Modem has only one Ethernet port

[Kezloz]

My modem has only one Ethernet port.How can I connect Google wifi mesh?

What modem brand and model? Or could you take some pictures?

Nest Wifi main/ master puck requires an ethernet cable, RJ45, with access to internet to function. That's a hard requirement.

That's a desktop computer, not a modem. It can be connected to Nest Wifi by ethernet cable. If the one free port on the Nest Wifi router is not enough, you can add an unmanaged switch:

So either without an additional swich:

• Modem -> Nest Wifi router WAN port
• Then from Nest Wifi LAN port -> desktop PC

Or with an unmanaged switch:

• Modem -> Nest Wifi router WAN port
• Then from Nest Wifi LAN port -> Unmanaged switch any port
• Then from unmanaged switch any port -> desktop PC
