Fix Google Nest Not Working
If you just want photographs of your favourite people or animals to appear on your Nest Hub photo display frame, you can use a feature called "Face Groups." This will help the A.I. choose only photographs of family, friends, and pets to display. To enable Face Grouping, open the Google Pictures app, go to Settings, and then Face Grouping. After that, go to Albums > Photographs and Pets > Menu. Select "Hide and Show Persons" from the drop-down menu.
Then, after selecting the people and animals you want to hide (maybe you don't want your ex's Chihuahua to appear), click Done. Only images of your favourite people and animals will now appear on your screen if you have the Family & Friends album selected as the album from which you want your Hub to source photos. Don't worry, if new photos of your favourite people appear, this album will be immediately updated.
Nothing is more frustrating than attempting to utilise your Hub only to learn that the Google Home app cannot locate it. There are three ways to resolve problems with the Google Home app. Disable Bluetooth on your phone first, then rejoin. If it still doesn't work, check the app store to see if it needs to be updated. Your phone may eventually only need to be restarted.
If the first three alternatives don't work, you may need to manually connect to the Google Home SSID via your phone's Wi-Fi settings. To do so, go to your phone's Wi-Fi settings, find the network named after your device, and connect to it. Return to the app and complete the Hub configuration once more. Going through the setup process is inconvenient, but there are times when it is the only option.
If Google Assistant does not appear to be listening or is having difficulty carrying out your orders, try resetting it. In the Google Home app, select your device, then Settings. Tap More in the top right corner of the screen, then choose Reboot. If you don't want to mess with the app, simply unplug your Hub for roughly 60 seconds before plugging it back in.
The Wi-Fi Connection Keeps Dropping
If your Hub initially connects but then consistently loses Wi-Fi connections, you are not alone. This is a common problem that is usually caused by router settings. To begin, restart the Hub and your router to see if it helps. If a regular restart does not work, perform a complete factory reset and start over with setup. While still in the Home app, double-check that the Hub has received all current updates.
If connections are still dropping, open the router app or go to the router admin page to verify the settings. Because the Hub does not always agree with the Wi-Fi 6 protocol, try temporarily disabling it if you have a new router with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. Turn off "band steering," also known as "smart band management," if it switches devices between the 2.5GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, as your Nest device may become confused each time the network tries to switch it to a different band.
You should also try moving your Hub closer to your router if it is in another room or on the opposite side of the room.
