Change ip adress of the Google nest hub

[DeanBos]

Hello,

is there a way how to change the ip adress of the google nest hub? It now has the same ip as my camera, so we have some connection issues.

thanks Dean

No, there isn't a way to do that for that device I'm afraid. In normal operation, your router should not issue the same IP address to multiple devices. I'd recommend checking your router settings. If you're not comfortable doing that, refer to it's support manual, specifically the DHCP section, or contact your Internet Service Provider for support.

If you've manually set that specific IP on the camera, rather than letting your router issue an IP address, you either need to change it to DHCP, or reserve out that IP address in your router's settings, so it knows not to issue that IP address to other devices.

Hello David, thanks for your quick reply.

most product have a webportal or something. But unfortunately this one has not. That would have been the best way. I am gonna find my way to solve it in another way.

Greetings Dean

If your router is set to assign IP addresses (DHCP), setting a static IP on devices isn't recommended as you may experience issues exactly like this one where 2 or more devices are trying to use the same IP address.
