I don't have tv through google, but I did find some instructions that say they will work. Maybe we can get together and try it out. If it works we could help others get it set up.

I have been so frustrated by the wireless service on google fiber. I finally went out and bought a wireless router but I haven't had the time to set it up yet. I have been reading about plenty of people that have been struggling to get their configured correctly. Ideally I would like my router to replace the wireless service that the google network box provides and have everything else work the same. I have read that many people that use their own router lose all the features associated with their wireless devices. They can no longer play recorded shows on their tablets and phones. Their tablets and phones can no longer function as a remote control, and they can no longer send videos playing on their wireless devices to their TV's. Have you seen any of these drawbacks?
