WAN settings
WAN settings let you control how Google Wifi connects to the Internet. The type of WAN
connection you have is generally determined by your Internet Service Provider.
In WAN settings, you can choose from one of the WAN types below and configure their
respective settings:
 DHCP
 Static IP
 PPPoE credentials
Wide Area Network (WAN) is the outside world’s network of connected computers. Think of
WAN as the Internet. Contrast this with LAN (local area network), which is the collection of
devices in your home. LAN is your personal network. Your LAN devices -- a tablet streaming a
video or a computer surfing the Internet -- receive all data from the WAN through your router.
How do I edit WAN settings?
Note: To edit your WAN settings, Google Wifi must be offline and your mobile must be
connected to Google Wifi locally (you can’t do this far away from your Wifi points). Disconnect
the Ethernet cable from your Primary Wifi point and wait until the light pulses amber. Make sure
your mobile device is still connected to your Google Wifi network.
1. Open the Google Wifi app.
2. Tap the tab, then Network & general.
3. In the ‘Network’ section, tap Advanced settings > WAN.
