Yes, you just add it to your existing mesh. I originally bought the 3 pack and had to add a 4th for better coverage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.These are multi-use. They operate alone or as additions to like equipment...basically you can add this to an existing one just like it and make it a mesh network of now 2 wifi devices or add it to an existing mesh network and increase its workload support and coverage or just use it as a single wifi router if you didn't already have one or replaceing a different faulty router.....but they don't play well with others not like them. They might connect but there will likely be a bottleneck and cause more frustration than benefit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello there! Thanks for the question. The Nest Wifi Pro can't be combined with Nest Wifi or Google Wifi (Wi-Fi 5) in a mesh network. To take advantage of the new Wi-Fi 6E technology, mesh connectivity must run exclusively between Nest Wifi Pro nodes over the 6 GHz band.
