@@damndons You are so welcome . Thought I’d help save time for anyone else that went through the challenge of also figuring this out lol. Grateful to offer that
Thank you so much. Nowhere else in my search for this answer did they say to turn the microphone off in order to reset. Thank you for saving my sanity.
You sir are a legend! Thank you for saving my Mini from getting cracked as I was pressing the bottom case hard looking for that reset button that everyone else was saying was there! LOL
Worked like magic ! After the factory reset - I was able to use my Nest mini in india which was originally from USA. All issues solved with this fix. Thanks brotha!
I've been hunting for more than a week now for someone to tell me how to factory reset the Google Nest Mini Second Generation, to no avail. Everyone just says, unplug it and plug it back in. For the umpteenth time this week, I decided to try again to find the answer and happened upon this video. Low and behold...it worked perfectly. Thank you so very much for posting this instructional video showing us how to reset the Nest Mini Second Gen. I'm a happy camper now. Awesome!
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
A helpfully simple presentation and it sorted a problem that Google nest sites didn’t ... thank you! Also, my glitch had started with not being able to switch the smart speaker to our new router using the Home app ~ so keeping WiFi connected wasn’t possible and your technique still solved our issue.
Connect it to Google home app enter your internet password then it comes up with an error that tells you it needs to be reset then try this it worked for me
This was awesome! Perfect instructions in real time. Listen to the end. If you can’t reset your device with this video, then you obviously have the IQ of a turnip. 😂
Great video helped loads. Ours keeps disconnecting from internet and just goes off at random times..so hope this reset gives it a new lease of life again... Great video again.
I had loads of problems connecting mine, all around permissions, this video worked, BUT, I had to uninstall my Home app, then installed it again from Google Play, then worked perfectly, phew, I also nearly chucked mine out the window. 🤣
Thanks a ton!!!! This was the solution I needed for the "could not communicate with your nest mini" problem. It would seem that whenever we are changing the wifi, it needs to be reset and then connected. And both 2.4 and 5.0 works for this too.

So how do I factory reset it if the wifi it was connected to no longer exists? I just moved and my old roommate got rid of that wifi and I have to try and connect it to my dad's place now but I can't factory reset it as I can't switch the wifi it's on.
First, you need to factory reset the hardware and then manually deregister it from your Google account. You should, then be able to setup the Nest Mini using a new wireless network. However, if your Nest Mini is registered with your roommate's Google account. Get them to do the following from within their instance of Google Home. 1. Open Google Home 2. Locate and Select your Google Nest Mini 3. When the Google Nest Mini panel opens, select the Settings icon 4. Within the Device settings panel scroll to the bottom of the list, and choose Remove device (remove from home, unlink) Once they have done this, you can then setup your Nest Mini, using your Google account and the Google Home app. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot, since Google throttled their services "a bit" after I pinged their server too much, my Google Nest wouldn't work, but now all's well again!
I have a question so I am plugged in for a while but it did all this and I didn’t go onto the app and see if it was connected to Wi-Fi all that but it was before I shut it off so it should be good but I did all the stuff that it should’ve done like you said does that mean it’s factory reset
Mic off, Press and hold center for 15 seconds... got it, thank you! :)
This was helpful!! Thanks

So how do I factory reset it if the wifi it was connected to no longer exists? I just moved and my old roommate got rid of that wifi and I have to try and connect it to my dad's place now but I can't factory reset it as I can't switch the wifi it's on.

2. Locate and Select your Google Nest Mini
3. When the Google Nest Mini panel opens, select the Settings icon
4. Within the Device settings panel scroll to the bottom of the list, and choose Remove device (remove from home, unlink)
Once they have done this, you can then setup your Nest Mini, using your Google account and the Google Home app.
Hope this helps.
