I bridged port 1
Port 1 > Wan connection of the Google device
Lan connection on the google device > Switch for all wired devices in the house

Port 2 of the T3200M > PVR Optix Box
Other TV's successfully connecting wirelessly to system

6 years agoJust set up the Google Mesh without bridging Port 1. You should have a network that works as you want with access to your printer, etc., from both wired and wireless devices.
Many have experienced the lack of transfer between the T3200M Wifi-connected devices and the rest of the network. Either Google Mash, or Telus' Boost Wi-Fi address this issue.

You can't get managed updates that way from the Google... it has to be a passthru to work afaik.

Will try Nest >T3200M
Nest > house switch
