How to clear the cache on a Nest Router?

Kampkounslr

Hello,

IT at my work needs me to clear the cache on my Nest router to troubleshoot a problem I am having with only 1 work website (I am an ex-IT professional and thoroughly troubleshot this issue on my own, and none of my coworkers are having problems).

Every single router I've owned before had the ability to clear it's cache. I cannot find any options to do this via the Google Home app on my phone. The only thing I can find is to do a factory reset, which is not what I'm wanting at all!

Is there some way to clear the cache without factory resetting the router, or do I need to chuck this router and buy a real one?

Reboot/ power cycle and factory reset are your only options I'm afraid.

What sort of problem are you troubleshooting?


I don't work for Google.
