wifi nest change name

[sbnz]

I need to change the name for our wifi using our new Nest.

The online help says to go to the Google Home app and and click the wifi icon - but there isn't one.

help please

Then the fastest way to get it done is to factory reset all your pucks by using the physical button:

Then set them up from scratch in the Google Home app:

When setting it up from an iOS device, make sure you have no VPN enabled/ connected, not any 3rd party product, nor the "Apple iCloud Private Relay".

Make sure the Google Home app has permissions to "local network access".
