Q: QuestionSo these new add-ons don’t have anyway to connect a device directly to them via Ethernet? That seems like a downgrade to me. I have the old version and all units had an Ethernet connection.

Q: QuestionDoes this work with a comcast modem to prevent lagging on a PS4?

Asked 5 years ago by DeeL.

• A:Answer Nest Wifi works with most modems and internet service providers. You can connect Nest Wifi directly to your modem using the Ethernet cable to set it up and broadcast your Wi-Fi network. Nest Wifi is equipped with 4x4 antenna that helps broadcast strong and reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. You can also try to hard wire your PS4 to the Nest Wifi by connecting one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the Nest Wifi router and connect the other end to your PS4 console for a more stable internet connection.

Q: QuestionI'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE GOOGLE FIBER AND LOOKING TO EXTEND THE RANGE. IS THIS PRODUCT COMPATIBLE WITH MY 1GB GOOGLE FIBER ROUTER THAT WAS PROVIDED WITH MY SERVICE? MODEL# IS GFRG200

Asked 5 years ago by FIBERFAN.

• A:Answer Yes, Google Nest Wifi works with Google Fiber modem/router combo just like any other ISP provided service. You can disable your Google Fiber modem/router Wi-Fi functionality and set up Google Nest Wifi router as the main router to broadcast Wi-Fi throughout your home. However, Google Fiber can't be added to the Google Nest Wifi mesh network.

Q: QuestionCan I add a wifi extender such as Netgear to a Google Mesh system?

Asked 4 years ago by Erics.

• A:Answer Nest Wifi isn't compatible with 3rd party routers or access points. It is only compatible with Nest Wifi routers and points and Google Wifi points to create a whole Wi-Fi mesh system. Extenders may or may not work. In general, if the extender’s setup instructions don’t make you change Nest Wifi or Google Wifi’s settings, it should work. Nest Wifi are compatible with most universal range extenders, repeaters, travel routers, and devices that support: - Client mode - AP client mode - ProxySTA Compatibility also depends on the 3rd party device. You may contact the 3rd party device supplier to confirm.
