Hi @Bets4016,

It seems you're having trouble accessing your Nest thermostat's settings due to a Wi-Fi connection issue. I understand this can be frustrating. To provide more specific help, please answer the following questions:

  • What Nest thermostat model do you have? (e.g., Nest Learning Thermostat, Nest Thermostat E, etc.)
  • Does the thermostat display show any error codes or messages? (If so, please describe them.)
  • Are you trying to connect to the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz network? (If you're unsure, check your router's settings.)
  • Can your other Wi-Fi-capable devices (phone, tablet, computer) connect to the internet through your Wi-Fi network?
  • Has your thermostat ever connected to your network?
  • How far away is the thermostat from the router? (Approximate distance in feet)
  • What's the software version of your thermostat? (You can usually find this in the thermostat settings or the Nest app.)

Once I have this information, I can provide more tailored troubleshooting steps.

In the meantime, here are some general tips:

  • Restart your router and thermostat: This can sometimes resolve temporary connectivity issues.
  • Check for Wi-Fi interference: Other electronic devices can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Try moving the thermostat or other devices away from the router.
  • Verify Wi-Fi security settings: Ensure your Wi-Fi network uses a supported security protocol (WPA or WPA2) and that the password is correct.

Please feel free to share any additional details that might be helpful.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Josh
