3 Ways on How to Fix Google Home Not Connecting to Wi-Fi Router or Internet

2. Then, enable the Wi-Fi connection in it.
3. Now, launch the Google Home app and repeat the setup process.

After the successful connection of the device to the local Wi-Fi, remember to disable the Airplane mode.

Pick the Right Wi-Fi Band:

Google Home devices might connect to either 2.4 GHz or 5GHz band.
