MPN Number Compatibility Nest WiFi Pro

[Startingtopuff]

Hi,

I have just purchased new a 3 pack of Nest wifi Pro routers with an MPN number of GA03690-GB. I would like to purchase a single but are concerned that I get a match for example G6ZUC, GA03030-GB are listed on various sites. Are they compatible? TIA.

Hi Startingtopuff,

Thanks for reaching out to our community.

I highly appreciate your inquiry about the compatibility of the Nest WiFi Pro routers with an MPN number GA03690-GB with other models like G6ZUC or GA03030-GB. I’m glad to assist you in finding the right answer.

At this moment, based on the available settings and features for the Nest WiFi Pro routers, they cannot be combined with earlier versions of Nest WiFi or Google WiFi routers or points in a single mesh network. Earlier generation products such as Nest WiFi and Google Wifi operate using the 5 GHz band for mesh connections and don't have compatible hardware to support WiFi 6E. Downgrading the Nest WiFi Pro's mesh to work with older systems would result in reduced performance for the entire network, as the mesh would no longer utilize the 6 GHz band on wider channels.

Since this option is not available, please consider sharing your thoughts directly with our development team through this feedback form. Your input will help us prioritize features and ensure that we're meeting the needs of our diverse user base.

Feel free to keep us posted if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Virna

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I think there may be some confusion as I am talking about Nest WiFi Pro routers with different MPN's. I fully understand the compatibility issues between the earlier non 'Pro' and '6e Pro' models.
