Google Wifi Setup
Welcome to Google Wifi
Wi-Fi is used in every part of the home: in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the garage, everywhere. Google Wifi keeps up with the way you enjoy Wi-Fi by providing fast, reliable coverage throughout your entire home. Let’s plug it in and get started.
What’s in the Box
● 1 or 3 Wifi points
● 1 Ethernet cable
● 1 Power adapter
● Quick start guide
What you need
The Google Wifi app on an Android or iOS mobile device:
● Android 4.0 and up
● iOS 7 and up
A broadband internet connection via Ethernet — typically through a DSL or cable modem . Contact your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) for details.
Step 1: Find a spot for your Wifi point
Your primary Wifi point needs to be connected to a modem. So this may limit where you place it, depending on the length of the ethernet and power cables. If possible, place your Wifi point in plain view like on a shelf or TV stand. It also helps to choose a central location at eye level.
Step 2: Plug in your Wifi point
1. Connect the first Wifi point to your modem with the provided ethernet cable. Make sure to plug it into the Wifi point’s WAN port (the one next to the icon).
2. Then connect the power adapter to the Wifi point and a power outlet.
The status light will pulse blue when the Wifi point is ready for setup.
What does the light mean?
Step 3: Get the App
Download the Google Wifi app for Android 4.0 and up or iOS iOS 7 and up. For the Android app, search the Google Play store. For iOS, visit the Apple App Store.
Step 4: Set up Wi-Fi
To get started, open the Google Wifi app. On Android , your Wifi point will automatically be associated with the Google Account used with your phone.
On iOS , the app will ask you to sign in with your Google Account or create a new one.
What’s a Google Account?
A Google Account gives you access to Google products like Gmail, Google+, YouTube, and more with a single username and password. To create a new account, visit https://accounts.google.com
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Wifi point and Wi-Fi network.
1. Find and connect to Wifi point
○ The app will automatically detect your Wifi point .
○ Point your mobile device’s camera at the QR code on the base of your Wifi point . The code will be used to set up your Wifi point.
○ Pick a label for your Wifi point. This describes where your Wifi point is and will help you identify it later.
2. Set up your Wi-Fi network
○ Create a Wi-Fi network name and password.
3. Connect additional Wifi points
○ Select how many more Wifi points you need to set up and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Review your network
○ After your Wifi points are setup, you’ll see an overview of your Wi-Fi network and all the Wifi points you’ve set up.
5. Install software update
○ After your Wifi points are setup, the app will download and install a software update, which includes the latest features and security measures. This can take up to 3 minutes. Your Wifi points will restart and your Wi-Fi network will be down until the Wifi points fully turn on.
