Nest WiFi router requires to be connected to a modem with working internet and your Google Fiber Network Box is a modem/router combo. We recommend setting up Nest WiFi router as your primary router for strong and reliable Wi-Fi distribution. If you just hard-wire Nest WiFi router to the Network Box, you will have 2 routers with each distributing its own private network which can be an issue for online gaming and port forwarding. This is called Double NAT and you can avoid it by turning off the Wi-Fi functionality of Network Box or putting in it in bridge mode.
