Some settings are available only when your mobile device and this speaker are connected to the same

[Cbarlie]

I have recently been getting the message "Some settings are available only when your mobile device and this speaker are connected to the same Wi-Fi network" when trying to connect to my my google mini. I looked for a long time to find out how to fix this. I couldn't find anything which suited my particular problem. (Or I missed it). Anyway what I did was make sure they were in the same "home". I can't remember having to do this until recently, the previous software ( I don't know if phone or mini) just requested the same actual WiFi network. Name and log in. Anyway this time I needed to put it in the same home, not just wifi network. It seemed to have a new routine to do this too. This may help some issues.

Hi Cbarlie, 

Thanks for posting in the community! I understand you were getting the message "Some settings are available only when your mobile device and this speaker are connected to the same Wi-Fi network" with your Google Mini. You found that placing both devices in the same 'home' within the Google Home app resolved it, which was a new requirement you hadn't encountered before. 

I appreciate you sharing your experience and the steps you've taken. This is the kind of post that helps others in this community!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them on this forum.

Sincerely,
Juan
