I retired my netgear and used this instead. my at&t fiber has built in wifi that I shut off, connected this nest and was good to go. You could do it the way you're suggesting but both wifi signals being on could cause collision

Nest Wifi can form a Wi-Fi mesh only with Nest Wifi and Google Wifi routers/points. If you use Nest Wifi router and Netgear router in the same Wi-Fi network, it creates a Double NAT which may cause connectivity issues when playing online games or port-forwarding. We recommend setting up Nest Wifi router as your primary router wired to the modem with Ethernet cable and then putting the other router in Bridge mode by disabling its Wi-Fi functionality to avoid Double NAT.
