What I need help and advice with is how to get this to work with the Verizon WiFi router has the primary and the Google Nest WiFI as the secondary. Verizon Wireless is a wholly owned subsidiary of. However, this is not my preferred setup based on the wired devices I need to connect to these devices. Verizon offers mobile and landline communications services, including broadband internet and phone service. Google Nest WiFi Router is connected to the ONT and the Verizon Router is connected to the Nest WiFi Router. I was able to successfully set this up in reverse. The Google Nest Pro did nothing with the signal. I then used an ethernet cable to connect the Google Nest Pro (router 2) to the Verizon Router. Router 1 is directly connected to the Verizon ONT (the connection to the internet). I initially tried to set this up with the Verizon router as router 1. The Verizon router provides 3 segments, main, guest, and IOT. Google Nest prices two segments, main and guest. Why? I will have access to 5 separate network segments. I want to use both of these routers with their separate SSIDs. As a subscriber of their 1 GB speed tier, I get a free Verizon WiFi router. I am a new subscriber to Verizon's Fios internet service. Wasn't sure if that was necessarily and that would have made it a lot hard to go back to the router when things didn't work The only other piece of information is that I did *not* follow the instructions at to release the DHCP Lease. I assume it's the oval button on the back I tried doing the factor reset, but couldn't get it to flash orange as the instructions say. But mine is round like all the Google Wifi pictures show Not sure what the difference is between Google WiFi and Nest WiFi Router. It asks me what device I'm connecting and I assume that's Google Wifi. It tired to look for devices but couldn't find anything. But it said it should start pulsing white, but I was never able to get that to happen. It said to connect the Ethernet cable, which I already had. So all I care about is the Ethernet cable, which is definitely activated.Īs an aside, one thing that's a bit confusing is almost all the instructions out there say that the Google Wifi *must* be connected to an already existing routerįollowing the instructions here,, I connected the Ethernet directly to the Google Mesh device. So the coax from the ONT is already being split and going directly to the TV's. Since my house long pre-dates the internet, it is already wired with coax through the house. I was finally brave enough to follow the instructions, but I've run into some problems.įirst, I discovered that the coax cable that was connected to the router was doing absolutely nothing for me. about switching my setup so that instead of piggy-backing off the Verizon Router, I want to connect the Ehternet directly from the ONT into Google Wi-fi
