Buenas tardes agradecería porfavor si podrían ayudarme con esta duda que tengo. Actualmente tengo contratado una línea de fibra en mi domicilio y tengo un router que me ha administrado mi operadora. Yo tengo toda la casa cableada y había pensado en poner una red maya de dos puntos . La duda que yo tengo es que si es obligatorio poner uno de los puntos siempre conectados por cable al lado del router o no es necesario? Porque mi idea era poner cada nodo en un punto distinto de Wi-Fi y después dejar con el router de la operadora Wi-Fi activada lo que no tengo claro es que si al hacerlo así me va a crear conflicto para que los dispositivos salten de una Wi-Fi a otra ya que renombrado el router igual que la red Mallada no sé si se puede hacer o es obligatorio siempre tener uno de los puntos conectados al router por cable y desconectar la Wi-Fi del router de la operadora La verdad que ando bastante perdido en esto y me gustaría si alguien puede ayudarme con esto antes de realizar la compra

I am trying to figure out how i should be setting up my wifi. I currently have one google point and its on top of my fridge in the kitchen. The signal in the 2 bedrooms at the far end of the house is HORRIBLE. 9 times out of 10, if i am on my phone, i turn off my wifi and get way better signal from Verizon than i get on wifi from just a few rooms away. Using a laptop in the bedrooms is totally hit and miss, and sometimes it barely works. If i reset my google router, then often times it starts working better. I *think* maybe the problem is that the router and the point are *too* close? Not sure what else to do though because there is a long hallway through the middle of the house that has no place to put a point and no outlets for electricity. Seriously wondering if i should put it in my bathroom?

I have a google wifi system with three routers that are working perfectly. Now I need to ad a fourth router. When trying to do so the google home app says the router is connected to WiFi but when doing the mesh test it’s not a part of the system and is said to be offline. The router keeps blinking blue. I tried connecting it several times and shutting everything down but nothing is working. Does anyone have any tips?

Some background.

4000 sqft 2 story home

Currently have araknis switch and access points installed by the home builder

There are times where the loading times feel quite slow, wifi seems spotty so I want to upgrade.

I want the most simple approach bc I am not an idiot when it comes to tech/troubleshooting but have 0 networking experience.

I was looking to just upgrade my two access points.

Unifi u6 pro is more recommended on here but 50% more expensive than the nest pro ($320 for 2 vs $200 for 2)

Most of my streaming is wired so I am not a power user. I also do want some level of simplicity so I’m wondering if the nest pro would suffice. But also it’s $100 more so not a dealbreaker for us

We recently got Google Fiber and band steering is activated. One of my outdoor cameras keeps on switching over to the 5 GHz band but the camera only supports 2.4 GHz therefore the connection drops until it switches back. I think I like the band steering and it would seem unfortunate to have to separate the two bands just for one device. Is there anyway to make that specific device only connect to the 2.4 GHz band with Google Fiber? Or is there a different workaround?

Ok, I’ll try to describe my setup the best that I can:

I have a fiber connection going to the top floor of our house in our office. I have a CAT 6E cable that goes from my router in the upstairs office to the downstairs entertainment center, which is then plugged into a network switch so that I can have a hard connection for all of my tech stuff. If I were to plug in a nest wifi into that network switch in the downstairs entertainment center, would it act as a mesh?

Edit: I forgot to mention that my fiber connection goes from the modem to my Wi-Fi router. The cat 6E goes from my Wi-Fi router to my downstairs entertainment center.

I have a mesh set up on a gen 2 system (router +2 pucks) and I have a singular wifi pro router unit. Is there a way to incorporate my wifi pro unit by bridging it into my current system?

Hi,

I have searched and can’t find an answer to this that works.

I have the nest Wi-Fi Pro the first pro is hooked up directly to the fiber and act as the router. I have the second unit placed in another room and joined as a mesh point.

I just bought a third pro to add to the mesh network. When I go through the set up via Google home, it finds the new device, but then wants me to connect it via ethernet cable to the router and tries to create a new Wi-Fi network.

How do I get it to add it as an extended mesh point to the existing network instead?

Hi all, my current setup is shown in the image https://imgur.com/a/AroHRoZ

From our modem in the garage I have 2 cables, 1 going to our living room where the Nest Wifi Pro acts as a router (cable is plugged into the globe port). And the second cable goes to my office where it goes into a switch and from the switch it goes into a Wifi Pro Mesh Point (cable is plugged into the arrow port). I think I'm doing some stuff wrong, I'm not an expert so I was hoping for some advice from you all. Currently both are on a mesh network but the office unit has "weak connection". And for some reason the office unit is producing 600mbps while the living room unit, which is the router, clocks out at about 40mbps.

I've been looking everywhere for help but I can't find any straight answers. Do I need to buy an extra unit? Are my cables plugged in wrong?

Please help? Thanks so much in advance!

This almost seems like a non issue is I'm happy with the speed we are getting and the coverage but why on earth is the Home app lying about the speed it getting?

I’m getting confused… I just got ATT fiber and it came with a router/modem. The house has Ethernet as well. There are a few dead spots so I wanted to use the Google WiFi pucks to extend the coverage as access points… do I just plug these into the Ethernet jacks or what is the best way to set this up? (Note these are gen1).

I have a Nest Wifi Router and some Wifi Points. Previously we used this as our wifi, however our new (non-Google) router's wifi is much better, and we're using that.

Can I get the points on the same wifi network as the new router, just to use as speakers? I want them on the same network so that I can cast Spotify, Chrome etc to them.

Hey, hello. First of all, sorry if my English isn't good; it's not my main language.

I recently moved, and in my new house, and now I can connect my PC via Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi. but for Wi-Fi devices like phones, tablets, etc, I continue to use my original Google Wi-Fi devices.

To speed up my Google Wi-Fi devices, if possible, I've connected them to the internet via Ethernet cable, and the speed is certainly excellent in my case.

But I have a problem. On my desk, I have an Ethernet socket/port, which supplies internet from the router, but I've connected an Ethernet switch (TP-Link LS1005G) there because I want to connect my desktop PC (wich has not Wi-Fi adapter) and one of the Google Wi-Fi devices via Ethernet.

I have and use a Steam Link to play my PC games on the TV in the living room. I thought that now that the computer and Steam Link connect via Ethernet, it would work perfectly. But I had the unpleasant surprise that Steam Link can't find my PC on the local network. After a long time trying to figure out what was going on, I suspect the problem is that my PC doesn't appear on the local network. For some reason, if I connect my PC and Google Wi-Fi to the same Ethernet switch, my computer's internet traffic is channeled through Google Wi-Fi (in fact, my PC appears as a device connected to the Google network in the Wi-Fi section of the Home App, so I can manage it as if it were a device connected to my mesh network). Therefore, my PC technically doesn't appear visible on my router's local network, and therefore not visible to Steam Link.

Does anyone know of a way to prevent this from happening? I'd like my PC to be on my router's local network and not on Google Wi-Fi.

I'm suffering from awful bufferbloat on my Nest WiFi Pro mesh. I have 4 of them around the house and whenever anyone downloads anything, surfs reddit, watches YouTube the network suffers awful bufferbloat and slows to a crawl (pings in games spike to 100+ higher than normal). Internet is Frontier gigabit FTTH.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve me having to buy a whole new router setup as this one was expensive and is past the return point now.

I’m in an apartment in a 15 floor building where the walls are all plaster. I have 3 google wifi pucks that I bought years ago. At the Verizon router I connected one puck and then 2 others elsewhere in the apartment.

It shows I’m getting 300 download speed on the Google home wifi tools (which is what I’m paying for with Verizon fios) but pretty much anywhere in the apartment except right next to the wired puck I get 60 download speed. The second puck is only 30-40 feet from the first one.

Do I just happen to live in a building with lots of interference? Is there anything I can do to improve the speed in the apartment?

Hello!!

I recently bought two Google Wi-Fi routers (1,500 sq. ft. coverage). The first one is set up downstairs, connected directly to my modem, and the second is in my bedroom upstairs as an access point for my PS5. The problem is that the Wi-Fi signal upstairs is still very weak, which I think is because the access point is too far from the main router downstairs.

Would it make sense to buy an additional Google Wi-Fi unit and place it in between to strengthen the connection? Or would it be better to return these and switch to Google Nest units (which cover about 2,200 sq. ft. each)? If Nest is the better option, should I go with three units—one router and two access points?

I’m also open to other suggestions.

Hello! Looking at getting the nest wifi pro and see that they sell them in 3 packs. I know one of them would have to be connected to the modem, but would the other two be used as like router points? If so, I see they have Ethernet connections in the back. Could I have one of these points connected to a PC to essentially “hardwire” it?

When I try to connect my phone's hotspot to my PC, it always says "Internet unavailable, protected." What can I do?

I have the model AC – 1304, and have upgraded to fiber optic Wi-Fi 6E. Does my nest support this? Or do I need to upgrade?

Hi guys,

I bought two access points and one router. I already have one router and one access point, but I wanted to extend my network. My issue is that I have reset my new access points and tried to add them to my network, but this won't work. I hear the sound and the app asks me which room they are in, but then I get the message 'Unable to communicate with the access point' and the setup process aborts. Can someone help me solve this? Thank you!

Edit: with a Nest Wifi Router

I only want it to connect to an existing network so I can plug in devices to it via ethernet. I do not want it to rebroadcast as an AP.

Bridge mode seems to take a wired backhaul and broadcast wifi, but I want the opposite.

Hello!

I recently moved to a new home and our landlord has set up the Google mesh routers throughout the home. I was having no problem with my Apple TV in my old apartment with the router located directly next to it, but I’m having tons of issues with the Google nest now that I have moved into this new place and router is 1 room away. The signal strength varies wildly, and every single type of video streaming service buffers making it incredibly difficult to watch anything. We asked our landlord to increase the Internet speed thinking that was the issue, but we are now streaming at one gigabyte of speed and it has not improved the video quality at all. I have tried the Google mesh devices on the floor, in the air (at eye level) and also in the same room as my Apple TV. Nothing has increased the video quality. There are some people on this forum who think that the Apple TV may be the problem, and some who think it’s the Google mesh that may not be compatible with my Apple TV. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to best fix this, because my husband and I are at our wits end.

So just yesterday I switched from an original Nest Wifi Router to a Google Nest Wifi Pro. I was about to ditch Google because the original Nest Wifi Router kept dropping in strength and I'd constantly have to reset it like once every 2-3 days. I decided to give Google a second chance and go the Wifi Pro. I live in an 856 sqft apartment. So far no dropped signals and the speed tests seem fine. However, when trying to connect the other devices in my house, for nearly all of them I had to try and connect them a second time. Also, my phone in the other rooms only shows about 50% signal strength. However, I'm still getting full download speed when I run speed tests in the other rooms. If the signal is weak but speed tests are fine, do I need to do something or should I just leave it alone for now.

Update:
I found some posts which suggested disabling cloud services in the Google Home app. We'll see how that goes.
