A:AnswerBelieve that you would need a router in between the network adapter and the modem to make it function.
my modem came in bridge mode and all I had to do was plug in the router after it as set up.
A:AnswerYes, i specifically bought it to use with google nest. works great so far. i am not sure about the internet service you mention. I use Avaya VOIP with no issues but my service provider is xfinity. You can call your service provider to confirm or check their website.
