Trying out a Google Home Mini device. For setup, it needs the Google Home App on an Android or iOS device. For changing certain settings, it needs Google Assistant to be enabled on your phone. Since my current phone runs an earlier Android version than 5.0 which is the least required for Google Assistant, I am unable to change language of the device, unable to change the voice, and so on. Even changing the wifi network needs a different procedure than the one listed on google support.
So, my procedure, found by trial and error, was:
1. Open the Google Home app
2. Tap on the devices icon on top right corner.
3. If there is a card which says "your speaker name" speaker needs setup, and a setup link, you can use that.
4. Else, click on your device name, if it is listed, and the three dots on top right.
5. Choose reboot.
6. From the list of linked devices, unlink the device for which wifi needs to be set up.
7. Tap the back button to go to the home screen of the Home app.
7. Then the app would say that it has found one device which is ready for setup.
8. Click through to set up, including linking to an account and wifi settings.
9. When using a wifi network which was previously configured, it does not ask for the wifi password again.
