Nest Wifi Routers & Points 2 Ethernet Ports/Backhauling

[Wolframnhart]

I would love to see at least two ethernet ports on all future Google Nest Wifi products, just like the first generation Google introduced.  I have five first generations Google Wifi Routers I use across my property, all of them are backhauled. (Daisy Chained together via ethernet cable and ports. This prevents signal loss (Attenuation) over long distances.) I love the built in speaker idea on the new Nest Wifi Points, but I am unable to use them due to the lack of ethernet ports. My property is large and hard lining/Backhauling all my routers and point is necessary in order to maintain a strong signal throughout my house and shops.  Please, start adding TWO ethernet ports to all future Wifi Routers and Points so I can upgrade. Love your products, thanks for hearing me out.

Hi @Wolframnhart 

I have the same wish... When installing my Nest Wifi Pro setup, I came to one ethernet port short of connecting my Philips Hue bridge. So I had to buy a network switch which feels a bit too much, but it works just fine. 😊

I hope they will add some extra ports, but I understand with the current design language, it would fit that easily.

Thanks, I see the solution now. Also I think the current model has 2 ports.
