To provide Wi-Fi coverage to every corner of your home, the connection between each Wifi point needs to be strong. Make sure the Nest Wifi router and points are evenly spread out, but not too far from each other.
Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) can't be combined with Nest Wifi routers or points or Google Wifi points (Wi-Fi 5) in a mesh network. However, you can follow the same instructions for adding additional Nest Wifi Pro routers to your Nest Wifi Pro network.
- Start with your router.
- Think about where else you want a strong Wi-Fi signal in your home. Place your point about halfway in that direction, but no more than 2 rooms away from your router or another point.
- If you’re setting up a Nest Wifi point, this location will also be where you'll interact with the Google Assistant. Note: Nest Wifi Pro routers don't include Google Assistant.
- Place your point in an open area. Avoid placing it near other objects that could physically block the signal, for example, large appliances or fish tanks.
- Find a nearby wall outlet. Make sure the power adapter is connected to your point, then plug the other end into the outlet.
- If you’re setting up a Nest Wifi point, the point’s light will pulse to indicate that it’s powering on.
- If you're setting up a Nest Wifi Pro router, the light on your router will pulse white, then blue to indicate it's ready for setup.
