Troubleshooting Tips

If Google Home still won’t connect to Wi-Fi, try these troubleshooting tips:

Restart the modem and router. Reset Google Home to factory settings. Press and hold the microphone button, typically found on the bottom of the device, for approximately 15 seconds. Confirm you have the right Wi-Fi password. Connect another device using the same password to make sure it’s correct. Update the firmware on the modem and router. Move the Google Home speaker closer to the wireless router. Move the Google Home speaker away from possible sources of signal interference, such as baby monitors or other wireless electronics.
