Windows 11 lets you run Android apps 😂

Hi @MarshaGee

I am afraid the Google Nest Wifi Pro is only able to be setup by using the Google Home app.
This app is used to search for the device and also could use the camera to make the setup more easily to scan a QR code.

You are able to find the requirement for the setup over HERE. 🙂

Most new mesh seem to be this way, Eero and Arris for sure are the same way.

Thank you all for the answers. I don't thinkI will go through the process to run the Google Home app on my Win 11 computer.

It seems odd that the setup of a Nest router is only via the app. I do everything on the internet (and local network) via my Chrome browser. Things I manage on my current ASUS mesh router is complex from a seeing lots on a page and typing complex things like MAC addresses, etc. is too much for me on the Pixel phone.

For now, I will just skip my upgrade to the Google Nest Pro, I guess.

Thanks again for your time and replies.
