Yes, Google Nest WiFi system can work with Xfinity WiFi. If your current modem is a modem/router combo, we recommend putting your combo in Bridge mode to avoid a Double NAT as it may cause connection issues due to creating 2 private networks. You can check out this support article for Bridge mode and Double NAT: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6240987
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm using the nest wifi to run my house and am having no issues at all for coverage. The main hub replaces the router and plugs directly into the spectrum modem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should be fine. However if your current modem also broadcasts a WiFi signal, sometimes they will interfere with each other.. you’ll be better off getting a regular cable modem and just running the nest. We have 2800sqft and it covers good
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it should work just fine with your xfinity equipment. You'll want to turn off the xfinity router feature and use only the modem portion. Then let the Google nest system act as your wireless router
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Google nest works with virtually any router. The main point plugs into your router via an ethernet port. The set up is very easy and straight forward. I just upgraded from the first generation Google wifi to the 2nd generation Google nest wifi and I couldn't be happier. Noticeable improvement over last years model which was already much better than my standard router. You won't be disappointed.
