Neat Wifi Pro Bridge Mesh

Seion — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 21:58:20 GMT

I decided to go with OPNSense on my own hardware and want to see if I can still use Nest Wifi Pro in bridged mode and as mesh.

My setup will be:

Modem/ONT -> OPNSense Router -> Switch -> Nest Wifi Pros

I can hook one up successfully, but when I go to add the other two it fails to add them.

Mesh doesn't work in bridge mode. There are other mesh systems that supports this though, like Ubiquiti UniFi, TP-Link and Netgear.

😕Thanks. I went down the Ubiquiti path.

Hello everyone,

I appreciate your helpful input, @olavrb.

@Seion, thanks for the update. Like what olavrb said, enabling the bridge mode of the Google Nest Wifi Pro will disable most of the device's settings and security protections. See this link to learn more.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions in mind.

Sincerely,
Lovely
