Switched Service providers last summer(08-2022) and when I tried to reconnect Google Home 1st Gen I was prompted to do a firmware update. Once the firmware update completed, I've never been able to get the speaker to connect. I loved this speaker where it was and what it provided and would like an answer as to what I do with it now. I've read on other sites that I now possess a paperweight but that can't be the answer. Can someone point me in the right direction for a google update or a replacement for the issue they created?

Hi BlairY,
That certainly hasn't been easy for you ― follow the steps below for a successful set up.
If your speaker or display isn’t connected to a Wi-Fi network
Set up your speaker or display on the new Wi-Fi network:
If these steps don’t solve the issue, you’ll need to factory reset your speaker or display, then set it up again.
If your speaker or display is connected to an existing Wi-Fi network, but you'd like to connect it to a new one, follow the steps below:
If you get an error message that says "could not communicate with your [device]" when you try to forget your network, or the steps above don't work, you'll need to factory reset your device and set it up again.
Note: Once you complete the factory reset of the device, you'll need to set up your Google Home device again on your home Wi-Fi network and link a Google account to the device.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Dan
