Add unmanaged switch to Google Wifi Nest PRO 6E ?

[SorenAndreasen1]

Hi

Is it possible to add a unmanaged switch to a Google Wifi NEST PRO 6E device, that is not the primary ?

I want to connect a switch to a wifi point far away from the wifi router (primary nest device).

Is that possible ?

Thanks 🙂

Hello @SorenAndreasen1 

Yes, you can use both Ethernet ports on a secondary Nest WiFi Pro unit, and if you need more than two devices in that area, you can connect an inexpensive, unmanaged switch to either port.

I would make sure that secondary Nest WiFi Pro isn't truly "far" away from the primary/router Nest WiFi Pro unit, though – make sure it is close enough to get a "great" mesh test rating.

Thank you Michael.
I have 3 devices and want to Connect the switch to the last device. Hope it will work 🤗

I have a 8-port unmanaged switch connected to the pint with no issues.
