![]() ![]() My 5Ghz network at home was set to ‘Auto’ – which should pick the least noisiest band. ![]() As a refresher on this – 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi has bands or channels from 1 to 11 – but there’s overlap between the bands and they interfere with each other, so you really only wan to use 1, 6 or 11.

I also couldn’t get it connected to my 2.4Ghz home network, unless I picked my guest network. Weird, I tried several things including adding the details of the network in manually.

Power it on, get the Google Home app on a mobile device, and follow the bouncing ball to set up.
