My Google Nest Wifi (H2D) won't distribute internet

Hi guys,

Got a hold of a Nest Wifi H2D that I wanted to add to my setup of Google Wifis. The previous owner did warn me he had trouble to get it to work with mesh but that worked great as a router. I thought to myself that he was just a non-techy person and that I would get it to work.

I tried to add it as another access point (bridge mode) but got nowhere. I figured that I might as well try to add it as the main router since it would be the strongest device in my ecosystem. So i reset my whole network and began to try to add it.

I tried and tried and tried. Nothing worked, until i finally disconnected from the wifi it had created, then i was able to complete the setup. Cool, i thought. So i connected to the wifi it created but discovered pretty fast that there was no internet. I disconnected and used cellular data, then i could access the wifi in Google home. I was able to configure it and everything you expect.

I even performed a speed test and confirmed that the nest wifi got internet but couldn't distribute it.

Since it wouldnt work i had to go back to my previous setup and adding the devices went flawless.

Anyone else who have had the same problem with a Nest Wifi device?
