If you change your router's settings, Wi-Fi password, or install a new router, you need to update the Wi-Fi information on your Google Nest Protect(s).
Tip: If you give your new home network the same network name (SSID) and password as the previous one, your Nest products will automatically reconnect.
If your Nest products don't reconnect to your new network automatically, or you want to use a new network name or password, you need to update the Wi-Fi information on each of your Nest Protects in the Nest app.
