Google WiFi with two Networks

I don’t know if I totally understand what’s possible and what’s not when it comes to having more than one network with Google WiFi. Is it possible to have a network for say ‘home’ stuff and another network for my ‘work’ stuff?

Hello @kelsheikh 

Possibly, though with some restrictions. Google/Nest WiFi supports a main network name + password and also supports a secondary "guest" network that has its own name + password. You could think about setting up that "guest" network and using it for your "work" stuff, which should keep things separate but still allow everything access to the internet. Here's an article on setting up and configuring the guest network: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6327302?hl=en
