google customer service and they sent a new Nest out to us. We set it up but have the same problem. We also exchanged our Comcast router for a new one but we still have the same w5 error code on the new replacement Nest thermostat too…not receiving or connecting to wifi. We repositioned the router and tried all other suggested repairs but it just won’t connect.
