Google Wi-Fi provides internet coverage to multiple devices at a given time. It features a firewall which acts as a barrier between the Internet and your Wi-Fi network. This firewall protects your data from incoming unauthorized connections and hacker attacks.

Through port forwarding, other devices can connect to your server and access the specific services that you are hosting. We give you a simplified step by step guide on how to set up Google Wi-Fi port forwarding and enjoy a more stable and fast connection while running your programs.
