(✓) Modem → Third-party router → Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point → Google Wifi point With this configuration, you may run into Double NAT, which isn't necessarily a problem. But if it is causing problems, it's recommended to put your third-party router in bridge mode. Once in bridge mode, you may choose whether or not to turn Wi-Fi off on your third-party router. https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7215624#zippy=%2Cinclude-a-third-party-router-upstream-of-the-primary-wifi-point-not-recommended
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I connected my google mesh directly into my modem that is a combo so it has both modem and router and it still works perfectly
