I have used previous generation of Google WiFi Mesh network devices (pucks, Gen 1, I think, one as router, 3 nodes) for a number of years. Model AC-1304. They work ok on my network, but do not support full capacity of Fiber coming into house now, so I decided to try to update WiFi Mesh to NEST WiFi PRO 6E with two nodes (total three devices).
I have not been able to add the NEST WiFi PRO 6E (what will be WiFi Router) to my Google Home App. I get this failure message when I try to add:
DNS resolution failed for googlehomefoyer-pa.googleapis.com:443:UNKNOWN:getaddrinfo(“googlehomefoyer-pa.googleapis:443”):nodename nor see name provided, or not known (8)
I am using iPhone to run Google Home app. I tried a number of setting on iPhone per various suggestions in posts I have read.
- Turned of cellular data
- iCloud Private relay is off
- WiFi has been turned off
I still get the error message above when I try to add device to Google Home.
When I plug old Google WiFi Gen 1 router in, instead of new, with the cat 5 from modem, The old network comes up fine. I do not think there is an “internet” problem.
I would really like a written process for this, instead of maybe try this or that… But any support would be appreciated.
