Network modem connects to Google Nest and then to Nas?
Hi there! Let me try to explain this in a simpler way.
For your first question: You’re thinking about linking a SIM modem to your existing Wi-Fi setup. Since you have copper cables that are slow and fiber isn’t an option, you’d want to connect the SIM modem directly to the wall via Ethernet. Then, plug that Ethernet connection into the GN router so it can route the signal to your Wi-Fi points. This way, you avoid using the slower copper lines outside the building.
For your second question: Connecting a NAS like Synology to either the SIM modem or the GN router is possible, but you’d need to set up automatic backups. You’d likely want to schedule weekly backups when connected to Wi-Fi, though the exact setup depends on your router’s capabilities and NAS software. Let me know if you need more details!
Best regards,
Sebastian
With a cell modem installed, you can skip the traditional modem entirely. Whether you rely on landline or mobile internet, the process remains: ISP signal (via wired connection or wireless transmission) → modem → router (search for Wifi) → connected devices. You can also connect a NAS to the LAN side of your Google Wi-Fi just like any other PC or wired device. Because Google Wi-Fi uses only one LAN port, you’ll likely need a switch if you plan to link more than one device via Ethernet. If everything is wireless, you probably won’t require a switch and can simply plug the NAS directly into the Google Wi-Fi LAN port. Any NAS or network standard can handle these tasks.
