Mesh Wi-Fi With G.Network: Deco, Eero, Orbi and Nest Wifi Setup
12 November 2026 · By Ethan Fernandes
Using TP-Link Deco, Amazon Eero, Netgear Orbi or Google Nest Wifi with G.Network? Whether you can replace the G.Network router, the settings it needs, and how to keep your home phone working.
Quick fix
G.Network publishes little guidance on third-party routers, so the safest setup is to keep the G.Network router as the router, connect your mesh in access point or bridge mode and turn off the router's Wi-Fi. Ask G.Network for settings before replacing its router.

Get help todayG.Network has built its own full fibre network across parts of London, including Westminster, Chelsea, Kensington and Notting Hill, often into period houses and mansion blocks where Wi-Fi struggles through thick walls. Mesh is the natural fix.
The short version: G.Network publishes little guidance on third-party routers, so the safest setup is to keep the G.Network router as the router, connect your mesh in access point or bridge mode and turn off the router's Wi-Fi. Ask G.Network for settings before replacing its router.
What G.Network Allows
G.Network doesn't publish much guidance on using your own router, so the safest approach is to keep its router as the router and run your mesh in access point mode. If you want to replace it, ask G.Network for the connection settings first.
Option 1: Mesh Straight to the Fibre Socket
Only do this once G.Network has confirmed the settings your line needs. Then connect the main mesh unit in place of their router, enter the settings, keep the mesh in router mode and check you're online. Keep the G.Network router in case it's needed for fault testing.
Option 2: Keep the G.Network router, Mesh in Access Point Mode
- Connect the main mesh unit to the G.Network router with a network cable.
- Switch the mesh to access point or bridge mode (see below).
- Turn off the G.Network router's Wi-Fi, so devices only join the mesh.
- Place the other mesh units around the home and test every room.
This works reliably on any line and needs no special settings.
Home Phone
If you have a home phone service that plugs into the G.Network router, keep the router connected and use Option 2.
Access Point Mode on Each Mesh System
- TP-Link Deco: Deco app, More > Advanced > Operation Mode > Access Point.
- Amazon Eero: eero app, Settings > Network settings > DHCP & NAT > Bridge.
- Netgear Orbi: orbilogin.com, Advanced > Router / AP Mode > AP Mode.
- Google Nest Wifi: bridge mode only supports a single unit, so extra points stop working. Keep Nest Wifi in router mode with the provider's Wi-Fi turned off instead, or connect it directly where the provider allows.

Common questions
Yes. The simplest, most reliable setup is to keep the G.Network router as the router, connect your mesh to it in access point or bridge mode, and turn off the router's Wi-Fi.
Ask G.Network for the connection settings for your line first, as it publishes little guidance. Until then, keep its router and use your mesh in access point mode.
Usually the building, not the fibre: thick walls in period houses and mansion blocks block Wi-Fi from a single router. Mesh units in the main rooms fix it.
Yes, but Nest Wifi only supports one unit in bridge mode, so keep it in router mode behind the G.Network router with that router's Wi-Fi turned off.
