• 3rd party routers like your Netgear 81 are not compatible to form a Wi-Fi mesh together with Nest Wifi. You can only combine Nest Wifi and Google Wifi to create a Wi-Fi mesh. If you'd like to increase the Wi-Fi coverage and bandwidth speed, you can create a Nest Wifi mesh with the primary Nest Wifi router wired to your modem. If you have a modem/router combo, we recommend putting it in Bridge mode to avoid Double NAT as it may cause connectivity issues.

• The google Mesh WiFi system’s main hub connects directly to your modem, then the second hub connects wirelessly back to the main (or first) hub.
