Google home mini not found

I just got a Google home mini and wanted to set it up but for some reason the Google app can't find it no matter what I do?

Hi @user_rbc3jk sorry to hear you are having trouble connecting this device. Are you still experiencing issues at this time? Is it not recognizing your home network?

Thank you @user_rbc3jk Are you connected to the same Wi‑Fi network that you want the Google Home to use? Is your gateway broadcasting separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network names, or a single combined network? (our gateways would automatically be combined and use the best connection available)

No just this one. I tried resetting the router and that didn't help either
