Hi nrc,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I appreciate your time and best effort to follow the troubleshooting process for your Nest Learning Thermostat connectivity not working as expected. I apologize for the inconvenience you're still experiencing.
Before going to a replacement process directly, we need to check some important information.
Since you've already tried the basic troubleshooting steps for your Nest Learning Thermostat losing connection to the network, let's move on to some more advanced solutions:
Check Network Settings:
- Network Name and Password: Double-check that you're entering the correct Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password when trying to reconnect your Nest device. A typo can prevent a successful connection.
- Guest Network: Make sure your Nest device isn't connected to a guest network. Guest networks often have limitations on device communication, which can cause issues with Nest Devices.
- 5 GHz Network: While less common, some Nest devices might not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks. If your router offers separate SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, try connecting Nest device to the 2.4 GHz network specifically.
Advanced Troubleshooting:
- Network Reset (if comfortable): If you're comfortable with it, consider restarting your Wi-Fi router. This can sometimes clear up communication issues between your Nest device and the network.
- Nest App Update: Ensure you're running the latest version of the Nest app on your phone or tablet. Updates often contain bug fixes related to network connectivity for Nest devices.
- Factory Reset (Last Resort): If none of the above solutions work, consider resetting your Nest device to factory settings. This will erase all its data and settings, including Wi-Fi information. Note: Before resetting, make sure you know your Wi-Fi network name and password for re-setup.
Additional Tips:
- Check for Error Messages: Look for any error codes on the thermostat or in the Nest app.
- Test with Another Device: Try connecting to the same Wi-Fi network with another device to check for network issues.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue you can try the following articles for the Nest thermostat is offline and to Troubleshoot connecting a Nest thermostat to the Nest app or Wi-Fi network (other TD error codes).
Please keep me posted.
