“Does this replace my AT&T Uverse router? Will Nest and Wemo connect with it with no problem?”

You'll want to connect one of the Google WiFi points to your Uverse router with the included network cable. Then, if possible, disable wifi on the Uverse router (if it has wireless and it's enabled). Google WiFi seems to work best when it's the main wifi for your house. I don't have wemo, but I do have Nest and SmartThings. Both connect perfectly, and I've seen quite a boost in speed/quality from my old wireless router. Very happy with it so far.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Those pictures look like the AT&T Uverse modem, but I could be wrong since I don't have that system. This product is a router that you connect to the cable/DSL modem (or other modem device). Don't your entertainment devices already connect to the existing network? Is there any requirement from UVerse to keep the existing network? Swapping out the router may not be a good idea until you check with Uverse to see if there is any requirement to use their setup. If you have your heart set on this system, you can connect this product to your existing router using one of the existing ethernet ports (keeping everything else the same); if you do this, you would create a whole new network in your location using this Google Wifi product while still keeping the Uverse network. Both networks would still share the same available bandwidth. With regards to the Nest and Wenmo ability to connect, I don't have experience with them, but this is simply a router setup creating a new network. Whatever issues you had or didn't have setting up the Nest and Wemo on your current network would be the same when attempting to setup on this Google network using this product. This would apply to any devices you attempt to add to your home or business network and isn't dependent upon the router system you have installed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a Charter cable modem and I also had my own wireless router that connected to it. I replaced my own wireless router with the new Google Wifi 3-pack. I have used LinkSys, Netgear, and ASUS wireless routers over the years. The Google Wifi is superior in every way that is important to me. Setup is super simple, wifi coverage is outstanding, and reliability has been perfect. i also found that even with 18 active devices that performance is outstanding and my speed limit is now my 60 MB connection from Charter. So, to answer the first part of your question, I think you will need to retain your AT&T router (as it is also the modem), but you can disable the wifi and connect the Google wifi to it. Finally, I connected a LinkSys 16 port switch to the primary Google wifi device to support the numerous wired devices we have (desktops, old laser printer, Tivo, Roku) I easily connected laptops, smartphones, tablets, and printers with no problems. I suspect your wifi devices will connect just fine. You control your wifi devices from your smartphone which makes things very easy.

I have the same AT&T modem that you have in the photo. Based on the instructions I would say that you have to have a modem to connect to the Google Wifi and that Google Wifi is a router network
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will work with nest and other wifi devices. It will replace a router but not a modem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this does not replace your router.
