Google wifi switch not working - how to fix it

You can add different LAN ports to your router by connecting them through a switch. This is a network device that acts as a controller to allow the device to communicate with each other while using a similar Internet connection. If the Google wifi router not working, you may not get a stable internet connection. If you are using managed switches and spanning tree protocol is enabled, it may not work as expected. Other than that, if the switch you are using has power flickers, it may not work. Here's how to fix the problem.

Find out how to connect Google wifi with a switch

If you are using Google wifi for the first time and you want to connect it with a switch, you have to find the right way to do it. A switch can help you add LAN ports to your router. To accomplish this, you must first connect the Ethernet cable to the uplink port of the switch. Make sure to connect the remaining end to Google's wifi router. After the connection is complete, you should be able to use the devices without any problem. If you notice that the switch is not working, you can try the steps below.

How to fix Google wifi switch not working

Restart the router from the Google wifi app

One of the basic techniques used to troubleshoot common problems, such as Google's Wi-Fi switch not working, is to restart the router from within the app. Start by opening the Google wifi app and then click on settings. This should direct you to the actions tab that contains a section labeled network and general. Click on it and then tap on wifi spots. Then you need to go on selecting restart the network and confirm. During this period, the Internet connection will be interrupted for a few minutes. However, restarting the router from the Google wifi app can cause the switch to start working again.

Troubleshoot google wifi router not working

Our goal with this guide is to provide you with an accurate reference to address some of the most common home WiFi problems, including:

  • WiFi not working
  • WiFi slowed down
  • Disappearance of the WiFi network
  • Devices not connecting to Wifi

We'll cover what to do if your connection is running slower than usual, as well as how to troubleshoot a network not connecting at all. We'll also take a look at various tools that you can use to help troubleshoot connection issues when problems arise.

Fast home WiFi solution

If your wireless connection suddenly stops working, before trying anything else, restart your router. This is the process:

  • Unplug or turn off your router.
  • Wait 2 to 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
  • Wait 5 more minutes and try the connection again.

In most cases, this should fix your problem and allow you to reconnect. If you follow these steps and something still doesn't work, you may need to contact your Internet Service Provider for help.

Why Your Google Home Won't Connect to Wi-Fi

Reconnecting your Google Home with Wi-Fi may not have a clear solution. Sometimes you will need to fix the problem by running several different methods.

This is because the Google Home malfunction could be caused by an internet password change, a low speed internet connection, or a low signal from a router. Although each of these has its own repair method, you can also reboot and reset the device if all else fails.

Identify any issues with your connection by checking if your music isn't playing properly, if Google Home isn't listening to your commands, or if you're having trouble controlling your other smart devices from your Google Home.

Here are several ways we can help your Google Home reconnect to your Wi-Fi.

Reconnection after changing password

If you have recently changed your Wi-Fi password, your Google Home will not be able to connect to the Internet. There is no button on the device to easily reconnect your Google Home to your router.

Instead, you'll access the Google Home app for iOS or Android to reconnect your device and get it working properly again.

  • Open your Google Home app.
  • Select your device
  • Select the gear icon to access settings
  • Select Wi-Fi> Forget network
  • Select add
  • Select Configure Device> New Device
  • Select your home, then Next
  • Complete installation instructions

To connect your device to the Wi-Fi network if you have changed your password, you must first disconnect the device. This will reestablish your connection and allow you to connect to Internet.
