How to connect Eero to Google Nest Wifi?

Connecting Eero to Google Nest Wifi simultaneously as two primary routers is not recommended due to double NAT issues. The optimal approach is to configure one as your main router and the other in bridge mode. For the most stable setup, designate Google Nest Wifi as your primary router. Connect its main puck directly to your modem, then connect an Ethernet cable from a Google Nest Wifi LAN port to the Eero gateway's WAN port. Crucially, access your Eero app settings and enable "Bridge Mode" (under Network Settings -- Advanced). This allows Google Nest Wifi to manage all routing, DHCP, and firewall functions, with Eero units acting solely as Wi-Fi access points, extending coverage. While using Eero as primary and Google Nest as secondary is possible, Google Nest Wifi doesn't easily operate in true bridge mode without losing mesh capabilities, making the Google Nest primary setup generally more functional.
