“How far from the main wifi point does the add on need to be? I have the main Google Wifi upstairs in my most corner bedroom but would like better coverage downstairs in the living room. Can I just place the Google Wifi Add-On downstairs?”

As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. If the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it part way in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf. To provide Wi-Fi coverage to every corner of your home, the connection between each point needs to be strong. Make sure the Nest Wifi router and points are evenly spread out but not too far from each other. Try to perform a mesh test to make sure that location gives you a good connection.
