Replacing OnHub with Nest Wi-Fi Router on frontier fiber without modem

[jaredgwilkinson]

Hi All -

For the last year, my internet has worked great with frontier fiber and google Onhub router. I have not been using a modem because my ISP told me I didn’t need one when they installed it. 

I am attempting to upgrade to Nest Wi-Fi but, when I follow the instructions for setting it up, the google home app tells me the network is offline. I plugged the OnHub back in and the internet worked immediately. 

Any suggestions for setting up Nest Wi-Fi with Frontier Fiber?

Hi, everyone.

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

Thanks,
