Wifi

[Hmccomb]

I need to connect a desktop computer without wifi to my Google nest wifi network. I tried connecting an ethernet cable from the computer to the closest Google wifi router but it wouldn't connect to the internet.

I would start with the basics.  Did you check your Google Home app to make sure your wifi router is setup, online, and working?  Are you plugged into the LAN port on the Google Wifi?  I guess there's only one port on a Nest Wifi point.  Have you swapped the cable for a known good one?  Is your computer set for DHCP auto-configure and  not already configured for another/different network?

Hi Hmccomb,

I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw RT63's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi again Hmccomb,

I'm just checking in once more to see if you needed anything else on this.

Thanks,

Jeff

He was absolutely right. It was an issue with the cable I was using. Tried a new one and it worked like a charm. 

Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know, Hmccomb, and I'm happy to hear it worked out. Great insight from RT63.

As we got our resolution on this, is there anything else you might need before I mark this as resolved?

Thanks,

Jeff

[Hmccomb]

Nope, I'm good to go. Thank you.

Thanks Hmccomb,

I'll go ahead and mark this one as resolved. Thanks again to RT63 for the input on this one.

Regards,

Jeff
