A:AnswerYou still need a modem. I have Spectrum phone and internet but my box is just a modem and not a router. I replaced my old router with Google Nest Mesh system.
A:AnswerNest Wifi router has 2 Ethernet ports. One of the ports connects to the modem's WAN port to receive the internet connection, and the other port can be used to wire a device (laptop,desktop PC, etc.). You can wire a switch with 4 Ethernet ports to the available port of the router.
A:AnswerA combination of your router/modem combo and Google Nest WiFi router can work but it would likely cause a Double NAT which is the case of two routers with each having their own private network. Although this is not always an issue, it can be an issue when playing online games or port forwarding. If it causes problems, we recommend putting your current router/modem combo into bridge mode. Once in bridge mode, you may choose whether or not to turn Wi-Fi off on your combo.
A:AnswerNest Wifi will work with your FIOS modem/router combo. However, having two routers broadcasting their own private networks may lead to some connection issues if you play online games and use port forwarding. This situation is called a Double NAT and you can find out more about it here: https://support.google.com/wifi/answer/6277579#what-is-double-nat
If you prefer to have only Nest Wifi router broadcasting your Wi-Fi network, then you would need to disable the Wi-Fi functionality of your combo. If you need assistance on how to do this, you may need to reach out to your internet service provider.
A:Answeryes it would since it is a wifi system. Keep in mind, it comes with google assistant on the mesh add-ons, so you'd need to disable google assistant on them.
A:AnswerThe Nest Wifi can be combined with Google Wifi points or Nest Wifi (routers or points) for additional coverage. All Google Wifi and Nest Wifi devices are compatible to create a mesh system. And we recommend a maximum of five Wifi points in a single mesh setup including the primary router. Also, the placement of your Wi-Fi router and points is vital to have reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. If the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it part way in that direction.

A:AnswerNest Wifi is compatible with most modems and internet service provider (ISP), including T-Mobile Internet Gateway. You need to connect Nest Wifi directly to your modem to get internet connection using the Ethernet cable to set it up and broadcast your Wi-Fi network. Keep in mind that the Nest Wifi will create it's own separate network (own SSID and password).

A:AnswerYes, you can. With Nest Wifi, you can connect your wired device to the Nest Wifi Router. However, we recommend using a switch to add some free ports since the Nest Wifi Router only has 2 Ethernet ports (LAN and WAN).
A:AnswerIt will likely work just fine. Just do yourself a huge favor and throw away the Xfinity garbage. Grab yourself a mid range modem instead to improve all performance aspects. Pro tip.
A:AnswerI’m pretty sure that’s what I have. The nest will take place of your existing router, and you can return it to spectrum. I am NOT a technical person and I was able to set it up very easily, works great!
A:AnswerNest Wifi needs to be connected to a modem provided by an Internet Service Provider to get internet connection. This bundle includes Nest Wifi router and Nest Wifi point.
A:AnswerYes, you can connect the Nest Wifi router to your Optimum router but you may need to put your modem/router combo into bridge mode or disable its Wi-Fi functionality in order to set up Nest Wifi router as your primary router, and create a mesh Wi-Fi system throughout your home.
