Questions & Answers
Will this work with my AT&T U-verse NVG599 gateway?
Answered by Nest SupportYes, Google Nest WiFi can work with your system. But NVG599 is a modem/router combo and you would need to put it in bridge mode or disable its Wi-Fi functionality in order to set up Nest WiFi as your primary router and create a mesh Wi-Fi system throughout your home.
Can I have the AC1200 work with the AC2200?
Answered by Google Nest SupportYes, AC2200 is Nest WiFi router while the AC1200 is Nest WiFi point. You can connect them to each other wirelessly to create a mesh network.
How does it work? We have Spectrum WiFi now and want to switch to Google Nest. Is it as simple as purchasing the 2pack plugging it in and we have WiFi?? Or do we need something more?
Answered by BlejYes and no. If your modem is easily accessible, has an empty port AND a close by electrical outlet and there is an outlet where you want to locate the hub - you could be up and running in 10 - 15 minutes. It took me about 30 minutes as I needed a ladder, had reroute a long extension cord to reach an almost inaccessible outlet for the main orb, and find an asthetically suitable location with an outlet for the second. Our than that it is super easy. Plug in the network cable and power, load an app on your phone, name the new network and password, answer some simple questions, push a button and wait a few minutes and you're up and running. Our house is over 3300 square feet, two stories and the property is long. We now have very strong wifi throughout the house and property. Works very well for us.
does this cover a 2 story 5000 sq home?
Answered by captainYes, I have over 5000 sq ft, 3 level home. The router is located on the upper third level floor, one point on the first and second level ; The 1st level floor is 12 ft cement block walls and wifi is great on all three levels.
If I have at&t fiber wifi internet can I use this google wifi router/mesh with it. So it will make my wifi faster and extend better. I'm so confused. I need to know what I can use. Also it says up to 200 connected devices. Is this possible.
Answered by ManofHouseYes, it can be used with AT&T fiber. We gave it a different network name from the AT&T wi-fi modem and now connect wireless devices to it. We positioned one device in the front of the house and one in the back which eliminated poor reception spots. Not sure about the purported 200 devices supported as we only have approximately 30.
