GOOGLE WIFI ROUTER SETUP SERIES

Set up Google Wifi Mesh network by adding additional Google Wifi points one by one, and verify that they get IP addresses with in the range of what's reserved in step 2.

Configure DHCP address range in Google Wifi primary unit so that the number of available IP addresses is N (N=number of additional Wifi points)įor example, to allow two Wifi Points in the Google Wifi mesh network, you can set the DHCP address range as 192.168.86.2- 192.168.86.3 for three Wifi Points use 192.168.86.2-192.168.86.4.

Connect the WAN port of the Google Wifi primary unit to Port 3, then follow the official guide to set up the Google Wifi primary device.

Step 2: Set up Google Wifi Mesh network with a limited DHCP address range We'll use the subnets above as an example in this guide.

Here is the tutorial on how to manage networks on Gold.Ģ. The basic requirement is Port 2 and Port 3 must be used for different local networks.ġ. It can either be shared with Port 1 or dedicated. Create another local network on Port 2.Create a dedicated local network on Port 3.Make sure Firewalla Gold is running in Router Mode.Wi-Fi Clients that need an IP will ask Google Wifi for one, but there will be none for it to give and the request will go upstream to Firewalla.Ĭonfiguration: Step 1: Set up Local Networks in Gold Both subnets are using the same physical ethernet network. The main idea is the LAN port of the Primary Unit and WAN port of the Point (satellite are in one ethernet network (for subnet 192.168.86.1/24), and other devices and Gold port 2 are also in another ethernet network (for subnet 192.168.210.1/24). Gold Port 2 -> Your Switch -> LAN port of the Primary Unit Gold Port 3 -> WAN port of the Primary Unit Network configuration steps remain the same. Use this configuration when you can connect the Points to the Google Wifi Router with Ethernet. This subnet is used for the remaining Wifi devices (e.g. This subnet is only used for Google Wifi's WAN IP (e.g. This subnet is only used for Google points (satellites) (e.g. Google Wifi LAN, managed by Google Wifi.There will be three network subnets created: Use this configuration when you cannot connect the Points to the Google Wifi Router with Ethernet. There are two recommended solutions for using Google Wifi with Firewalla: If you don't want to use up all your ports on Firewalla Gold you can also set up the Google Wifi mesh network with VLANs as shown here for Firewalla Purple. You can also help convince Google/Nest to support "AP mode". This workaround is NOT perfect, if you have any issue, please let us know. However, the Google Wifi mesh network doesn't support AP Mode or Bridge mode (when the mesh is enabled). If you just have one Google Wifi unit, you can turn on bridging mode and attach it to the Firewalla Gold LAN port.

The best way to set up a mesh network with Firewalla Gold series boxes in router mode is to configure the mesh network in AP Mode/Bridge Mode. To configure Google or nest Wifi with Purple series boxes, see Google Wifi or Nest Wifi Mesh network with Purple (Beta).To configure Google or nest Wifi with Blue series boxes, see Setup Guide: Mesh Routers Simple and DHCP modes.This article also applies to the Nest Wifi.
