Google Wifi can't really work with 3rd party routers like your existing router since it will create a double NAT scenario that can cause connectivity issues. You can only use Google Wifi and Nest Wifi Routers/Points together to create a Wi-Fi mesh network. If you're using a modem/router combo, we recommend putting it in Bridge mode and disable its Wi-Fi functionality so you can set up Google Wifi as your primary point directly connected to your modem via the WAN port using an Ethernet cable. You may then set up the other Google Wifi Points as secondary points to your primary or hardwire them directly.

No, it is it’s own router. It along with other pucks forms a mesh network.
