- General
- Brand: Google
- Model Number: GSRF GA02434-US
- Product Name: Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Nest AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi Router (3-Pack)
- Color: White
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA3 (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Security Features: WPA3 encryption, Automatic security updates, Trusted Platform Module
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 50
- Number of Antennas: 12
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 4500 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 6 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 6 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 2 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Supported: 50 (Maximum quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes that are able to be connected to the main router in a Wi-Fi Mesh System.)
- Wired Backhaul: true (Also known as Ethernet backhaul or backbone, this capability can be enabled to directly wire a secondary router or satellite to the main router via Ethernet cable. This connection allows for faster and more stable data upload.)
- Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)
- Routing Protocol: Yes (The protocol used for communicating and distributing information in a computer network.)
- Transport Protocol: Yes (The protocol used for connection-oriented transmissions, flow control, etc. within the transport layer of the network.)

- Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)

A: All Google Wifi points has routing capabilities with 2 Ethernet ports, you can choose to set up any unit as your primary router and connect it to your modem via Ethernet. Then, add the other Wifi points as your child point wirelessly to create a whole Wi-Fi mesh setup.
A: I used these instructions for set-up: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7183148 And this video helped too: https://youtu.be/wG4levqWSsM Hope this helps!
Q: Is this refurbished by the manufacturer or the Best Buy store?
A: I am not sure but it works perfectly. It was sent to me from a Best Buy warehouse. Nothing was missing but it was an open box. The cables were not as neatly bundled. Big savings on my side and I recommended it to friends. Really helped my wifi coverage through my house. Hope this helps.
Q: can I connect a switch to the primary router (or even to each of the satellites)
A: Yes. I have several switches downstream from the main router. I use ethernet backhaul for my mesh system. So switches are needed if you need to plug in more than 1 device.
Q: Is this one router and two extender?
A: All three devices are the same. You choose one to setup as the primary point and connect it to your modem. The other two devices can be setup and connected to the primary point, then placed wherever you need WiFi extended.
A: Absolutely! All Google Wifi (2016 and 2020 models) and Nest Wifi devices are compatible to create a mesh system. You can simply add additional Wifi points to your existing Google Wifi mesh system. We recommend a maximum of 6 Wifi points in a single mesh setup including the primary router. For an estimate of how much Wi-Fi coverage you’ll get with Google Wifi and a guide to how many Wifi points you need check here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840
Q: Does this replace my current router or can it be used with my router to help extend it's connection?
A: Google Wifi is designed to replace traditional routers to provide seamless, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. It works with most modems and internet service providers (ISP). You can connect Google Wifi directly to your modem with the Ethernet cable to set it up and broadcast your Wi-Fi network.
Q: Are these refurbished 2016 or 2020 models?
A: This is a Google Wifi 2020 model. Check tech specs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6280668
