Google WiFi working with Fios wireless TV boxes

I just had fios triple play installed with two wireless TV boxes --- no easy way to run coax to one area where we have our TV located. Issue I have is that wireless TV box is getting a poor WiFi signal and pausing.

I have google WiFi to setup a mesh, but how to I get my Fios wireless TV box to connect to the google WiFi?

I tried turning WiFi off on the quantum router, connecting ONT to Google and Google to WAN port on Quantum without any luck.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Currently, the Mini boxes only work on a Verizon router or Moca extender.

It uses a secret SSID as well as some other features that are only supported by Verizon router.

Same issue, I have the new One boxes and have google Wifi in my house, Verizon needs a work around here, every household is using third party WiFi Solutions so Verizon should allow the One boxes to connect via a mesh network, I.e google

Same issue for me, I've been waiting for a solution for almost a year now.

Same issue here, most remote TV "One Mini" doesn't mesh with my Google Wifi so going to have to connect to coax which I wanted to avoid by getting this system.

VERIZON PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!

The problem is Google Wifi cannot be configured as an access point. Fortunately or unfortunately, your solution may be using Netgear Orbi. They can be set to an access point.

The other solution which isn't really a solution in my opinion. You only use one Google wifi device and set it to bridge mode. It can only be done as a single device. Then you can effectively use it as an extender.

I have not tried either of these, but I have talked to poeple who have. I don't personally know how effective either of these solutions are.
