What the light means
The light emanating from the centre of your Google Wifi point provides a general status update at a glance. Different colours and pulses will tell you right away how your Wifi point is performing.
Learn how to change the light brightness.
Here’s a guide on the different colour states.
| Colour | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No light | Wifi point has no power or the light was turned off in the app. |
Check that the power cable is properly connected to your Wifi point and a working power outlet. If your Wifi point is already set up and the light is off, check your light brightness settings in the app. If there's still no light, contact customer support.
