“I have a Netgear cable modem WiFi router combo which I have in a designated place in my home (out of sight). Can I buy one Google WiFi router and place it next to my TV, without any wired connection to the Netgear cable modem?”

• No, the first one must be hardwired in. After that a max of 4 can be added via wifi.

• Google Wifi point is not compatible to work with 3rd party routers to create a mesh network. You can only use Google Wifi and Nest Wifi routers/points together to create a Wi-Fi mesh network. Google Wifi needs to be connected to your modem via the WAN port with an Ethernet cable. If your Netgear is a modem/router combo, we recommend disabling the Wi-Fi functionality of the combo to avoid a Double NAT case which may cause connectivity issues.
