DHCP pass through from internet router

Pgreen7436 — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 14:05:43 GMT

I want the dhcp on the spectrum router to hand out up addresses to the clients in the nest Wi-Fi. How do I set that up?

If you want to run more than one Nest Wifi unit in wireless mesh, that is not officially supported.

There are some workarounds that might work though, like described in this Reddit thread:

For more info on such a workaround, search for "nest wifi" and "pi-hole" on Google search.

Hello Pgreen7436,

Our apologies for the late reply. A few questions: how many Nest Wifi router and points do you have? Also, were you able to check the link olavrb sent? Let us know if it helped.

I have three Google Wifi Routers that are setup in a mesh. The main one connects to an ethernet switch that connects to my Spectrum router.
