Google Nest Wifi device or Google Wifi point doesn't have QR code

Each Google Nest Wifi device or Google Wifi point has a unique QR code  printed on a label on the bottom of the device. When setting up a new router or point, you need to scan this code with your phone’s camera in order to connect your phone to the device.

If the QR code label is missing or you’re unable to scan it with your phone, you can manually retrieve a Nest Wifi device or Google Wifi point code and enter the QR code into the Google Home app.

3. Look for the “setupNetwork” section of the output.
4. Find the “ssid” (this will be the name of the setup Wifi network) and the “psk” (this will be the password used to connect).

5. Manually connect to the SSID and enter the PSK to connect to the Nest Wifi router and begin the setup process.
