Just want to share my experience with Helix and Google Wifi mesh network as when I was subscribing no one seemed to know if it would work or not. The short answer is it works perfectly - but requires some manual adjustments.
1. Set-up your helix wifi modem router using the app
2. Connect your Main Google wifi point to the Helix router ethernet with the red line marking
3. Restart the helix modem and then restart the Google wifi main point
4. Both HELIX and your Google wifi networks will now work at the same time which means you do not need to migrate all of your devices to a new network
5. Bridge Mode to ONLY have your google wifi network (and close the Helix wifi signal and simply use as a cable modem). I tried this and for some reason internet speeds on the google network were substantially slower than if I left it in normal mode. So after experimenting I now leave the HELIX with BRIDGE MODE DISABLED – so you will have a choice of either Helix or Google Network for Wifi.
6. YOU CAN connect your TV Helix devices to the Google Network. I have one TV connected to the Google wifi network and one to Helix wifi - and both work perfectly.
Hope this helps others.

@northernpixels This looks like what I am hoping to accomplish. Are you getting any interference or instability in your signals running two routers? Are they positioned a certain distance apart and are you doing anything in terms of setting different channels?

@northernpixels This is what I am hoping to achieve. Are you doing anything in particular to ensure stable and consistent signals from both routers? For example, are they positioned away from each other, are you running different channels on 2.4 and 5 on each, etc?

Hi
Did you change any of the network config on your google device so that they're all on the same subnet?
thx

The person is trying to achieve stable and consistent signals from two routers. They’re asking if you’re taking any specific steps to ensure this. For example, they mention positioning the routers away from each other and using different channels for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on each router. They’re curious if you're implementing similar strategies to avoid interference and maintain a strong signal. It seems they want to compare methods to see if there’s anything else they could be doing to improve their setup. CredibleBH
