Wi-Fi point setup

[BadgerFan]

Cannot get a Wi-Fi point to setup. QR code doesn’t work and the setup code to enter has 8 digits but my setup code on the bottom of my device has 9 digits. Any help would be appreciated

As seen in these older threads:

• https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Nest-WiFi-point-8-9-digit-code-cannot-be-entered-in...
• https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/Best-Wi-Fi-point-setup/m-p/231338/highlight/true#M2...

Try to start the pairing/setup process again. Seems it sometimes wrongfully detects the device as requiring a 9 digit code.

And since iOS is tagged, it's good to know about this iOS troubleshooting guide too:

Hi BadgerFan,

This is not the experience we want you to have, let me help you. A few questions: what type of router do you have? Is this the first time setting it up?

It would help a lot if you could first restart or force close the Google Home app and reboot your WiFi router. If needed, reinstall the app and try the setup again. 

Also, see this guide about setup using the QR code.

Keep me posted.

Thanks for helping, olavrb!

Best,

Dan
