Hi. I have a google nest home hub (5 years old) and was working 2 days ago. Installed a new google wifi. ALL other items connected (cameras, TV's, ring etc. My google home hub recognizes my wifi, set up code is on the phone and hub, but an error on my phone says "could not communicate with your nest hub" Rebooted the router, hub, phone etc. Nothing works..

Please help!

Hi LackB13,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Sorry to hear about your experience on connecting your Google Nest Hub to your new WiFi. You can do the following steps to make sure we can set it up on your new network.

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:

  1.  Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  2. Tap your device.
  3. At the top right corner, tap Settings  and then Device information.
  4. Next to "Wi-Fi," tap Forget. You’ll be taken back to the Home app home screen.
  5. Follow the setup steps to set up your device on the new Wi-Fi network.

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.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Best,

Princess
