Nest Thermostat
Does anyone have a Nest thermostat working with this router, and did you have to do anything special to get it working? I've tried a number of things already without much success (changing encrypt...
Just wanted to note that I reset the router to factory settings, and my Nest is talking to the cloud servers again. I had done this once before with no result, so I can't really pin point what is happening, but I'll take it. Thanks again for the replies.
I have 3 Nest thermostats connected to my R7500. They are connected to my 2.4Ghz network, with SSID broadcasting and WPA2 security. I had issues in the past with another router and Nests if the SSID wasn't being broadcast so if you aren't broadcasting the SSID I would start there.
Thanks guys. I'm glad to hear that others have had success.
I've currently added an older router to my setup, since the Nest is happy connecting through it. Also, if I set the 7500 as an access point with the older router as the primary, and connect the Nest through the 7500, it's still happy.
But, if I have the 7500 as the primary or only access point, the thermostat connects to wifi fine, but never connects to the Nest server. So, I'm inclined to think it's something with the router since it connects via the old hardware.
I'll double check the SSID when I get home.
Thanks again for the feedback!
