I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here. But, in case this helps, the primary (router + firewall) Google WiFi unit requires an Ethernet connection to the internet. If you have a WiFi hotspot only, you won't be able to connect them directly. There have been some reports of people using a "travel router" as a bridge to make it work, but it's not going to perform all that well, so I would consider it a temporary solution only.

Hi, cdub.
I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw MichaelP's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.
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
