Hello,
I appreciate everyone's replies and suggestions; I will try them...
If my devices (Nest Protect CO/smoke alarms) are not connectiing to my wireless network and they are only able to via 2.4Gz band why won't they show up on my list of attached devices ? They can talk to each other, but just won't show up on my network.
- This can be caused by that your Nest Protect devices were previously connected to another router with the same SSID?

Thanks again, and I will attempt another re-set...I appreciate your input
