A:AnswerYes. Nest Wifi is compatible with most modems and internet service providers (ISP). You can connect Nest Wifi directly to your modem with the Ethernet cable to set it up and broadcast your Wi-Fi network.

A:AnswerNest Wifi replaces your current router as the primary point, and connects directly to your modem with an Ethernet cable for a stronger and more reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. You can still use your 3rd party router as a downstream switch, but put it in Bridge mode or disable the Wi-Fi functionality of your router to avoid double NAT. Double NAT is where both your current router and Nest Wifi router will be broadcasting their own private networks with identical SSID and password that might cause connectivity issues.

A:AnswerYou can do what you are describing. That is how I have connected mine, and it works beautifully--MUCH better than the wifi from the Fiber box. Speed is fantastic all over my house, and it hasn't dropped a single time in eleven months; the Fiber box used to drop signal all the time.
A:AnswerYes. It will work as one Wi-Fi mesh system either way. All Nest Wifi and Google Wifi routers and points are compatible with each other and works together using mesh technology.
