What kind of Nest device(s) are you trying to reconnect to Wifi?

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

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. At the top left, tap Add + > Set up device > New device > set up new devices in your home.
  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.

Hi folks, 

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

@David_K, appreciate all the help!

 

@Bvr1, thanks for trying the steps. Since there's no option for you to change the router name or password, is there a way that you can try to connect it using a mobile hotspot? Please take note that when you do this, you need to have an extra phone that will serve as a router/source of internet and the other one is the set up device. 

 

Let me know if this works for you.

 

Best,

Princess

Hi Bvr1,

 

Apologies for the late response. How about trying to set it up using a different network? This way, we can isolate the if the issue is within the network or the device itself.

 

Best,
