How do I connect two Google Wifi 2nd gen to the same wifi?

[Jomas]

I live in a two story house and need to increase our wifi range. One of the Google Wifis are connected to the WAN outlet in the house on the 1st floor. After Ive connected the 2nd Google Wifi with only the power cable, Google Home tells me to connect it to WAN - which is impossible because the 1st one is connected to it. How do I make them sync without connecting it to WAN? Grateful for help!

Follow setup instructions:

Make sure you are logged into the Google Home app with the same Google account used for setting up the first point/unit.

If you are using an iOS device for the setup, see:

You could also move the 2nd point to the same room as the primary one during setup, to rule out connectivity issues. Then move it after setup is complete, it has updated itself and rebooted.
