the network name is not the name that is on the back. It is your wifi network name. If you do not have a wifi network you cannot use this Nest smoke alarm.

When setting up your Nest Protect, make sure both your mobile device you're using the Nest app on and Nest Protect are on the same Wi-Fi network.
