Google Home won't connect

Google Home will not connect to broadband E5-250MA, comes up with error message 'speaker may be set up, but we could not communicate with it from your iPhone. Make sure that you have enabled local network access in your iPhone’s privacy settings.' and suggests to change APN settings. Have tried both 3internet and three.co.uk settings for APN but neither work - is there any way to fix this please/has anyone else had this problem? My Google Home used to work with other broadbands before now moving over to Three.

Hello, Dora. 

APN settings are usually just for mobile network access, and don't really impact your local network. I'm unsure why the advice would have been to change that setting, as I believe the issue you're having is that the devices are unable to talk directly to each other, locally? 

Is the speaker showing up in the app? If so, are you able to connect to it via the internet rather than locally? 

Pete.
