Hi Ken, yes, you can definitely use the other ac2200 as a point. I have a large house with one ac2200 plugged into my comcast router, another upstairs as well as two other older Nest routers in other locations in the house. It should sync pretty easily. A couple things I would try are trying to sync them up closer together and then once meshed, move the second router where you really want it. The second thing you may need to do is reset the router that home is having trouble finding. This should be pretty easy to do with the ac2200's as they have buttons on them for this purpose (some of my older Nest routers don't and it took me forever to figure out how to reset them). You should be able to find YouTube videos that show how to reset you AC2200 though and it is pretty easy. Good luck!

You can simply add additional Wifi points to your existing network. All additional Wifi devices added, including Nest Wifi routers, are considered points in the mesh network. Please see this link for more details and guide on how to add: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9548301 We recommend a maximum of 6 Wifi points in a single mesh setup including the primary router.
