Nest Wifi router behind Ubiquity USG Pro

[claushansendk]

Hi,

I want to put an USG Pro between the ISP and Nest Wifi router, to enable failover with a backup ISP.

I have internet on the ISP->Nest Router and also on ISP-USG, but the with the combination ISP->USG->Nest Wifi,  completely confuses the Nest and I am not able to configure it with the Google Home app.

Any suggestions ?

Any way to have e real technical config interface on the Nest system in stead of the "user friendly" Home app ?

Factory reset Nest Wifi before putting it behind the USG router, then set it up from scratch. Making sure you don't block anything Nest Wifi needs for setup and operations, of course.

• Remember that Nest Wifi is an router with NAT, firewall, DHCP, you'll now have double NAT with two routers, by default at least.

No, it's just the Google Home app in any forseable future. Feature requests can be provided as feedback in the Google Home app.

No. I’m sure the solution is to do a Factory reset….I just didnt have the time (or the family approved service window yet) ☺️
