Can't finish installation of Google Nest WiFi point

[ArjanO]

I have a Google Nest network with several Google Nest Wifi Points. But unfortunately I can't finish the installation of one of the Wifi points. At the last step I get an error: 

Waiting for the final configuration steps to complete does not work. 

A timeout occurred and the operation cannot be completed

I tried to reinstall it more than 10 times. Near the Google Router, in a different room.......... etc.

Does this looks familiar to some of you and do you know the solution to solve this issue?

Make sure the device used for the setup process with the Google Home app have no VPN enabled/ connected; not any 3rd party product, nor the "Apple iCloud Private Relay" ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212614 ).

Make sure the Google Home app has been granted permission for "local network access" ( https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/7172427?hl=en ).

Make sure that proxy is set to disabled while connected to the Nest Wifi network ( https://www.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/disable-proxy-safari/#ios ).

When adding additional points: IPv6 on Nest Wifi has caused strange problems lately. One thing to try is to disable IPv6 ( https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6361450?hl=en ), add new Nest Wifi unit, then leave IPv6 off or enable it again.

If nothing of the above works, try from a different iOS, iPadOS or Android device, using the Google Home app with the same Google account, or a Google account that has been granted access to the specific Google Home home ( https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9155535?hl=en ).

Turning off "Apple iCloud Private Relay" worked!  Thank you.

That's great news, jeffonyc. I'm happy to see that it's working well for you.

ArjanO, have you tried those steps as well? Give that a try and see if it works for you.

Thanks,
