Pretty sure you can not have two routers on the same wifi network. The older google wifi devices can do this however. Maybe check if you can add one of those, which will be used as a switch, to a Nest wifi network. With that said I have run wirelessly using nest (just upgraded) and google wifi (just removed) and never have any dropouts or other issues.
Google Nest WiFi
Based on recommendations here, I installed the Google Nest WiFi system. I have the router and two points and it works great. My router is located too far away from my stereo system to allow a wired connection to my streamer. The points do not have an ethernet connection, the router does.
My question: If I buy another nest router can I connect it wirelessly to my network
and use that to make a wired connection to my streamer. Has anyone done this?
I have not had much luck researching this online.
