Connecting Google Point to Verizon LTEHome Router

bc23 — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 15:00:14 GMT

I am trying to complete the set-up for the Google Nest Router. Every time I try to continue, the LTE Router drops its own wifi and connects to the Google wifi. I have tried using Google Home on my iPad and my Android.

--More info--

I have had to restart the modem and then the Google Router and continue to set up. It wants to join the new WIFI, so I click join. The issue occurs when it is looking for the ISP and check internet connection.

Is their a setting on my router I need to change or does Google Nest not work with this router?

Thanks for your help.

What exact LTE router?

Nest Wifi main router will only take internet through an ethernet cable, so the LTE router must have that.

It's also best to bridge the LTE router and make sure its' Wi-Fi is disabled before you are connecting up Nest Wifi to it, to avoid double NAT.

The Router Model is ASK-RTL108 and it does have 3 ethernet ports (WAN and 2 (LAN). I have it connected to the WAN port.

I am not very tech savvy but I do know how to get the LFE Router settings on the web. I do not know how to bridge the LTE router and I am assuming it is through one of the settings. I have tried turning off WIFI in the WIFI settings tab, but that did not work. There is a NAT Forward tab with the following choices: DMZ, UPnP, ALG and Virtual Servers. Could it be something in that section? Please help!

I don't know about that particular LTE router, Verizon should be able to answer you. Either ask them, do some Google-ing ( Ifound these: https://www.reddit.com/r/eero/comments/jbd465 , https://community.verizon.com/t5/4G-LTE-LTE-Advanced/Use-of-third-party-modem-with-LTE-Home-Internet-plan/td-p/1214605 ), or try to set Nest Wifi up using double NAT if bridging the LTE router doesn't seem possible.

This is probably the info you need from Verizon:
