How to Set Up Your Google Wifi Network
If you’re reading this, chances are you just purchased a shiny new Google WiFi system (or are considering purchasing one). So let’s get started setting it up!
The first thing you need to do is unpack everything. You should have received two or three nodes (small discs) and a power adapter for each. If you purchased a single Google WiFi system, you will only have one node.
Once you have everything unpacked, find a good location for your primary node. This is the node that will be connected to your modem (or router, if you’re using a mesh system). It’s important to place this node in a central location, and to avoid putting it near objects that might block the signal.
After you’ve found a good location for your primary node, connect it to your modem (or router) using an Ethernet cable. If you’re using a mesh system, connect the primary node to your modem and the secondary node to the primary node using Ethernet cables.
Once your primary node is connected to your modem (or router), plug it in and wait a minute or two for it to power on.
Now it’s time to download the Google WiFi app and set up your network!
Open the Google WiFi app and tap “Get Started”.
Select “Create a new network” and give your network a name.
Tap “Continue” and then select your modem (or router) from the list of devices.
Enter your modem’s (or router’s) password and tap “Connect”.
Now you’ll be asked to place your nodes. If you have more than one node, place them in different rooms for optimal coverage.
Once you’ve placed your nodes, tap “Continue” and the app will guide you through the rest of the setup process.
Now you’re ready to start enjoying your new Google WiFi network!
