Cannot connect my Google Home Speaker 2026

I've been trying to connect my speaker for the last 2 hours and every time I get through the set up I get the following response.

"This device isn't fully set up yet, so you'll have to set it up again to do that first mute your speaker by sliding the switch on the bottom"

I've tried to rest it about 10 times, used 2 WiFi connections and 3 separate devices.

At this point I'm out of options, so I figured I'd post here. Has anyone encountered similar issues
