Wireless router + Google Wifi?

PedroSuarez — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 12:41:42 GMT

Hello everyone,

As I am quite "mobile", I don't use a wired router, but a wireless one with a sim card... Can I still connect the Google/Nest wifi with my wireless router at home?

Thanks in advance

Hello @PedroSuarez

Google/Nest WiFi requires an Ethernet connection to the internet. If your wireless router has an Ethernet port, you should be able to set up a Google WiFi or Nest WiFi system through it. If not, then the answer isn't exactly "no", but it's a lot more complicated, requires purchasing more equipment and configuring it carefully.

Hey, PedroSuarez.

It looks like @MichaelP was able to help you out, but before I mark this as resolved, I wanted to make sure you're all set and that you didn't need anything else here. If you're still needing anything, let me know.

Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
