Using Google Nest Router as access point in my room

[JacobBrown1337]

How do I connect my Google Nest Router as an access point in my room. I have 1 router connected downstairs and I bought 2 more from Amazon because I saw you can use them as an access point, but when I try setting it up it forces me to type in a wifi name to set up wifi instead of connecting to my network as an access point.

Hey @JacobBrown1337 .

Can you advise how your network is connected and the steps you are doing to try to add the extra points?

[JacobBrown1337]

My network has a google nest router plugged into it and several access points, some of them being google wifi routers (because they are compatible. They are the old trash routers though. I use an ethernet cable to plug into one of the crappy ones because the newer access points don't have ethernet ports, but the old routers are bad, so I bought 2 of the nest routers.

I try adding it in Google Home by adding a new device and then entering in the set up code.

Hey @JacobBrown1337 .

By "old trash" and "crappy ones", are you referring to the original Google Wifi or the OnHub?

Also, what type of mobile device are you using with Google Home and are you getting any errors messages?
