Hi Superdave22,
 

Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear about your experience with your Nest Connect. Let’s get this sorted — a few questions: what’s the status light of your Nest Connect? How far is your Connect from the router? What troubleshooting steps have you done so far? Also, were there any changes to your WiFi network?

 

Give these steps a try:

 

  1. Hold down your Connect’s button until the light pulses blue (about 10 seconds). Then, release the button. 
  2. Wait for Connect’s light to turn green, which means the restart is complete.
  3. Try plugging your Connect into a different outlet.
  4. Check for sources of wireless interference. Thick walls, floors, appliances, furniture, and even other electronics on the same network can cause interference.
  5. Factory reset your Connect. Hold your Connect’s button for much longer than 8 seconds, the light will turn yellow, which means your Connect is preparing to factory reset. Keep holding down the button, when the light flashes yellow then goes off, release the button. 
  6. Remove it from the Nest app. Then, add it back. The recommended router settings are the 2.4 GHz WiFi frequency. Check out this guide: Troubleshoot offline or disconnected Nest Connect.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

JT

I had a similar problem right out of the box.  Apparently because the rechargeable battery was drained.   Plugging the Connect into power for a while solved the issue.
