Thermostat E W5 Error

Hi, our Nest thermostat E is no longer finding or connecting to a network. It is showing a W5 error. I have restarted, reset and checked everything. It still will not connect. It won’t find or identify any networks. Tried typing our network in manually, and that doesn’t work either, despite all our other network devices working just fine. I just need a replacement. Thanks.

I had this issue happened to me twice for a Nest Thermostat E. Turns out I needed to purchase and install a Nest Power Connector. Haven't had any issue since installing it this past October/November. I suggest reaching out to Google Nest support and try getting a replacement unit.

Hey folks, 

 

Thanks for responding and for your suggestion, Gio235. 

 

Aerodevelopment, sorry to hear about your Nest thermostat but thanks for trying those steps already. I want to check on your options. 

 

Could you provide a photo of your thermostat display showing the code you're getting? Also, when and where did you buy it as well as what country are you in?
