Nest learning Thermostat W5 error. Tried all the suggested troubleshootings

My nest  learning thermostat  reports "w5 error" and cannot connect to WiFi.

It does not detect the WiFi, but all my other devices are connecting to WiFi well.

Have tried all suggestions to restart and reset ( including reset network only or reset all settings) both the router and the Thermostat.... Still doesn't connect to WiFi. 

Please help.

Hey stinglee, 

 

Sorry to hear about what's going on with your thermostat but thanks for trying those steps already. I want to take a closer look at it. 

 

When and where was this bought? What country are you in? Also, could you provide a photo of your Nest Learning Thermostat's display showing the code you're getting?

 

Best, 

Melba

Hi Melba,
 
I couldn’t find the exactly dates that I purchased, but it might be around 2020 from Costco, and I am living in California USA.
Here is the picture form the thermalstate screen.
