( ✓) Modem → Switch → Router or primary Wifi point → Google Wifi point ( ✓) Modem → Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point→ Switch → Google Wifi point Rather, both the primary router and the Wifi point get IP addresses from the upstream modem and so the Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point isn’t able to form the mesh with the Wifi point.įor correct operation, the router or primary Wifi point should either be plugged in between the modem and the switch, or the point should be plugged in downstream of the router or primary Wifi point. This means the Wifi point should always be wired downstream from the primary. In the diagrams above, the reason the mesh won’t work is because the Google Wifi point is unable to get an IP address from the primary router.
Switch’s LAN ports connect to both a primary Wifi point and another Google Wifi point’s WAN ports point via wired Ethernet.įor correct operation as a mesh point, a Google Nest or Google Wifi point should be on the network address subnet that is created by the primary router. Modem’s LAN port connects to Switch’s WAN or uplink port via wired Ethernet.

It is important to connect downstream as it allows the Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point to manage the downstream Wifi points over the wired Ethernet. Switch’s LAN port(s) connects to any Google Wifi point's WAN port via wired Ethernet. Primary Wifi point’s LAN port connects to switch’s WAN or uplink port via wired Ethernet. Modem’s LAN port connects to Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point’s WAN port via wired Ethernet. ( ✓) Modem → Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point→ Switch → Google Wifi point(s) 
Note: In the following diagrams, " →" means to connect via wired Ethernet.
