Backup Nest Wifi configuration?

[HansEnders]

Is there any method to save the full configuration for the home network, in case a router reset is needed?

I am accustomed to using Linksys routers, whose administrative browser interface allows for downloading a back-up (*.cfg file). Sometimes there may be a technical problem, calling for resetting the router to factory defaults. If that is needed, I would prefer to have a backed up configuration I can easily reapply to the now virginal router. This can save a lot of typos and other user errors to get the network back to where it was prior to the reset.

No, not currently. Feature requests can be added as using the Google Home app -> Feedback.

Google Nest's recommendation when getting a new router/modem is to set the network name (SSID) and password on the new router/modem to the same values used on your old router/modem. That's what we did when we got a new router/modem, and we didn't have to update any of our Google Nest devices.
