Question about Google Nest WiFi router and access point

I have an older modem from my internet provider with only one LAN connection to my laptop. Would now be interested in the Google Nest WiFi router as I have not had WiFi in the house until now. Can I run the Google router in parallel with the LAN if I were to get a new modem with multiple LAN ports (for the laptop as before and additionally for the router)?

Helpful answer

You can also use the existing router. Plug the LAN connector from the computer into the WAN connector of the Nest router and then use a new cable (approx. 2m in the package) from the LAN connector of the Nest router to your computer.
This way you have WiFi in the house and everything else as usual. In addition, you benefit from better protection in the Nest router and have two firewalls for increased security (old and new router).
