Wired backhaul

About​

Here are some diagrams I've made to show how one should do wired backhaul with Google / Nest Wifi. The goal was to show it as simple as possible, with the audience being community users at googlenestcommunity.com.

Diagrams were made using draw.io with the IBM color blind safe color palette.
