Google - Nest Wifi - Mesh Router (AC2200) - Snow - Snow

So I took a long time to come around to trying agoogle Nest wifi but a tight budget forced my hand. I am pretty satisfied with the performance and with the ability it has to handle 4k streeming along side keeping my smartphone online and functioning. Just to give you an example I currently have 95 devices on my network I neverhavea slowdown when streaming music or 4k video. For the price range I think this is a great value. Oh and a huge + was that I was able to integrate my old Google WiFi with the Google NestWiFi I did not have to purchase additional access points witch was very nice.

I needed To get a mesh router for a new building i moved Into. I was Pulling 15mps and we were about to switch. The installer that came out recommended this router and I told them I would give it a try. I couldnt be happier with it! Easy is an understatement to use and now i am Pulling 900+ Mps out of the router!

Very easy for me to set this up. I like that it’s small in size, don’t get in the way. So far I had this for a few months and happy.

Working pretty great. I just don't like that you can't manually choose if you'd like to connect to 2.4ghz or 5ghz frequency. You just have to trust that it makes the best decision for your devices.

The Google Nest WIFI AC2200 Router was super easy to set up with the Google Home app. The Google Home app walks you through the installation process with ease. I did have an issue with it connecting to my WIFI smart outlets that run on 2.4GHz. I called up Google and they provided me a workaround to get them set up. (it will require a secondary phone with hotspot capabilities). I am paying for 200 Mbps internet and when I perform the speed test I hit 207 Mbps on Ookla's speedtest. On top of the performance and ease of setup, I put this router ontop of our floating TV console in our living room and it is aesthetically pleasing to look at. My GF did not like our old router with the antennas sticking out. 1. Setup a secondary phone hotspot with the same SSID and password as you configured for your Google Nest WIFI Router 2. Turn on secondary phone hotspot 3. Connect your Phone to the secondary hotspot a. Ensure that you see the blue banner on secondary phone b. Ensure that you see the hotspot symbol on your phone 4. Using the specific WIFI smart app, enter in the same SSID and password as in step 1 5. Once you walk through the steps on the smart app and it successfully connects 6. You can now turn off the hotspot and rename the secondary phone back to its original name 7. On your phone now you can connect back to the Google Nest WIFI 8. Verify controls to WIFI outlets while on the Google Nest WIFI This is to trick your WIFI outlets to thinking its connecting to a 2.4GHz router, this is because the Google Nest WIFI router does not have dedicated WIFI SSID's for 2.4GHz and 5Ghz. (Both channels are rolled up into one SSID) I hope this help others!

Setting up through Google Home app was a breeze. I don't think you really need the Google Wifi app anymore, since you can use the GH app for settings, etc.. Better coverage and way faster than Google Wifi mesh system. I needed 2 pucks with the older mesh system and now I only need the Nest router hooked up to my modem to have strong, fast, reliable Wifi in every space of the house. Very pleased with my purchase!!

I purchased this router to wirelessly connect with Google Nest router connected to my modem. I wanted a hard wire connection to my work laptop in my office to give it the fastest connection. Prior to purchase my laptop connected to web wirelessly with Google Nest wireless point in my office. The connections speed was not awful, but I suspected it would be faster connected to be wired to Google Nest router. I was right, my speed doubled and ping dropped as well, anywhere from 8-15 Ms depending on the time of day. Set up is easy. You connect the 2nd router just like if u set up a wireless point. After it is set up I connected my Cat8 cable (5 ft) to my laptop. The initial set up of router took about 10 minutes, then another 5 to 10 minutes for the Ethernet connection to my laptop to to work at its full potential. Overall , I am happy with purchase and set up. I know there a couple other options out there with a little more flexibility or maybe slightly cheaper, but the low profile of the Google Nest appealed to me and my family.

This router can handle blazing fast speed. I have Fios 1 GB connection, which with old Google wifi hub could only support upto 500 mbps. But this newer model can carry upto 900 mbps. The range is also much powerful than previous version. As I was moving from old google wifi to this new model, I had to recreate my network and reconnect all my devices. I also had to factory reset my old google wifi hubs to connect them to this router as wifi point. Its an hour worth of effort, but very rewarding. This router only works with google home app, but you can still see the network information in google wifi app.
