Google Home Mini Connectivity Issues with Netgear Nighthawk

Hi, I'm trying to connect my Google Home Mini to my Netgear Nighthawk AC1900. However, it doesn't connect. When I look on the Google Support page for connectivity issues it says:

Netgear Nighthawk router and Google Home

If you're having trouble setting up Google Home using the Netgear Nighthawk router, particularly model R7000, try: 
  • Disabling Access Control
  • Enabling the option "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" in the "Guest Network Setup"

May someone please tell me how to do this? I tried disabling Access Control on  routerlogin.net , and the option for "allowing guests" is already enabled. However, my Google Mini still doesn't connect to the router. Can someone give me a guide (pictures would be nice) in fixing this.

 

Thanks

    Hi minime701,

     

    Please check what security type Google Home Mini supports. 

    You can try to change channels as well for your wireless network.
