Can't connect Google Mini to T-Mobile Home Internet

So if the answer for everyone else is as simple as it was for me, it's almost blindingly obvious. Make sure you factory reset the Google Home Mini with the tiny round button on the bottom. Hold it for like 30 second, then set it up again. Voila.

Good suggestion. I recommend to people that when they're setting the gateway up for the first time, they get it working with one device, whether it is a phone or a laptop. Then after it is all set up, restart the gateway and restart your laptop or phone, and make sure you're all signed in, signed up automatically, and that the internet works.

Then change your SSID name and password in the app to what  you had before and that should add all your devices, and restart the gateway yet again after doing that, because if some of the devices don’t connect the first time, they will connect after the restart after the old SSID name and password has been established.

After all, the Google Home Mini or all these smart devices, are just using wifi, and wifi is wifi, whether it is coming from the gateway’s router or a separate router.

As far as the factory reset on the Google Home Mini, first I'd try just unplugging the mini and plugging it back in, and as long as you are using the same SSID and wifi password as you had on your old setup, it should work. Just doing that can kind of re-register it with the wifi network.

Lastly, sometimes the Google Home experiences some quirks of its own that are unrelated to your home internet. When I first got my Google Home mini like three years ago, it was so slow, and barely worked. I got on the online help with a rep and explained that I've used computers for 50 years and what am I doing wrong. It turned out Google Home was having a problem at that time. The next day and for months after it worked  great.
