Hardwiring Google Wi-Fi

[VictorVitao666]

Hello friends,

 

My parents are moving and will basically build the house from scratch, so i've persuaded them into wiring up the house for ethernet. They already have a Google Wi-Fi system at their current place and (as much as i wanted to) i can't install a Ubiquiti setup because they are very tech illiterate and i want to keep the support calls to a minimum. So I was wondering if i can hardwire the existing pucks for better speeds.

The setup would be like this:

Modem ----- Main Puck ----- Unmanaged Switch ----- Puck 2

                                                                             ----- Puck 3

Would that work? and if anyone knows how i cloud set this up it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Speed improvements could be negligible, depends on connection strength between the nodes when configured for wireless operation. Latency would definitely improve.

Yes, that configuration will work.

 

As long as a child nodes share the same subnet as the parent, Google WiFi will automatically reconfigure the nodes once connected via Ethernet.
