No this is a "router" just like any other router. It works off your LAN/modem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If that device has an ethernet/network port (RJ45 port) then you should be able to connect the Google system. If it does not have a physical port then most likely the Google system will not work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Short answer is no. One of the Google Wifi pucks will need to be connected to a wired modem. You could use a WiFi range extender to do what you're looking to do. However, and this is just my perspective, I've never been able to get them to work well in a home.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'd say probably not. To start off, the "Jetpack" is just another form of "internet" as far as the user is consider (e.g., such as cable, or DSL). However, if I'm correct, the primary of the Google Wifi hub acts like a router, and that is required to be connected to a ethernet cable which typically comes from a modem. With that said, I'm not sure if the Jetpack has a ethernet output to connect to the Google wifi hub, my take is no.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes, you can plug in the google wifi to your existing router lan ports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsJp3N6tUVg&t=28s please watch this video for details.
