WiFi 7 with my old Google routers

+15
Yes, you can make a new Wi-Fi 7 router work with your old Google router, but your old Google router will only function at the slower Wi-Fi standard it supports, not Wi-Fi 7. To get the new router's full speed, you should set up the Wi-Fi 7 router as your primary device and consider using the old router as a separate access point or replace it with a Wi-Fi 7 compatible mesh system. 
How to use them together:
  1. Set up the new Wi-Fi 7 router as the primary device. 
    Plug it in and connect it to your modem, then use its companion app to set it up. 
  2. Connect your old Google router. 
    You can do this by:
    • Using the old Google router as an access point. You can connect the new Wi-Fi 7 router to the old Google router via Ethernet and configure the old router to provide Wi-Fi coverage in a separate area, according to Reddit users and Netgear.
    • Creating a separate network. You can name the new Wi-Fi 7 network with a different SSID and password than your old Google router network. 
  3. Consider replacing the old router. 
    For the best performance and future-proofing, you might want to upgrade your old Google router to a Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, according to Facebook users. 
What to expect:
  • Your new Wi-Fi 7 router will provide the latest speed and features for compatible devices. 
  • Your old Google router will continue to operate on its existing Wi-Fi standard (e.g., Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6), not Wi-Fi 7. 
  • Using the old router as a separate access point might not support automatic device handoff to the new Wi-Fi 7 network. 
  • You will not be able to use the new router's full features on your old router.
