I did try again with the extender, but it is clear now that the new TP Link router is not supported by Netgear extender. I am rethinking whether I need a full router and nest set, and might think about another mesh option that works with the existing TP Link, router supplied by TPG. of course, I would appreciate any advice on a good mesh solution rather than an extender. Perhaps I can return the router and two nests and find an alternative. I do want just one wifi band to be available throughout the house. So any suggestions that will work with the existing TP Link router supplied by TGP would be appreciated.

David, thanks so much for helping me out. So affectively I replace the TPG supplied router with the new Google one and then place the nests where needed. I still have not unpacked the Google nest set, so, do you have any last-minute advice on performance vis-a-vis Google router to the TP Link router supplied by TPG? I have checked Choice advice. I think I am okay with Google but appreciate your own perspective. At this stage I could still return the pack unopened. .

Just some additional information about the NBN box, I have attached two pictures to show you how it’s set up. How do you say broadband cable plug it into the back of it. Check out the pictures please.

Hi David Thanks so much for reaching out. In terms of the plan, the details about my account are: "NBN Cable Broadband Unlimited Superfast" In terms of the extender, it is Netgear EX3110. The setup fails because it tells me the extender Wi-Fi is not connected to the Internet. I tried several times to set it up using the Netgear app, but it just kept saying no Wi-Fi connection. On one attempt, it said the extender was no longer supported by Netgear but I don’t think that can be right. So now I am trying to be clear if I have to replace the TPG supplied router with the Google router, or somehow connect the Google router to the TPG supplied router in my case. We do not use the VoIP phone. Any advice appreciated Do you need any more information to suggest what you would do in my case? Thanks again, David!

I've just had an updated modem from TPG installed. My old Wi-Fi extender no longer works with it. So I thought I would invest in a mesh system and got Google nest which includes the router and two nests. I originally thought that I would have to connect the Google router somehow to the TP Link router, and then place the nests where needed. however I am thinking now that I should be replacing the TP Link router completely with the new Google nest router, and plug it into the NBN box. dumb question I know, but do I have to replace the TP Link router with the Google router or do they work in tandem? OR can l use the two nests somehow with the TP-LINK router? I am now nervous about installing the Google router in case it affects the great support from TPG and that I won't be able to sort out any difficulties. Any advice from others that have Google nest connected to the TPG broadband service? I am pretty sure our NBN is to the node.
