Connect your Google Nest speaker or display to Wi-Fi

If your device isn't currently connected to a Wi-Fi network, set up the device in the Google Home app.

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. Tap Devices   Add Google Nest or partner device .
3. Follow the in-app steps.

If these steps don't solve the issue, you'll need to factory reset your speaker or display, then set it up again.

Change the Wi-Fi network of your speaker or display

If your speaker or display is already set up on a Wi-Fi network but you need to change your Wi-Fi password or connect it to a new network, you'll need to forget your current Wi-Fi network and set up the device in the Google Home app again.

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. Tap and hold your device's tile.
3. Tap Settings Device information.
4. Tap Wi-Fi Forget This network.
5. Return to the Google Home app home screen and follow the setup steps above to connect your device to a 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.
