Can we use mini nest without wifi? I don't have wifi connection.

I want to connect my mini nest 2nd generation with Bluetooth to my phone. But I am unable to do that. Also I don't have a wifi connection at home. Is wifi mandatory to make connection with phone and speakers through Bluetooth?

Hi,

Yes an internet connected WiFi signal is required for using a Google Nest Mini.

Just an fyi. That linked article makes no mention of a connected WiFi signal being required to use the Nest Mini in Bluetooth mode.

Actually, you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker without an internet connection if you first set it up WITH an available internet connection and pair it via Bluetooth with your phone using Google Home while it is still connected to Wifi. This initial setup can be done on any private WiFi network, such as at a friend's house, etc. After this initial setup and pairing is done, it should show up as an available Bluetooth speaker on your phone no matter where you are (as long as the Mini is within range, of course).

I had setup it using wifi but now I can see the Bluetooth speaker in my phone.. but when I click on that. It keeps showing me "pairing" only.  When you say ok Google it revert back " no wifi connection found".

As I mentioned in my previous reply, you need to pair it with your phone while you are still connected to the Wifi network. It must be successfuly paired once in order to use it without the Wifi network later.
