Change Nest Protect Wi-Fi network (2024)

If you change your router’s settings, Wi-Fi name or password, or install a new router, you need to update the Wi-Fi information on your Google Nest Protect.

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.
