Do you set all your devices to connect to google wifi?

Kara — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 16:23:43 GMT

Once google wifi is set up, I see that some of my devices are connecting to it because of proximity. Is it best to have them all connect to google wifi or keep some connecting directly to my original wifi too?

You would want your devices on the same network, especially if they are smart home devices, so that they can communicate properly.

Yes this will ensure that everything got to communicate with each other. Personally I like to only run one Wi-Fi network at home as it reduces potential communication conflicts from stray signals.

Hey, all.

It looks like we got this one resolved and since we haven't had any recent activity, I'm going to go ahead and close up the thread. If anyone has anything else they need, please feel free to start up a new thread.
