Google Wifi Downstream connections

unclsams — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 22:41:58 GMT

I just got the Google AC1200 Wifi from costco and trying to achieve the following, need confirmation if this would work:

Option A: Modem --> Switch --> Google Wifi-Router

Verizon Modem LAN port to Ethernet Switch WAN Port (wired)

Ethernet Switch LAN Port (wired) to Google Wifi RouterWAN Port (wired)

Ethernet Switch LAN ports have wires connected to various rooms across 3 floors and would like to connect the Google Wifi points (or satellites) to the switches via these ethernet wire/cables.

This is how I currently have NETGEAR 6 MESH WI-FI and works perfectly fine.

Looks like this isnt recommended in Google docs/forums.

Option B: Modem --> Google Wifi-Router ---> Switch --> Multiple Google Points

Verizon Modem LAN port to Google Wi-fi Router WAN port (wired)

Google Wifi Router LAN Port- Ethernet Switch WAN Port (wired)

Ethernet Switch LAN ports have wires connected to various rooms across 3 floors and would like to connect the Google Wifi points (or satellites) to the switches via these ethernet wire/cables.

Will either of these work ? my goal is to have a wired connection between the Google Points and Googe Wifi Router.

Thanks in advance.

Put the modem in bridge mode / bypass mode, then wire it all up like this:
