How To Set Up Google Wifi

First of all, you need to make sure that you’ve got everything prepared already.
The main things you’ll need to set up your Google Wifi are:

• Your Google Wifi point(s) – You’ll either have one or three depending on your package
• A Google account
• The latest version of the Google Home app
• Internet service and an internet modem
• An ethernet cable and power adaptors (these are provided with the wifi points)

You should also disable the VPN on your phone if you have one. If you haven’t used the Google Home app before, sign in and create a new Home for your devices.

Now you can start setting up your main Google Wifi point. First, put the point near to your modem. An elevated space free from any obstructions (such as a clear shelf) will work best for this.

Next, it’s time to wire up the wifi point. Connect the power cable into the circular hole on the bottom of the wifi point, and the ethernet cable into one of the ethernet ports.

Then connect the other end of the ethernet cable to your modem, and the power cable into one of the power adaptors and plug it in. After around a minute the wifi point will pulse blue, meaning it’s ready to set up.

Once the light is blue, open up the Google Home app and select ‘Set up new devices in your home’. This will search for the wifi point; after around a minute, it will have found it and ask for confirmation.

You’ll then be prompted to scan the QR code on your wifi point. Do this, and the app will check your internet connection to finish set-up.

Finally, you’ll need to create a name and password for your wifi network. Choose something secure; you can share the name and password with friends and family through the Google Home app.

Once this is done, the light will turn white – this means that your wifi is ready to use!

Now you can start adding your other Google Wifi points. Plug the power cable into each additional point and plug them in with the adaptor, like the main wifi point.

When you plug a new wifi point in, the Google Home app will scan it to start set-up. Follow the same steps as before to connect your new wifi point.

Now you can repeat this process with the other wifi point to create a mesh-like signal that provides coverage throughout your entire home!
