Google makes things so complicated, just make it so when you open up settings in the app there is a wifi button!

There’s no “wifi” button anywhere in any page of Google Home. Not the main page or any device. Doesn’t exist. Did this change?

It's absolutely ridiculous that I have to remove my device completely and add it to change wifi settings. For a tech company it truly is inexcusable.

I couldn’t agree more. I just moved to my sister’s house, and it’s a nightmare connecting my devices to her Wi-Fi network. I literally can’t believe how inept this company is. Not a shred of understanding of how to make systems logical, sensible, and user-friendly. Pathetic and disgraceful. Google should be ashamed of itself.

That was super helpful. Although I also had to start with a factory reset on my nest mini. But found how to do that reset on another video. It’s done by turning off microphone and holding a finger on the middle of the nest mini for a while.

Thanks! the menu has change a bit with the update but the gist of it is still there, thanks for the info!

Even when removing a device to try to setup again w/new wifi password, you get this endless loop in google home,it says connection successful & then repeats & just endlessly loops. I've reported this bug to google, but now it's so annoying, since changing wifi pw at home, now any device in household can't connect or change wifi & is useless now, with this bug in google home. Ugh, this sucks.

I think it is because you have Google Home Mini, which is the older version. This is for the Nest. The newer version. The same thing pops up for me. I have to purchase another home assistant. I'm going with Echo Dot. I have 5 mghz wifi now. Google Home Mini doesn't support the newer wifi

So if you have 10 devices you have to do this 10 times? This is insane.

The updated solution is to click the + button and select add new device. Because your device in question is not connected to WiFi it will be automatically found. You can then go through the steps to add a new device however all your settings will remain in tact.

What if you deleted your devices and cleared your WiFi from google home? How do you set up google home app to a new WiFi network and also set up the old device?

The best possible solution I found was; *take it outside on a hard surface in the sun *grab your favourite hammer and wohlah! Best 'connection' experience i hav had with this device ever.

For the people who is saying there is no wifi option , well yes after you press forget this network it will totally disappear and then you have to reinstall the device again for example you have to reinstall the google home mini again and yes i agree that is a very trash and stupid software , i can’t believe that you have to do all these steps just to change the wifi on the google device that’s so idiotic from google

Quick tip, you basically need to forget network then re-add the device. My spotify and everything was saved and it knew it was the same clock . Odd how you cant swap wifis but either way

nice 👍, if I want to only change my wifi network password then how to change the same, bcz Im using same wifi network with same name or ssid I've just changed password then it is possible to only change wifi network password in Google home app

When it says connecting to Bluetooth it shows a little screen with ok button that says “something went wrong please try again” but i tried this again for 7 times and still the same so if you are going to another house you need to restart the device and i restarted and do it in my iPad and the first time didnt work but then work. Thanks god now im never gonna take it anywhere else

It won’t let me access the settings on each of devices that I have ! Like the wifi on them is no longer connected since I no longer have the old router and WiFi network ! How would I proceed from here

I've moved, changed internet providers from Spectrum to Frontier, my "smart speaker" cannot find the new WiFi. Do I have to purchase a new one? There aren't any buttons on this one. The apps I have on my Apple phone have no compatibility with the home app, I have chrome, google wifi ,tv cast, google, google earth, nothing about a simple smart speaker . I'm frustrated.

My nest cam isn't showing on my home but I can't add it to my home bc it's still on the old wifi. What do I do?

Most of us here couldn’t get it working as most features u showed it doesn’t come up i got so stressed as i have done everything to get it working but nothing worked until i watched jimbo suson in 3 min i was set up 🤷🏻‍♂️

update. If theres a + in the top left, click that. Then new device, set up new device, then wait and it should connect to ur phones wifi

When i hit forget this network it loads and wont forget it. Its broke or someshit lol

The "Wi-Fi" was not a option under my settings for either of my devices. Wat do I do

Yup! So factory reset everything, find the original boxes, pack devices away and start again. I love Google!

My stuff won’t give me the option to connect to wifi. It already says “offline”

My google home app no longer shows an option to forget the WiFi or network. It only says to connect to WiFi network, yet all my devices work. Just won’t on my google Holme app. I can’t control volume on my mini. It’s frustrating. I also deleted the app and try to re-stalling everything and I got the same issue.

Straight to the answer!! Go to your cell phone WiFi setting, and you will find a living room tv (at least for my case) and once connected, you can go back to the google home app. Now you can go actually add the device to connect the device you want. It’s ridiculous how google no telling anyone how to do it...... Jesus
