Overview of the Network Tab in the GFiber App

Identify and manage the devices connected to your Google Fiber network within your app.
We regularly update the GFiber App with new features to help make it even easier for you to manage your home or business network. We’ll be making improvements throughout 2025 and beyond, so your GFiber App might look different from the examples below.

You can manage and monitor your Wi-Fi network and devices through the GFiber App or the Google Home app (for Google Wifi and Nest Wifi Pro users). You’ll find the answers to your technical questions there — from running a speed test, to restarting your router, to connecting devices to your network — and so much more.
 
Most Network Box customers are eligible to upgrade to a Nest Wifi Pro Router. To learn more, please visit the Router upgrade for Network Box customers article.

You can manage your network settings from the Network tab in the GFiber App.

  1. Open the GFiber App.
  2. Tap Network.
