Setup wifi ethernet

[GJD]

Can I use an Ethernet connection away from the home modem to connect my google wifi mesh router point #1?

[olavrb]

Yes, the #1/main/primary/master Nest Wifi unit MUST be connected by ethernet. As long as that cable is within specifications and working as intended, it can be 30cm or 50 meters (CAT6a for instance).

Here is the general set up guide:

Thanks for the info, olavrb.

Hi GJD,

I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw olavrb's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hey everyone,

It looks like we've slowed down here. We'll be closing up the thread in the next day unless anyone else has any input or needs anything else. If so, just let me know and we can keep this open a bit longer.

Thanks,
Jeff
