Nest pro advice

Hi this has probably been asked many times....

My new house will have "Fiber To The Premises" and I will have 3 data points in the lounge one for the TV one for the streaming box and one for the Google Nest pro. It is a 4-bedroom house single level with two other data points throughout the house. 

My questions are If I put one nest in my office and plug it into the data point and I will then plug my PC into the Nest will I still be able to use the Nest still give off a WiFi signal.

When using the Nest as my router can I plug it into the data point in the lounge room and use it as the router from there or do I need to connect it in the garage to the NBN box. I don't think I need a modem for FTTP

We are two people that are medium users and there will be no brick walls or other such structures in the house. It is single level house and 192 Meters Squared. Should I get a two pack or 3 pack of the Nest pro. 

Thanking you in advance

Yes.

The WAN port on your primary Nest Wifi router must connect by ethernet cable to your fiber box/modem/ modem/router combination provided by your ISP.

Wi-Fi coverage and speed is affected by so many factors, so there's no exact science to this. There's good advice on that here:
