Nest Wifi Router

100% I never had an issue with my original Google Wi-Fi or Nest Pro when using a wired backhaul.

That thing you're calling a "splitter" is a TP-Link brand 8 port switch. It looks to be a model TL-SG108 which is an unmanaged gigabit switch, which does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet). Assuming Port #1 is connected to your Router, then other devices (not requiring PoE) could be connected to

For an opposing POV, I have 2 of the older Google Wi-Fi (GJ2CQ) and 2 of the slightly newer Nest Wi-Fi (H2D) and they've been working nearly flawlessly for years. The only times I've had issues with them is when the ISP goes out. In which case I simply need to wait for the ISP to come back up and th

I use Switchbot roller shades, Switchbot sensors (for temp and humidity), as well as their blind tilts and button pushers. Kasa smart switches, Hue lights, and a Nest Learning Thermostat with an Aprilaire whole house humidifier slaved to it for wintertime. Love them all. I automate each brand via it

That might explain my Nest Wifi router and AP doing better about staying in Wired mode. I have them connected via a MOCA backhaul, but they would constantly change from Wired to Wireless with no obvious reason. Possibly a temporary interruption in my service from my ISP or a temporary blip in the po

there are many. i have a 2br apt in noisy dense urban environment, have had success with nest wifi router 2nd gen (AC2200) with a small unmanaged netgear switch like gs305 or gs308 to add more ethernet cable ports. all set up next to tv so tv, media server, hue hub etc all hard wired via switch and

I bought a Google Nest WiFi pair in 2018. The second unit kept going offline. Took it all out and got a better single router. Then last year discovered coverage issues and thought Google might have better firmware by now. This time, I consulted Gemini on how to factory reset and start over. Turns ou

The three options you describe will work but personally I would upgrade from the original Google WiFi mesh since this is quite old tech with WiFi 5 instead of 6. There's quite a jump there so the Nest Pro or Hyperoptic's mini hub should offer an improvement in speed and network stability. I use Eero

Also made switch from Google WiFi Mesh (pre-Nest branding) to Deco and have had no issues.

Maybe a hot take, but why not just buy another Google Nest WiFi system? Since you know it works, but your existing set just started to fail. If you buy the same system (new or like new condition) then it should work well for you.
