Hello Google Nest Community. I have a Nest Protect Gen2 (wire free) and I've had it for some time, and ever since I changed Internet Service Providers, I am unable to do anything with it. While it still works as a Smoke Detector, I cannot get it connected to the internet and have information on the device. I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for what seems like a year.
Edit3/4: Same exact problem as https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Protect/Nest-Protect-refuses-to-reset-to-factory-setting...
Here are some things that I've tried that have NOT worked:
I know my nest protect is old and out of warranty, but it still "mostly" works, and I do not want to buy another one as they cost a lot and like I said, this one still "mostly" works.
There may have been some other things that I have tried, but I'll attempt to respond if someone suggests a thing that may ring a bell.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing your responses. Thank You.

Hi @dog_
Try all the troubleshooting in this link: Can’t connect Nest Protect to the app or Wi-Fi - Google Nest Help make sure your router is broadcasting 2.4GHz.
If you still have trouble after going through the troubleshooting from that help page please let us know.

Tried that already. Also, it's been on 2.4 ever since we owned the product.
I forgot to add that I removed the product from my nest account and I haven't been able to add it back for over a year.

Hi everyone,
@dog_, thanks for reaching out here in the Community and for sharing here all the steps you've done. To further isolate this issue, could you try connecting your Nest Protect using your mobile hotspot? Make sure that the phone that you're going to use in this set up should be on the same hotspot as well. Looking forward to your response
I appreciate your help, JillG.
Regards,
Emerson

Can't even get to that point. It wants to connect to another Nest Protect.
I also just tried a new home instance and same thing, it doesn't even get to that point, nor am I able to force it to go to that point.
