Trouble with your Google Home

  • Make sure the mic is not switched off. The on/off switch for the mic is on the back of the speaker. If the microphone is off, four yellow lights will appear on the light ring on the Google Home
  • Make sure there is a network connection. To verify, the small LED light on the back of the Google Home device should be solid white.

Problems Connecting

  • You may need to disable auto detect on your device you are using to setup your Google Home. You can go into the Settings > Wireless & Network Settings > Advance, and then disable Scanning.
  • If your router is a dual band router, you will want to check that your setup device and Google Home are on the same channel. You may want to temporarily rename the 5Ghz network so you can ensure both devices are connected on the same channel.
  • Make sure there are no devices around that can cause interference.
  • Troubleshoot your wireless connection.

I didn't understand your question. You want to change the password of your google chrome account or Google Home Account.

If you want to change the password of your Google account then you can change it by clicking on the forget password and if you want to change the password of Google Home Device then you can change it by using google home app.

We are here to help you get those devices connected to your Wi-Fi, .

 

We suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps in the article above.

 

You can:

  • check to make sure that your setup device and Google Home are on the same channel. You may want to temporarily rename the 5Ghz network so you can ensure both devices are connected on the same channel.
  • Check to make sure there are no devices around that can cause interference

We suggest that you use our Smart Home Manager App. This will let you manage your network and rename the 5GHZ channel.

 

If you would like more personalized assistance please create your own thread since you are currently commenting on an old thread which could be closed.

 

 

Let us know if this helps.
