How to Set Up a Nest Wi-Fi
You should have a Nest Wi-Fi router, all access points (along with their power adapters), and the bundled Ethernet cable. You also need an Android or iOS device with a camera (you can’t set up Nest Wi-Fi without one).
How to Set Up a Nest Wi-Fi Hub
There’s a good chance you’ll want to set up one or more Nest Wi-Fi points alongside the router. The app will ask you to do this at the end of the router setup. The router will ask you to check if a WAN Ethernet cable is plugged in if it isn’t found. Plug it in and then hit Next. Otherwise, skip to the next step. Setting up a point is essentially the same as the router but ends after scanning the QR code and choosing a location. Your Wi-Fi network is already active, so there’s no need to select a network name or password.
Can Google Nest Wi-Fi Connect to an Existing Router?
Yes, though likely not in the manner you hope. The Google Nest Wi-Fi router can connect to another router over an Ethernet cable. This setup will let you use the Nest Wi-Fi with a wired or wireless router from your Internet Service Provider. However, Nest Wi-Fi does not support wireless or mesh connections with routers not part of the Google Nest Wi-Fi system. The Nest Wi-Fi router will always create its own new Wi-Fi network, and that network will always be separate from other Wi-Fi networks in your home.
