My google home has stopped working completely

When I turn it on I get 2 vertical lights, then a cross of 4 lights, and this repeats....

It's not connecting to the internet, and not responding to any questions

This started about a week ago. For the previous 6 months it has been ok

I suspect its a software update problem. Can you help me?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Each of these won’t take more than a few minutes at most, so when Google Home doesn’t respond:

Press the microphone mute button to see if Google Home was muted accidentally.

Unplug Google Home before waiting at least a minute to plug it back in.

Gently blow on both black dots on the top of Google Home, and then wipe the top with a soft and dry

Perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the microphone mute button for 15 seconds until you hear the confirmation from Google Assistant. A factory reset will clear all personal data from Google Home.

I had the same issue with my Google home.

But after updating my home address, its work like a charm. Update your as well:

Open the Google Home app on your Smartphone → Tap on the hamburger → More settings → Google Account settings → Update Personal info.

If this solution does not work for you, then try some other fixes to solve Google Home not responding problem.
