Awesomeness!!! I have spent hours trying to connect second point, weeks and now my house is alive. Thank you for your efforts, very appreciated!!!!

[@vincelamartina674]

I was about to throw away my Google Wifi mesh routers before watching this video. Thank you so much for helping me reset them.

[@KrisGaisford]

So glad this video was useful for you. Thanks for watching!

[@ivonnehopkins7248]

Thank you so much for showing me how to fix my problem with my Google Wifi mesh. I appreciate the technical support.

[@sgreene2058]

After spending way too much time unplugging and plugging back in my Google WiFi devices, I watched this video which helped me do an actual reset of the 3 devices. The mesh network is now up and running. Thank you!

[@cricketowo]

Thank you so so much! We had just moved in from a different house and we didn't know how to set it up.. Thanks 🙏 ❤

[@ClamChowderSoup]

You saved me many more hours. I kept trying to plug and unplug wondering why the light comes on and goes back off. Thank you so much sir.

[@KrisGaisford]

Happy I could help!

[@valerafox7795]

Bro It goes down after blue blinking for ~8 secs And then it does nothing change What can be wrong for me

[@daleyadon7723]

Wish you would have taken it one step further and showed how to add it to google home, after the 10 minutes. So after it goes solid blue, do you have to wait 10 minutes for it to start blinking again? If so, what color does it blink? Thanks

[@grahamjackson591]

Same here. Good video, but kind of ended quicker than I thought. After the solid blue light during the 10 minute reset, what color should it blink?

[@rnschwartz]

I appreciate your real time explanation

[@KrisGaisford]

Well in this case I didn't know how to piss it off manually. But I do appreciate it.

[@timwauson4084]

Very helpful. My problem was not waiting long enough. LOL. Thanks for that great pointer...BE PATIENT.

[@greggardner2259]

This was perfect! Had a 3 point system set up for a couple years. Tried to add a 4th point and had no luck at all until we watched this factory reset trick. Reset all 4 and went through the normal setup/installation steps. Now all 4 are up and running strong! Thanks so much Kris!

[@KrisGaisford]

Glad to hear that it worked. Thanks for watching the video

[@shariaedugdale3761]

Great video! Simple, quick, and got the job done.. You saved me! Thanks Kris

[@KrisGaisford]

Awesome! Glad to hear it

[@NCO-kv2zv]

Good assorted volume between music and voice. Chill music too

[@KrisGaisford]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@Farazjee03]

This worked like a charm. Thank you.

[@KrisGaisford]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@docskeet]

When I migrated from the Google WiFi app to Google Home I “lost” one of my WiFi points and could not get it back in my system. This solved my issue. Thanks so much!

[@KrisGaisford]

Awesome glad to hear it helped

[@gregbellinger5765]

Very useful. Good voice, eye contact, and camera work. Shorter presentations with no more than 3 steps at a time keep the people like me from being overwhelmed. It helps greatly to include procedural mistakes plus how to correct the mistakes. People without a lot of experience stop learning when they make an early mistake and don't successfully correct it. One of the learning principles here is the people with the experience, knowledge, and skill forget how hard it was/is for people to learn things. Good luck. GB

[@mikevids3027]

Great video. It fixed my issue.

[@aaronm9139]

So I upgraded to the Google Nest Wifi Router ac2200 and wanted to use my old Google Wifi points too. If you want to do this set up, you need to start a new “Home” and plug your Ethernet cable from the modem to the Nest Router. Set up wifi and everything like new. Then you can delete your old “Home” network. You’ll have to factory reset all of the old Google wifi devices to add them to the new Nest system. It was driving me crazy because I did the factory reset but it would never add the old points. The key is the “waiting 10 minutes after it goes solid and then it will start flashing again.” I kept trying to add before the 10 minutes were up because it’s not obvious that you have to wait so long. Once they start flashing again you can add them to the network. Thanks for mentioning the 10 minutes - I never would’ve known to wait that long.

[@KrisGaisford]

Thanks for sharing your story. And yes, waiting sucks but sometimes is required!

[@wilsonlesa8752]

Thanks, absolute legend!

[@creepylittlesoul]

Thank you so much!! This is the only thing that helped me connect an old device to the Google home app.

[@KrisGaisford]

Fantastic! Glad the video was able to help you out

[@joeevora1674]

Thank you buddy! That totally helped!

[@zthde]

many thanks Kriss sorted 👍👍❤️

[@Kindusers]

Thanks for the video!

[@carlyard8445]

Thank you! That was very helpful.

[@KrisGaisford]

Glad that it worked out for you. .Thanks for watching.

[@amigajoe]

Mine doesn’t have a reset button. Was working fine for years, and now can’t get it going after moving

[@Hilaireg1]

Thanks ...very helpful

[@texasstyle09]

Recently purchased set of 4 from someone online I have attempted to do a factory reset on all the pods. As I’m trying to add some more WiFi points to my current system but not having any luck. It does glow white first then blue and then back to orange. What do you think I should do or any suggestions. 🙏 Thank you

[@KrisGaisford]

Do you currently have it plugged into an internet connection? Maybe it might need some internet to install the os

[@loubruno3730]

I have 3 access Points. 1st point is connected to my home router. When I perform the factory reset, do I unplug the other 2 points or leave them plugged in?

[@mainelarry]

When do you take your finger off the button?

[@clevejason]

Mine has been flashing blue for over a half hour. Any specified time for how long this could take or is my unit bricked?

[@rayr.6350]

Hi, where can i get the supoort phone number from google, i have the google wifi (ac1200) and recently just got the google nest wifi (ac2200) and trying to connect the router but it won't take it, i need to know how do i connect the router ac2200 on google home app

[@texicanjoe]

I have a 3 point system. 2 connect the 3rd does not. I factory reset it but now just blinks orange. How long should it take to reset?

[@KrisGaisford]

Takes about 5 minutes to fully re-install itself.

[@KrisGaisford]

Tried out a Lut when editing this. Not really a. Big fan of how it looks post upload. I'll keep that in mind for other future

[@liamhusain304]

Mine started flashing yellow after I plugged it back in at 3:30 and yours started blinking blue witch mine did not. Do you know why?

[@KrisGaisford]

Yellow means there is a network connection error. They'll tell you to attempt to factory reset it. So maybe give that a go again

[@jimron8844]

Wrong reply from the uploader. If it is orange/red, it means there is no network (internet is turned off?). If it is blue, it means there's an internet source

[@dizzycapybara4162]

@@jimron8844 Kris was correct. I had a yellow light after the solid white. I just did it all over again and it's a pulsing blue now.

[@bobledford4686]

So, as it completes set up in solid blue, does it automatically connect to my network and go to solid white?

[@shaunansell7352]

Thanks that helped so much

[@KrisGaisford]

Awesome! I'm glad it was able to help you out

[@cornwells1954]

So is it a bad thing when it is flash orange

[@KrisGaisford]

Yes. I think it technically it means that it can't find the network. or has no Network access.

[@Tdek617]

Good video, but didn’t say you can let go of button after it starts blinking blue.

[@KrisGaisford]

Thanks for keeping me on my toes! Thanks for watching

[@BIGSACE]

right now my good wifi thing is downstairs.. if I reset it can I move it upstairs with no issue ? I’m just wondering if moving it will create an issue

[@KrisGaisford]

That's fine. You can move them around as much as you like (within a reason) but moving downstairs as you mentioned shouldn't be an issue. I set mine up in the video and moved it out to my garage.

[@BubRP]

Thank you!

[@blondestrainger]

Kris can you show how to set up google wifi on the new app ?

[@hasprotuber657]

Would using the WiFi from the router still work? Or will it require another Internet source to set the Google WiFi up Inorder for the WiFi to function again

[@KrisGaisford]

I would think it would need a network to pair too. But you should be able to reset it without a network.

[@shannonkieler8344]

Will this work with the little flat round devise?

[@carlosangella5756]

Mine don’t have a bottom at the side

[@TheMacSpeedy]

Attempted doing this but it immediately turned orange after blinking blue for awhile.

[@KrisGaisford]

Orange does mean that their is no internet connection. In my case it was because my router needed to be paired to my network. Is there a chance this is your main hub and it's not getting a connection? I would also unplug any ethernet cables if it isn't the main hub. It might confuse it if your trying to reset it

[@TheMacSpeedy]

@@KrisGaisford realized it was on spectrums end and not mine! thanks for trying to help nonetheless

[@KXC42069]

I think at 2:25, you forgot to mention to let go of the button when it starts to flash blue….

[@WardoUSA]

What is the difference between this method and using the home app to reset?

[@KrisGaisford]

If it's completely offline you won't be able to trigger the reset through the app

[@X.245]

why is the audio entirely in the left ear

[@tinylil]

Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@perid5815]

In the google home app, i saw a "factory reset" button, can I also use that instead?

[@KrisGaisford]

If you still have access to it from the app. Then yes!

[@kjtolli6210]

Mine went to flashing orange instead to solid blue

[@carlosflores5979]

Kris i cant get it to connect to the setup network. It says failed. I just bought the new pod and my system about a year old. Could the system need firmware. Or does google automatically update. Thanks

[@KrisGaisford]

Also check on the bottom for a button. A lot of comments talk about that

[@ambottythomas2559]

I have google wifi devices linked to Google WIFI APP. If I have to use Google Home, am I supposed to remove devices from Google WiFi and add to Google Home? Pls advise.

[@KrisGaisford]

You should be able to Migrate over to the Google Home. I was prompted with the option at one point in time. I would leave the Google Home app as is until you get the Google Home app setup.

[@enufots4621]

Well, if Google customer service don't know what you meant by a pulsing red light then you can tell them you don't either because it's described in their literature as a red light. lol

[@lonelyacid2108]

What if it’s flashing ornage

[@MyAbdu123]

thx so much

[@KrisGaisford]

Of course! Glad you were able to get some use out of it

[@vanessashimoni6548]

Thank you for the information

[@KrisGaisford]

Of course! Glad you were able to find the information useful

[@Gmlm217]

Someone help, mine doesn’t have a physical button on the router at all.

[@KrisGaisford]

It doesn't? Does it look like the one I used in the video

neither did mine, did you find a solution?

[@KrisGaisford]

@@Tullio_Bettolo that's good to know! Thanks for sharing

[@dumbwabbit]

@@Tullio_Bettolo It took me forever to figure out where it was. I was convinced for the longest time that there wasn't one....

@@dumbwabbit was there ever a solution? It seems the comment who answered your question has been removed/deleted.

[@marlonm5959]

Also my QR wouldn’t scan so I manually downloaded the google home app set up an account manually then it let me scab it . Just a tip for anyone

[@charlesmcdavid2896]

I’ve now tried 5 times and it still goes back to orange light or the yellow light

[@KrisGaisford]

It can be a bit tricky. I know I had to attempt it several times

[@AlexMartinez-vn8kh]

My google WiFi points don’t have a reset button neither does the one next to the router

[@KrisGaisford]

Newer ones seem to have the button on the bottom, but the steps should be simular

[@DanishSiddiqui1984]

Guys can anyone help me.. i have a wifi router which is in the video stuck at solid blue light which keeps turning on and then off (like after 30 seconds).. I've let it do this for 2 hours and then tried to restart to factory restart multiple times but nothing is happening.. The light is stuck at solid blue and it turns black and then again solid blue and its been like this for hours and I tried to redo it multiple times

[@speedydolphin1329]

Same problem for me

[@evelynmercedespadilla4633]

It glowed a bright orange ish yellow for a bit

[@KrisGaisford]

In what context? When it booted up? Is it not working?

[@Messerschmitt-fc5yb]

Only thing missing was safety factory reset how to link WiFi back to google WiFi app

[@KrisGaisford]

The one I was working on wasn't the primary. I mentioned that in the video and quickly did the app setup on an overlay at the end of the video but didn't fully go into adding it to an existing network.

[@RaulGonzalez-vb5om]

Mine for some reason does not have a factory reset button. Do you know why it doesn’t ?

[@KrisGaisford]

Might be the Gen 3. I've head it is on the bottom. Might need a pin.

I had to manually input setup key rather than camera scan. Just my two cents. Also, alternates between connecting and disconnecting Ethernet cable. Lol. Who knows worked

[@budmilstead3883]

I have no light

[@KrisGaisford]

What's it doing then

[@baris5404]

Google wifi is rubbish, how such a large company can make crap like this is beyond me. There are problems with basic operation, the app and everything else in between. Also, what kind of support fails to recognise RED might mean orange light. Stick to advertising Google.

[@KrisGaisford]

Agreed. Eventually I'll upgrade past the Google wifi points!
