Google nest wifi as travel router

My question is whether the Google WiFi AC1200 can function in the same way: plug into an apartment wall ethernet connection and then provide wifi for multiple people in the apartment. There is only one jack ....

Hi @PeteS 

The device has a WAN port, theoretically, it could work.
But the Google Wifi devices are not configurable, so I recommend looking for an alternative.
