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.

Yes, but it is called “Google wifi” It is more puck like in shape and less rounded. On amazon. It is the older version of what nest is today.

I'm not able to stream via ethernet cable, so have to use wifi.

Slightly different than you hardware though.

 

Have just bought a wifi extender, as it has ethernet out.

Planning to run a Meicord Opal ethernet cable from it to my streamer.

Currently researching how to clean up the noise from the extender to the streamer.

I must have the older one as it has and Ethernet out. I definitely get less dropouts connecting the Bluesound Node via Ethernet to the google. Sound quality I’m not sure.

@jerrybj Before I got the Nest, I used an

extender wired to the streamer. It work 

well.
