Access google wifi with a new account

Vitorio

I closed a google account that was used to set up my google wifi and a point. Now I do not see my router and the point in the Google Home app. Is there a way to factory reset it without Home app so I would be able to set it up with another account?

Thank you

You can leave the power cable connected to the modem, and the ethernet cable going from the modem to the primary Nest Wifi unit can be either connected or disconnected, I think.

No worries. 🙂

The point must be factory reset too, then added to the new network after the first/primary Nest Wifi unit has been set up.

Yes, factory reset can be done using the physical button. Described here:

Thanks a lot for being so patient with me. One more question. What about the google point?

Does it need to be restored separately? Does it need to remain plugged during router' restore?
