What cat 6 cable do I need to connect the mesh hub to an additional access point is it straight through or a cross-over?

Hi @24879845

You can use a regular cat 5e or cat 6 cable. 🙂

All Google Wifi and Nest Wifi with ethernet ports (that excludes the "Nest Wifi point", which has no ports) has gigabit ports:

Any ethernet cable that is gigabit compatible (or greater) within the length of which you are going to use should be fine. Typically CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6a.

Any CAT6 cable will do just make sure it’s long enough to reach the point
