2016 Google wifi

I'm currently using a 2006 Google Wi-Fi model, it's connected to my Xfinity modem router, that also includes voice. I'm considering on purchasing Arris modem router where the voice to replace the Xfinity router so I don't have to pay 180 bucks a year for a 3-year-old modem. When I buy the new modem and set it up do I have to reset or do anything to the Google Wi-Fi access point that's connected into the modem, like starting from scratch.

Sorry I got a typo it's a 2016 not a 2006

If you get the same WAN IP from your ISP if changing modem, you should be good. Ask them about it. Else, if the WAN IP/ global ip changes, I've experienced that my Nest Wifi router had a hard time picking up the change and get internet connection again.

It _should_ work even if IP changes. But worst case you have to factory reset you Google Nest Wifi puck(s) (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6246619?hl=en) and set them up from scratch (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9548301).


I don't work for Google.

Thank you for your response
