Hello @Gleno1975

Yes, that setup should work fine. Here's a link with more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7215624?hl=en but the short version is the diagram you have here should work fine. Just watch out for smart/managed Ethernet switches – they can cause issues. I also like to get new secondaries/points set up near the primary/router unit as wireless mesh units first and give them time to complete any pending firmware updates, etc. Then, move them to their final location and connect them vis Ethernet. You can use the app to look at the details for each of those secondaries to ensure they are connected via "wired" rather than "mesh", too. I would also run a mesh test after connecting them via Ethernet to double-check they are connecting at 1Gbps instead of 100Mbps. Good luck!

It looks like you and MichaelP were able to sort out an answer here. Before I mark this as resolved I just wanted to check in and see if there was anything else you might need. If so, just me know!

Thanks.
