![]() ![]() The final step is to save the change by clicking on Save Settings. Note: If you have a paid plan use the DNS IPs provided in your account. The image below shows you an example IP, please use the IP pair (paid customers) found in your dashboard. Click on the third tab.Ĭlick on Custom and type in the CleanBrowsing IPs. If you have it, it will open you to the main page. This will prompt you to install the Google Wifi app. Scroll to the Advanced networking section, and click. Step 2: Navigate to DNS Section in the Router Dashboard From the home page, you will click the gear icon. You access the router via the Google Home app. Be prepared to have the Google Home and Google Wifi apps installed. Google mesh devices are fully managed via the Google apps, the instructions below will walk you through the different apps you’ll need. But if it is causing problems, it's recommended to put your third-party router in bridge mode and turn off Wi-Fi on your third-party router to avoid interference.These instructions will provide guidance on how to configure CleanBrowsing on a Google Wifi mesh device. With this configuration, you may run into Double NAT, which isn't necessarily a problem. When finished, set up your Nest Wifi or Google Wifi devices in the Google Home app.Connect the third-party router to the Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi point's WAN port with an Ethernet cable.Connect your modem’s LAN port to the third-party router’s WAN port with an Ethernet cable.If you have a router already connected that supports VLAN tagging, you can add your Google Nest Wifi router or Google Wifi primary point to it. When finished, set up your Google Nest Wifi or Google Wifi in the Google Home app. ![]() Connect the switch’s LAN port to your Google Nest Wifi router’s or Google Wifi primary point’s WAN port with an Ethernet cable.Connect your modem’s LAN port to the switch’s WAN port with an Ethernet cable.Use a managed network switchĪdd a separate managed network switch (sometimes called a "smart network switch") with VLAN features. This will allow you to set up your Nest Wifi router or Google Wifi primary point again in the future without additional equipment. Note: If your ISP uses a Google supported tag, and you temporarily use a VLAN-supported router, then once your network is set up and online, Nest Wifi and Google Wifi devices will be able to download an update that allows it to support VLAN tagging. When VLAN tagging is required by your ISP, for some Nest Wifi and Google Wifi devices to work, you'll need to add a switch to your network or use an additional VLAN-supported router. Use Nest Wifi or Google Wifi with a VLAN-tagged broadband connection If it does, and it isn’t a Google-supported tag follow the instructions below. To confirm if your ISP uses VLAN tagging, or if you have IPTV or VoIP service through your ISP, ask your ISP if your CPE box (ISP provided modem or router) requires a VLAN tag. To determine the proper tag required, check with your ISP or your modem’s manual. If your ISP requires a different tag, your setup will require an additional device for it to work. Google supports VLAN tag values of 2, 7, and 10 (from a possible range of 0 to 4095). For these, you’ll need additional equipment to support VLAN tagging or your setup will fail. However, some devices with older firmware don't support VLAN tagging out of the box. Nest Wifi and Google Wifi devices built or updated after June 2020, automatically support some VLAN tags and additional steps aren’t usually needed to set up a network. Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) require VLAN tagging in order for their modems to communicate with wireless routers. ![]()
