Instructions say it isn't compatible with routers with wpa2. All my routers are wpa2. I have XFINITY as my main router. Thought it would be plug and play but can't get it done! null

Question

My 3 routers (set up in roaming configuration), all use WPA2 Personal for security.
If you read my comment under my review, you will see an addenda about this issue. I'm betting your router is an extension off of your service provider's router and you have, in effect, two or more networks, Even if they are the same name, it doesn't matter. Google Home insists on the setup device being on the same (branch of) the network that Google Home is connected to. I add a few more details in my comment under my review.

You can actually pass your credentials from your phone. But, all routers also broadcast their SSID - it's a bit more complex, but check online for connecting Google Home to your router and it should help.

I have WPA2 on my router and, I am an XFINITY customer. It works fine for me. The unit piggyback on your mobile phones WIFI connection.
