What Happens When You Change the Wi-Fi for Google Home?
When you follow the steps above, your Google Home unit will start using the new Wi-Fi internet.
You might do this if you have two networks and prefer the unit use your other Wi-Fi online grid.
Other than that, your speaker will continue to work as it did before.
Asking it questions, streaming music, etc., doesn’t change.
However, there is one thing to be aware of.
Even changing a home speaker to a guest Wi-Fi can cause trouble controlling other devices in your home.
This comes in handy when you have multiple home speakers in various locations.
It also prevents others in a multi-family residence from inadvertently activating other devices.
For example, “Turn on the living room lights” will still work in the new setup.
