Changed WiFi networks, how do I add new password to Google Home?

Note:  there was no label selection for Google Home so I selected Nest WiFi   I was not sure what the platform is, so I picked IOS.

I was told that I needed to connect my Google Home directly to my new internet network.  The google home only has a regular wall plug-in.    I have been trying to find an electronic part that I could purchase that would the plug-in feature and convert that to a  USP port.   My WIFI box only has USB ports where any outside devises can be added.

I'm going to assume you're referring to a Google Home speaker or display, so I've moved your post there. 

If you've already changed to a new Wi-Fi network, try these steps:

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. At the bottom, tap Devices > + Add > New device.
  3. Follow the in-app steps.

If these steps above don’t solve the issue, you’ll need to factory reset your speaker or display, then set it up again using your new Wi-Fi network and password.

Instead of factory resetting your speaker or display, if you're comfortable changing your router settings, you can change your new Wi-Fi network name and password in your router's settings to be the same as the previous ones. Your device should then automatically connect to the Wi-Fi.

Google Nest and Google Home speakers and displays connect to Wi-Fi. You can't hardwire them and connect them via an ethernet cable, so you won't find an adapter or any kind of part that can enable that.
