Although we generally have great experience with the Google Nest Wi-Fi router, there are situations when you can notice the yellow blinking light<\/a>. This wouldn\u2019t be so scary if it wasn\u2019t usually followed by no internet connection. So, if you are seeing the Nest Wi-Fi blinking yellow, you are at the right place. We are here to help you fix the problem in no time. But first let\u2019s see what does this yellow light mean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why Is My Nest Wi-Fi Blinking Yellow?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When we talk about the yellow blinking light on our Nest Wi-Fi router you can see it either blinking fast<\/a> or blinking slowly, something like pulsing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The fast blinking yellow light<\/strong> is generally seen when we are resetting the device to factory setting<\/strong>, when we are holding the reset button down. Usually it will stop blinking fast after 10-15 seconds and it will turn solid yellow. This is a sign that we need to release the button.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On the other hand, the pulsing yellow light <\/strong>is the problematic one since it indicates a network error.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The good thing is that we can do something about it and here are our recommended steps to fix the yellow blinking light on our Nest router.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How To Fix The Nest Wi-Fi Blinking (Pulsating) Yellow Light?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here are the most effective steps you need to take in order to fix this status light<\/a> on your Google Nest Wi-Fi router. Just take your time and go through each one as described.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Check All The Cables, Connectors And Ports<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If the cables in your network setup are damaged, if the connections are loose or disconnected, you can expect to see the yellow blinking light. Having this in mind, you should check the Ethernet cable<\/a> first and whether it is connected to the right port firmly. It should go to the WAN port on your router and the other end goes to the modem. Also check all the other cables, for example if it is connected to the power source, is the DSL or cable connection<\/a> connected to the modem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
