T-Mobile Home Internet + Google Nest WiFi

1. Make sure the wifi point you plug into the T-Mobile gateway is the "router" point (the point that was plugged into your old modem), not one of the "bridge" points. Otherwise you'll have to RESET all wifi points in the mesh just like you had to do when you first setup your Google mesh.  Use the Google Home app if you need to find which point is your Google wifi "router" point.

Godblessyuh for this helpful comment. I was upstairs trying to get the Google Wifi to work by plugging the T-Mobile gateway into one of the *other* points, and it wasn't working. T-Mobile customer support tech was a very nice guy, but had no training on how to hook up Google Wifi to the T-Mobile gateway, and couldn't find any information in their files.

After finding this post I took the gateway downstairs and plugged it into the original router point -- the one I'd had attached to my cable modem -- and it started working right away. Simple plug and play, no IP address changes or other changes needed. Sweet relief, thanks!
