GS724tpv2 and Google wifi

I have the following setup : ISP modem -> Google wifi WAN -> switch netgear gs724tpv2 (port 1)
I have several devices (computers / tvs / nas ) plugged on the switch from different rooms. LAN is ok, all have internet access. So far so good.
The issue starts when i wire a secondary google wifi (port 9 in my case).
The switch seems to detect a loop. Port 9 gets blocked and if deactivate STP then port 1 is in error and port 9 becomes uplink.
NB: the 2 google wifi boxes communicate well (over the air...) but slowly (that’s why i wanted to wire them in the first place).
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
Take care
Cheers
Philippe

Diging a little bit more, you can try to
- Disable STP, and keep enable Forward BPDU while STP Disabled (don't know of your switch model allows),
- Disable RSTP, just keep STP enabled, and set STP to an average of e.g. 28672

Re: GS724tpv2 and Google wifi
This is a not supported set-up in my understanding: Hardwire Google Nest Wifi routers, Google Wifi points and other devices -> What NOT to do -> Wire a Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point to other points in the same switch

Re: GS724tpv2 and Google wifi

Modem → Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point→ Switch → Google Wifi point(s)
- Modem’s LAN port connects to Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point’s WAN port
via wired Ethernet - Primary Wifi point’s LAN port connects to switch’s WAN or uplink port via wired Ethernet
- Switch’s LAN port(s) connects to any Google Wifi point's WAN port via wired Ethernet
Switches and Google Wifi points may be connected in any order (as long as they're downstream of the Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point) and you may connect several of these devices via wired Ethernet. Connecting downstream is important as it allows the Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point to manage the downstream Wifi points over the wired Ethernet.
(✓) Modem → Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point → Switch → Google Nest Wifi router or Google Wifi point
→ Google Nest Wifi router or Google Wifi point

Assuming the underlined set-up is yours, Challenge Google WiFi support.
If the Google WiFi see each other, a loop is predictable - unless they do the right thing on the Google WiFi devices. Nothing wrong woth the switch in my opinion. Some vendors claim there must be non-managed switches without any STP (and higher) and without proprietary loop prevention. To add more confusion - because STP is switch-wide - one can't use a dedicated VLAN for the wired backhaul of such Mesh systems.

Thanks a lot!!!
- "Disable STP, and keep enable Forward BPDU while STP Disabled (don't know of your switch model allows)," did the trick apparently.
- Gonna test the third google wifi on 3rd floor now.
- You made my daughters very happy 🙂
