Connect google mesh to nighthawk 5G
I have my Nighthawk C7800 in bridge mode and I need to connect my Google nest mesh pods to the 5G. How do I connect to the 5G
- Jan 02, 2023I have it in bridge mode and it's working because I have it plugged directly into the router. I got rid of the Google mesh and I have replaced it with the Orbi and the Orbi passes by the 2.4 and connects to the 5G.

1. The C7800 (if thats what you have) doesn't have a bridge mode. It has a modem only mode and a modem/router mode.
Yet another example of how "bridge mode" is confusing and best avoided.
