Now my nest completely died. No display. I opened it and manually
charged the battery to a green blinking light, but still nothing. C-wire
is connected and has 24V AC on it as it should. This is the thermostat
that new out of the box earlier this yea...

Yes, any networks. I just tried a mobile hotspot and the moment I OK the

My unit's WiFi was dead on a unit fresh out of sealed packaging, never
even used yet. It was bought a few years ago so I'm probably out of
luck. Fool me once...
