Can't connect new Google Nest Home Max

Trying to connect a new Google Nest Hub Max for first time. Cannot do so. Although I get a message that it has connected, I then get an immediate second message that SOMETHING WENT WRONG, and it says to be sure that Network Access is turned on. It is. Cannot move past this. I read relevant HELP section and none of the suggested fixes work. I rebooted, updated, checked settings and PWs to no avail.  Also consulted COMMUNITY and found that a lot of people have my same problem. None of the Expert recommendations worked. Finally, I called the Telephone Support Line. This was of no use at all. I spent an hour, but the person was clearly just reading the same FAQ that I was reading. Result: this buggy product is going back, unless someone has cracked the code and can share.  Google sells tech products. It is a shame that they do not offer help and insight from technical experts, but provide only people who have the ability to read from a script.

Hi @mikestaff

 

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand that you were having issues trying to connect your new Hub Max. I know how frustrating this issue can be, but don’t worry! Let me help you with that!

Before we continue, I need some relevant information to provide you with the best troubleshooting steps:

  • What is the brand of the phone that you have?
  • What is your iOS or Android version?
  • Did you try to use a different device?
  • If you contacted us previously, could you please share the case ID? If you don't have it, that's fine.

Once you have this information, I can assist you further.

 

Best Regards,

Debora
