Google Wifi
Product rating for Google Wifi
Replaced a Swisscom internet box 2, with multiple google wifis and now have spotless coverage.
Great for creating a seamless mesh network in larger houses. Not much benefit over regular wifi if you use a single unit.
Pro
- Simple setup
- Good basic set of features and settings
Contra
- Not much customisation
I would like to do the same, but how did you replace the internet box2 as it is needed for the MODEM part of it. Did you mean you switched off the WLAN from the Swisscom internet box 2? I would appreciate it if you can post the details of your setup.
Hello Biswasg, that’s correct - I turned off the WLAN section of the Swisscom internet box 2.
Here is my setup:
ADSL 100Mbps -> Swisscom Internet Box 2 -> Swisscom TV AND to Google Wifi
Two wired connections come out of it - one connects to the Swisscom TV box (it does not work through a sub net), Second wired connection is to google wifi.
I have three google wifis connected in series by ethernet.
The network:
Swisscom 192.168.0.0/24
Google 192.168.86.0/24
These are the default values.
Then if you want to expose a port of a device to the internet you need to do port forwarding in Swisscom box to the google wifi primary IP address, and then configure port forwarding in google wifi to your device.
