Google Nest WiFi Point

[Wachtel519]

I have 3 Google Nest WiFi routers. I am using one as my main router and 2 others to extend the WiFi signal throughout my home and backyard. One of the WiFi points is connected and works great. The other one will not connect. I have unplugged and plugged in again and waited for the pulsating white light but all I get is the pulsating yellow light. I have moved this point to several locations around my home including right next to the main router but still no luck. The pulsating yellow light haunts me now. Any ideas on how to fix this or some how reset this one WiFi point. Or anything else that I haven't tried? Many thanks!!

I'd try a factory reset using the physical button:

Since iOS is mentioned.

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.
