why wont my home Mini connect to my wi-fi any more? null

Could be many things, more info is really needed. Did you move your router or Mini? Do you have multiple frequency (2.4 or 5 GHZ) for your router change to the other one. Have it forget your wifi and then re-enter it. Reset your router and modem, sometimes you get two ip addresses assigned to different devices. Basically you need to troubleshoot the system to find out exactly what happened. My first step is always to unplug everything for about a minute then plug it back in and then see if it works and go from there. Be aware the mini needs to be set up through the app EVERY TIME it's power is disconnected.

You know what the problem is? You have it set to M for mini when it should be set to W for Wumbo.

In terms of how Google updates their devices. Usually, if the device was working before, the device glitched during an update period most likely. A recommended fix is to reset the google mini device by "Press and hold the FDR button located below the power cord on the bottom of Mini for about 15 seconds. Look for a circle etched into the base. You'll hear your Google Assistant confirm that it's resetting Mini." - Google Support Website. When fully restored, you should be able to add the device again. If this doesn't work still, please contact the support team of Google.

Replace it .. I have 4 and had one with this issue - replaced and no issues now!

It may just be a software issue , It happened with mine. I used my smart phone in the set up. If you go to that software you may just need to select the Minnie to use it again. Good luck .
