Nest Wifi Blocks certain sites, troubleshooting didn't work.

Liz27

Hello,

Out of the box, we've noticed certain sites are blocked using Nest Wifi. As soon as you flip to mobile data, no issues.

Tried all suggested troubleshooting in first thread (link below), and also a factory reset. Also confirmed with our ISP that nothing is blocked on their end.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Here are a couple of urls that we can't access, and the errors received; same errors on 3 Android phones (Chrome browser and the mtb app), MacBook, and a pc . Again, on mobile data they come up instantly on all devices so it seems like it's a Nest Wifi issue. No problems with them on our previous routers either.

If you connect your computer directly to the modem by ethernet cable, does the same web pages work then?

If no: Contact your ISP for further troubleshooting.

If yes: Write in this thread, and Google support should take over.


I don't work for Google.

Thanks, Abi! We're just waiting for an adapter to arrive that we had to order as our new laptop doesn't have an ethernet port. As soon as we're able to test it, I'll reply back either way. Much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We haven't heard from you in a while so we'll be locking this thread if there is no update after 24 hours. If you have any new questions, updates or just a discussion topic, feel free to start a new thread in the Community.

Thanks,
