Google Home and Google Nest products are optimized to work best with specific Wi-Fi standards depending on where they are sold. This means if you buy a product in one country, it may not work as expected, or may not work at all, if you try to use it in a different country than where it was purchased.
The first thing to try is to factory reset your device and retry setup. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, there are some workarounds you can try:
Google Home and Google Nest speakers and displays manufactured for certain countries cannot connect to Wifi channels above certain frequencies which is why I suggest changing your Wifi channel to between 1 and 10. Checking you are using the 2.4GHz band and not the 5GHz band is for dual band routers and is for the same reason. The two steps are interchangeable for some routers but not for others.
