Google Nest Wifi is super easy to set up! Choose the type of broadband you have below and follow the setup of your primary point (this can be any one of the Nest units you have).

Important The instructions inside your Google Nest Wifi box are a bit different to ours – please follow this guide to get up and running.

Set up

• Naked Fibre (broadband only)

  Once your connection is live, connect your Google Nest Wifi to Fibre Broadband by following these simple steps.

  1. Plug in the power.

  2. Connect the Google Nest Wifi to the port labelled LAN1 or GE1 on your Optical Network Terminal (that’s the fibre box usually found on your wall) with the Ethernet cable.

      

  3. Download the Google Home app on a compatible phone or tablet.

     
     
     

  4. Open the App and follow the on-screen steps to finish the setup. If you already have The Google Home App set up on your device, tap + to add your Google Nest Wifi.

     

  All done! You should now be able to connect your devices Wirelessly!

  
   
• ADSL, VDSL or Fibre (with homeline)

  Once your connection is live, connecting your Google Nest Wifi to an ADSL, VDSL or Fibre with homeline connection is easy.

  Important You will need to continue to use your Orcon modem (or own compatible modem) so that your internet and home phone can connect to our network.

  1. Plugin the power.

  2. Connect the Google Nest Wifi to one of the Ethernet Ports on your Orcon modem (or own router) with the Ethernet cable.
     

     Note: Do not connect your Google Nest Wifi directly to your fibre box or wall jack.

      

  3. Download the Google Home app on a compatible phone or tablet.

      

  4. Open the App and follow the on-screen steps to finish the setup. If you already have The Google Home App set up on your device, tap + to add your Google Nest Wifi.
     

      

  5. Once you have set up Google Wifi, we highly recommend turning off your modem’s Wi-Fi so that it doesn’t interfere with Google Wifi’s mesh network.

     In the My Orcon App or through My Orcon on the website, select My WiFi from the menu and turn your modem Wi-Fi off.
     

  All done! You should now be able to connect your devices Wirelessly!
