No. Nest Wifi requires to be connected to a modem using an Ethernet cable. Take a look at this link for the setup requirements and guide on how to setup Nest Wifi: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9548301

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you will need to get the Google Nest router and a Google Nest Point. There should be Ethernet ports in the back of your Fios. Use an Ethernet cable and make a connection from your Fios to the Google Nest router. Then you should be able to connect to the Google Nest points thru your house. Remember to go into the Fios and turn off the router function since you are using the Google Nest router as your new router. I have the same set up since I have the T-Mobile Home WiFi system. If you keep the same SSI (WiFi name) and password, all tour devices should connect automatically. Hope this helps! Good luck!
