Google Nest WiFi Point Extender
Being part of your home means respecting your privacy.
Here’s how to control your privacy on your Google Nest Wifi point.
Microphones are built into the Nest Wifi point so you can use your voice to ask the Google Assistant for help, make calls, and more. Audio is only sent to Google when your point detects you’re interacting with the Assistant, such as when you say “Hey Google,” or if you’re using a feature that relies on audio (for example, audio calling). After setup, a blue or white light underneath the device indicates that your point is sending audio to Google. You can review and delete your query data at any time at myactivity.google.com.
How to turn off the microphones
To physically turn off the microphones, slide the mic switch on the back of your Nest Wifi point. This switch, which can’t be accessed remotely, makes the microphones completely inoperable. When the mics are turned off, you’ll see an orange light underneath the point. To turn the microphones back on, you’ll need to slide the switch back.

How to set up your Google Nest Wifi
Get ready to welcome Google Nest Wifi to your home.
You have made a great choice! Google Nest Wifi will:
- Blanket your home with a strong and reliable Wifi connection.
- Update automatically, which means your network stays safe and secure.
- Effortlessly look at home thanks to its chic design.
When setting up the Google Nest Wifi, there are a few items you will need:
- A Google Nest Wifi router. This will broadcast your Wifi.
- A Google account.
- An up-to-date smartphone or tablet, such as an Android phone running Android 5.0 and higher,
- An Android tablet running Android 6.0 and higher, or an iPhone or iPad with iOS 11.0 and higher.
- The latest version of the Google Home app (available to download via Android or iOS app stores).
- An internet service (you have come to the right place for that! Check out Tangerine’s NBN plans here).
What’s in the box?
The router is smooth and does not have speakers.
FTTP, FTTC, HFC, and Fixed Wireless customers:
To connect, you will need your nbn™ device and the Google router. PLEASE NOTE: Google Nest Wifi routers are not compatible with FTTN. A VDSL modem will be required.
How to set up your Google Nest Wifi router
As the Google Nest Wifi is not pre-configured, you will need to do a few setup procedures, which we have outlined below. You can also view Google’s “How to set up your Nest Wifi” setup video.
- Download the Google Home app on Android or iOS.
- Set up a home if this is your first time using the Google Home app.
- Position your Google router in a location that is not obscured by objects, for example, on a shelf or beside your entertainment unit. For optimum Wifi performance, place your Google Nest Wifi router at eye level or higher.
- Connect the Ethernet cable to the Nest router’s WAN port. For FTTP/FTTC/HFC/Fixed Wireless, the Ethernet cable will run from the nbn™ connection device. For FTTN/B, the Ethernet cable will run from the modem.
- Plug the power adapter into the Google Nest router. Wait a minute for the light to pulse white; this indicates that the router is powered on and ready for setup.
- Download and then open the Google Home app on your phone or tablet (please note that mobile data and Bluetooth should be turned on first), and then log in using your existing Google account or create a new Google account.
- Tap Add + > Set up device.
- Under “New devices,” tap “Set up new devices in your home.”
- Choose a home.
- Take a photo of the QR code or manually input the setup key on the bottom of the Google Nest Router. Once the code is properly applied, you should be connected to the router’s Wifi.
- When prompted to configure the connection type, select “WAN” and then “PPPoE,” and enter the username into Account Name and the password provided in your email from Tangerine.
- You’ll return to the Home page. Click Next; you’ll be asked to create a Wifi name.
- Give your Wifi network a secure name and password. The password you create will be needed later when connecting your devices to the Wifi.
- The router will create the Wifi network. This should only take a few minutes.
- If you’d like to add another Wifi device, tap “Yes” in the app to continue now, or you can add extra devices later through the Add + > Set up device menu in Google Home. You are now Google Nest Wifi connected!
