EE Smart Hub - Google Nest compatibility?

Hostillius — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 08:29:21 GMT

Hi, I have recently got a new smart hub with EE. The coverage in the house is pretty poor in some of the further away rooms. I would like to try a mesh network solution, specifically the Google Nest WiFi.

Is the EE smart hub compatible with the Google Nest WiFi? I have read conflicting forums posts. The main issue seems to be that the smart hub cannot be put into modem or bridge mode.

Hi @Hostillius.

Welcome to the community.

I'm not sure myself, but hopefully either one f our broadband experts or someone who's tried this before will be along soon to offer up advice and experience.

I don't know much about the Google Nest, but you cannot put an EE router into bridge or modem mode.
