Nest Wifi Pro

[PaulN1980]

I have Sky Broadband Gigafast and am interested in getting the Nest WiFi Pro 3 pack.  I was just going to connect one of these via an ethernet port to the Sky Hub and disable the wireless networks on the Sky Hub.  Will this work OK?  I have read that double NAT may be an issue.  My children have PS5s so don't want to have them complaining that they can't play online.  Is there a way to avoid double NAT?

It may cause issues with your PS5s yes but you wont really know until you test it. What you may have to do is put the IP of the main Nest router into the DMZ of the Sky hub

I didn't want to buy the Nest setup until I know it will work.  I'm not sure if that allows the Nest router aiP address to be set.

It will do, you can put any device in the Sky hubs DMZ doesnt matter what it is

I was meaning that I wasn't sure if the Google Nest WiFi Pro allowed the setting of a static IP so that it can be set in the DMZ section of the Sky Hub.  I hadn't found instructions for that online.

Thanks,

My current setup actually has some powerline adaptors conneceted to the Sky hub.  The PS5's are connected via Powerline as are my Tado and Hue bridges.  If I left them as they are and then connected the Google Nest Wifi Pro to th Sky hub then there would be no double NAT on the PS5 traffic.  Are there any other issues that would catch me out?

You don't need the sky hub, you can just use the nest as the modem/router
