Nest Audio on public networks

[Fijay1Z]

Hi, I am currently living in a hotel with an open wifi. I am interested in buying a Nest Audio but I don't want other people to be able to connect to my speaker and play random audio. Is it possible to restrict the ability of casting audio to just one or two smartphones?

Hi Fijay1Z,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

Wi-Fi networks on dormitories, hotels, cafe and other establishments are not officially supported by Google Nest speakers, so they may or may not work with this type of network, it is not guaranteed. These type of networks has limitations on what devices can connect to it and also a security risk since this is a public network. However, if you still plan to get it connected, you can reach your local IT or network administrator and let them know that you want to connect your device to that network.
