Hi oldandcrazy70,

Thanks for reaching out.

If you are trying to set up your Google Nest Hub, you may follow these steps:

What you need to get started​

• A speaker or display.
• Latest version of the Google Home app.
• Latest version of the Google app.
• A Google Account.
• A mobile phone or tablet that:
  • Has Android 8.0 or later.
  • Works with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi network (a WPA-2 Enterprise network won't work).
  • Has Bluetooth turned on.
• An Internet connection and secure wireless network.
• If you already use Duo for video calling, make sure that you use the same Google Account in Duo and in the Google Home app.

Get started

1. Plug in your speaker or display.
   • If the device has been used before, factory reset your speaker or display before you continue.
2. On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app .
3. Tap the Add icon Set up device New device follow the in-app steps.
   1. If the Set up devices button is not on the screen:
      1. To set up your first device in the Home app, tap Get started Set up new devices Create another home Next enter a home nickname and address.
      2. To set up all other devices, at the top left, tap the Add icon Set up device New device.
      3. Follow the remaining steps.
4. You’ll be able to opt out of some settings, like Voice Match or personal results. You can change these settings at any time after you complete setup.

Hope this helps.
