Google Nest Wifi Pro & Telus PureFibre

Just had service installed. I want to use my Google Nest Wifi Pro with it. How do I set this up? With my previous provider it was just a matter of putting their router into "bridge mode". Is there a similar process with this setup?

All the Boost is is a Wifi Access Point. That's it. If you wanted to swap it out for a Nest Wifi Pro, it should work. If you put one port on the Telus gateway/router into bridge mode, be sure you know how to properly secure any device / router connected to the bridged port. If you bridge a port, it may be an idea to have the ability to hardwire a computer to another non-bridged port on the Telus router for troubleshooting purposes. If you can't, keep the Boost around just in case. Telus won't troubleshoot connection issues with third party hardware, including Google's.
