A:AnswerThese are WiFi extenders, you still need a router to assign IP addresses to all your devices. Google only extends what you already have. The Modem translates the internet signal, the router sends it to the different devices and assigns an address so internet traffic can be routed properly and the extenders make it possible to have seamless WiFi throughout your house.
A:AnswerThese devices require the wall outlet on order to be powered fully. As far as I'm aware there isn't a desktop app, although you can use a Google nest hub or nest hub max as well as the Google home app in order to control them. You will require the phone app in order to configure them however you need.
A:AnswerYou will need a modem which you should already have from your internet service provider. This device will not provide internet service if you do not already have it from a serviceprovider. It only converts your current internet service into wifi. You will not need to purchase nothing else.
