Can you use a google wifi point to provide a connection via ethernet to a device if the google wifi point is only connected via WiFi to a router? I currently have a Nest mesh system, but one of my devices is hard to reach and can only connect via ethernet.
Yes, you should be able to add a Google WiFi unit as a "point" to your Nest WiFi system and use its Ethernet ports for nearby devices. It should be close enough to the primary Nest WiFi Router unit to get a strong 5GHz connection for itself, though.
