The Google Home Mini and the Nest Mini are pretty amazing speakers for the price. For $49, you can’t really ask for more than this.
Not only you get the best voice assistant out there baked right into your speaker, by quite some margin, the second generation Nest Mini also gives you pretty powerful audio for its size.
However, it’s the assistant here you should be more interested in. As it turns out, having your assistant just a shout away can have a huge impact on how and how much you use its services.
Not to mention to be able to function you need to connect your Google Home to a WiFi network for it to have the required internet access for Google Assistant to work.
Setting this up is extremely easy thanks to the wonderfully simple Google Home app. If you need to change your WiFi network, the process is just as easy.
In this article, we’re going to see how you can change the WiFi on your Google Home Mini or Nest Mini.
