Getting frustrated when your Nest doorbell won’t connect to Wi-Fi? 

We’ve got you covered, as this article will tell you the causes of this problem and provide you with workable solutions that I applied to myself.

For smooth video streaming and real-time notifications, your Nest doorbell must have a strong Wi-Fi connection So let’s solve the issue together. 

Let’s get started!

Why Is My Nest Doorbell Not Connecting to WI-FI?

I will tell you the most common problems due to which usually Nest Doorbells won’t connect to Wi-Fi and also assist you with the first-hand solution that worked for me too.

Some of the most common problems include:

• Incorrect password
• Wireless network interference
• A device placed at a distance
• Need a reset
• The network name is not listed
• Low bandwidth
• Weak Wi-Fi signal

Let me describe some.

Incorrect Password

You may access your Google Nest account from any device using this password so You won’t be able to connect your Nest doorbell to your Wi-Fi network if you input the wrong password or if you updated your Wi-Fi password.

Solution:

Make sure to update your Google Home’s Wi-Fi password if you’ve recently changed it and here is how you can do it:

• Select the Home app’s Menu.
• Select Devices. 
• Select Your Device Name.
• Select Settings 

But  If your password is wrong, then there are solid chances that your Google Home won’t be able to connect to the internet.

Nest Doorbell Is Too Far From the Router

If you utilize a 2.4GHz wireless router, then it is most likely that your Wi-Fi network may not be able to connect to your Nest Doorbell due to its distance.

This is because many routers broadcast on both frequencies, and the 2.4GHz frequency has a range of just around 300 feet whereas the 5GHz band has a far wider range.

Solution:

First of all, you have to verify that you are using the 2.4GHz band, and not the 5GHz frequency for further continuation.

• Go to Settings.
• Then Wi-Fi and press the (i) button next to your network name on your iPhone or iPad to change bands. 
• Tap “Change Band” after that, and from the selection, choose 2.4GHz.

Low Bandwidth

You don’t have adequate bandwidth, thus your doorbell doesn’t operate so as a result, the doorbell is unable to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

There are chances that your doorbell may experience interference and malfunction if other appliances in your house are utilizing the same frequency as it.

Solution:

First of all, check to see if other gadgets aren’t using all of your home’s bandwidth because Your Nest doorbell may not be able to connect if your network is overloaded with several devices.

You can also view the amount of data that each device has consumed over the previous 30 days under the “Network usage” section. 

Until you’ve linked your Nest doorbell camera, consider unplugging any gadgets that are consuming a lot of bandwidth from the network or turning them off.

Need a Reset

There are also solid chances that if the Nest Doorbell won’t connect to Wi-Fi then the Wi-Fi requires reset so here I am mentioning the step-by-step process of how to do it.

Solution:

• First, remember to remove the doorbell plug from the socket to avoid any problems!
• For around 10 seconds, press and hold the orange reset button on the back of the doorbell!
• Push the button to release it, then re-plug the doorbell!
• As the doorbell starts up and reconnects to your Wi-Fi, wait!

That its!
