If you purchase an ethernet switch, and plug devices into it, and then switch to the router, than you will achieve this, but otherwise, there is no other option unless the devices are Wi-Fi enabled.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Connecting Nest Wifi router to your current 3rd party router will cause a Double NAT which is the case where each router will have its own private network. Double NAT may cause issues with online gaming and port forwarding. You can keep the 3rd party router in Bridge Mode and then set up Nest Wifi or you can remove the 3rd party router, set up the Nest Wifi as primary router connected directly to your modem and connect the 3rd party router to one of Nest Wifi as a switch by disabling its Wi-Fi functionality.
