Far too EASY too use! Yes, too easy!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off I love my Google Nest items and thought this would be the perfect companion. So first the PROs of the device. Just plug it in. That is it. Just plug it in and you are done. Setup is that easy. Now for the CONs: You have NO control. The unit won't let you change WiFi channels. It simply selects the one it thinks is best for you and does the rest. There is no web page to log into to over ride default settings. It just does the WiFi part for you. You may still have to configure your router. And of course mine opted for Channel 1 and there is no way to change that. The good news is that this thing is POWERFUL!!!! It kicked my neighbors who were using the default of channel 1 clean off. Not only did it kick my neighbors off channel one, it kicked off many of the distant ones as well. Now I am the only one on channel 1 and everyone else is using other channels. So why would I only give it three stars? Well I am a tech guy and I like having the control to put it where I want it and not have it treat me as if I am a newb. That said I have no complaints about the WiFi aspects of it. Google needs to work on the Assistant. It's still not ready for prime time but neither are Siri or Aleaxa. My biggest beef with all of them is that they won't let you change the Assistants name and the documentation for Google does state that it has a problem with dogs named Boo or Boo Boo. No, our dog's name isn't Boo. It's Blue which seems to be close enough. Get with it Google! Fix the Assistant NOW! Google assistant is pretty nice when you get used to speaking slowly. Too bad these are outdated and I need to blow another $399 to upgrade. Oh and yes they are FAST so not sure I need 6E especially now that WiFi 7 is out.

Nice design, works as expected
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the device and how it has more than one functionality. It has speaker abilities and smart options that make it a great addition to my home. One thing I will say is that I enabled the feature that lowers your tv when Google is prompted to speak. When it is operating as it should the sound is raised, reverting to the previous volume. However, often times it will be triggered by a random utterance on tv and the sound will stay low. Not a big issue as I could turn the feature off and it is not the main focus of the Wi-Fi mesh. Most times when devices have a lot of features there will be quirks, so it is not a deal breaker. The Wi-Fi is boosted in my home and can reach all rooms. I only experienced a few issues with the mesh saying the connection was bad via the Google home app, which I believe may be related to my internet service provider.

Superb Wifi Speeds and Coverage
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the Asus Ac 5300 for about 2 years. Great router for gaming, but doesn't cover the 5,000 sq ft that it advertises. Maybe it does, but my walls are insulated with foam and I was hardly getting a bar in my garage area (2900sq) to connect my 2 garage doors to wifi. I made a decision to buy another Asus router to mesh. I bought the AC 2900 and it really changed the game, but now I was about $500-600 invested. The routers didn't look attractive at all since we moved to a newer modern home so I invested in these tiny Google routers and boy are they a game changer. Now I don't worry about updates or any problems what so ever. I am very glad I finally made the move to this new system after many years with Asus. They are worth every penny and more! I highly recommend these to anyone that wants superior wifi coverage and speeds.

Great mesh internet coverage, few setup hiccups
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were looking to extend our gigabit wifi coverage and already owned the previous generation Google Wifi mesh extenders, so I figured upgrading to the Google Nest Wifi made sense as the old version had served us well. These newer ones perform as advertised: stronger coverage over a wider area thanks to the updated hardware in the current units! We upgraded to whole home security cameras, so I wanted to ensure we didn’t see any dropouts or higher battery drain due to poor wireless speed/strength, and so far I’m happy to report they are working out great. A big positive for me was the hardware microphone mute for these units. Honestly I would have preferred being able to buy these without the built-in microphone/voice assistance feature just out of privacy concerns, but being able to disable it manually on the hardware itself and see the LEDs on the bottom of the points change to Orange/Red to show the mic is disabled once you flip the switch is handy. The biggest negative I have for these was that the setup was not flawless, and even required me to reach out to support as it wasn’t anything that could be fixed through standard troubleshooting like power cycling or doing a factory reset and redoing the network setup from scratch. The other issue I had was trying to add my old google wifi units as access points since their documentation notes the old ones could still be used as long as you didn’t try to exceed their recommended “limit” of having no more than 5 access points connected to a single router. After factory resetting the older units and trying to add them to the mesh network, I noticed considerable issues with signal degradation as it seemed like it was actually introducing interference rather than boosting signal coverage in other areas of the house. The new Google Home app that lets you control/monitor your network is pretty good overall as well, aside from returning a lot of “Unnamed Device” names for the hardware found on our network - I don’t recall the old “Google Wifi” app having the same issue. Slight negatives aside, I am still quite pleased with the newer Google Nest Wifi mesh router and access points - the speeds are solid, they transmit fairly well throughout the walls and home in general, and aside from the initial setup hiccups, they’ve been performing flawlessly ever since. Overall, I’d highly recommend the Nest Mesh router/points system and since the rating system doesn’t allow it, I’d note that if possible I’d give this one 4.5 stars out of 5.

Great for Google Home Households
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently moved from a small one-bedroom apartment into a house, so the drop in WiFi signal from one end of the house to the other was surprising. Our internet speeds are 200 Mbps down/ 10 Mbps up and we receive that while in the room with the router. Moving to the other end of the home where we sleep and that signal would drop to around 30 mbps down and 8 Mbps up. After purchasing this kit, the router is still on one side of the home, we have one access point in the middle of the home in our library and another in the primary bedroom and we maintain the 200 Mbps down / 10 Mbps pretty much everywhere in and around the home. We're already a decently heavy Google household so the fact that the access points double as voice assistants is pretty handy as well. The largest con to the Nest Wifi router is the fact that it only has one ethernet port. This is fine, because an 8 port Gigabit Ethernet switch is like $25 at most. But I can see how people who aren't necessarily tech-savvy have no idea what a network switch even is. The other con is the lack of choosing what WiFi network to connect to (whether it be 5 Ghz or 2.4 GHz). For the most part, the automation works well, but there are a few times where my partners desktop will only connect to 2.4 Ghz and it leaves her with a slightly slower connection. Overall kinda minor, as it quickly adjusts, but still an inconvenience. With that being said, I still think this Mesh Router from Nest is the go-to option for those who are already a Google household. So far, the issues presented are minor at best, but I would highly recommend picking up a network switch with this router to ensure you have enough Ethernet ports available.

Best Router I have ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired with Arris Surfboard 3.0 (also reviewed), the best wifi service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this pair. I used to have cable company modem and could not have more than 3 devices connected at once without the frustration of lagging. With my Arris Surfboard and Google Nest pairing, I have had as much as 12 devices connected at the same time and no lagging. I am so happy I no longer have to constantly get stressed about my wifi signal like before ^_^ I normally do not review products unless they blow my expectations away. This product with the Arris surfboard pairing did exactly that. Absolutely phenomenal!!!

Google Mesh is the real deal
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to update my wifi router, so I researched the mesh wifi routers. I also love the android software over apple, I had just switched my phone from Iphone to Google Pixel 5. However I was skeptical of how good the Google Nest would be. Researching through many routers Google kept showing up as rating in top 5 of many reviews. I decided to buy it. I have no regrets. First let me explain my setup. We live in an apartment building where you see many wifi setups using similar channels from the people living above or below or across from your apartment, this can cause interference hence your wifi speed suffers. With my older router I had to manually change the wifi channel used to communicate with all the devices in my apartment. This would help temporarily increase my wifi speeds. However it was a pain to have to do this manually. I pay for 100 MBPS internet, and I was averaging 60-75 MBPS on wifi, higher if I was using ethernet wire directly to the router. The farthest room had low wifi signal and would only get at best 20 MBPS. With Google Nest I am getting beyond the speed I pay. This is possible because Google Nest is constantly monitoing the best wifi channel, and will automatically change the channel to optimize and maintain the highest speeds. On my Google pixel 5 phone I get up to 200 MBPS on Wifi. My PS4 gets on avg 150 MBPS. The farthest room in the Apartment gets 110 MBPS way more than the 20 MBPS speeds with the old router. The setup was very easy and I was up and running in about 10 minutes. For some it may take longer if they need to figure out the best place for their router and the mesh wifi point. I pretty much knew where to put mine. One last point is that Google automatically updates your router and they give you details in their app, called Google Wifi. I truly recommend this mesh router to anyone living in apartments as there are many wifi setups that can cause interference around you. Also recommend this to anyone upgrading their router.

Nice, but Quirky...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My system is rather complex: a high end home theater system including 2 TVs, 2 Apple TV 4Ks, Roku, Blu-Ray player, & pre amp all connected to a 16 port TCP Link Ethernet switch. My ISP is AT&T Fiber. All of my my AV equipment is on a rack in a closet and this has created a WiFi 'dead spot' in my main viewing room since the AT&T router/modem is also on the AV rack in the closet. Enter Google Nest. I've had the Nest Wifi for over a month. Initial setup is a breeze. I installed the Home app on my iPhone and there were no issues. Voice command setup went well too. I have it placed on my kitchen counter next to my HT room and, as advertised, it provides a separate network. No more dead spot. I leave all the other HT devices connected ethernet using the AT&T Router network and I mainly use my laptop on the Google network. The connection is stable, and with all the other devices connected on the other network, there's no lag at all. I have a Sirius subscription and it is easy to link the account with Nest to stream thought it as well, which I use all the time. Now the bad part: After about two weeks of use out of the blue, the Point was no longer recognizing ANY of my voice commands. I would ask it play channel number *** on Sirius and it would reply "I'm sorry, I don't recognize that artist. It was like I was speaking a different language, NOTHING was making sense from this device anymore. Out of frustration, the only thing I could do was a factory reset of the Router & Point. Since then, things have been back to where they were before. However, many times while it is streaming either Sirius or my favorite Internet radio station, it will stop on it's own for no reason. There is still a connection when this is happening because I am using my laptop at the same time on the same network without issues. This happens quite a lot. Overall, I would say this a great WiFi nest and a so-so device for streaming for the reasons I mentioned.

Q: QuestionDoes this new Google Nest Wifi work with the older Google Wifi? For example can I connect the two so my old Google Wifi acts as the wifi extender?
Asked by kay.
- A:Answer Yes, it can. I found myself in the same situation but felt that leaving the old Google Wi-Fi as the main router was defeating one of the greatest benefits the new Nest Wi-Fi solution offers: much better bandwidth if the Nest Wi-Fi Router is used as the main router. To do this, I Reset the old Google Wi-Fi using an option in the old Google Wi-Fi app - which you have to do if you plan on adding the old units into this new environment. I then added the Nest Wi-Fi Router in as my main router using Google Home and named the network exactly the same as my old network - to include the same password. By calling this new network the same as the old and by using the same password, all your devices will immediately connect to the new network - albeit, with new IP addresses. I then set up the Nest Wi-FI Point using Google Home, followed by adding two of the old Google Wi-Fi units. In doing this, I now have the Nest Router as my high-performance router (much faster than the old one), and a total of 4 devices, i.e. Nest Router, Nest Point, and two of the three Google Wi-Fi units. I didn't need the third so I'm keeping it aside in case one breaks. Still, you can add the new Nest devices into your old network configuration if you want but will miss out on the benefits the new Nest offers.

Q: QuestionWill this work with my AT&T U-verse NVG599 gateway?
Asked by MoorparkGuy.
- A:Answer Yes, Google Nest WiFi can work with your system. But NVG599 is a modem/router combo and you would need to put it in bridge mode or disable its Wi-Fi functionality in order to set up Nest WiFi as your primary router and create a mesh Wi-Fi system throughout your home.

Q: QuestionI have a Netgear wifi router that connected to modem, so if i connect this "google - Nest wifi router with 2 points" to Netgear wifi router but not directly to modem, Will this work ?
Asked by century1721.
- A:Answer I would get rid of the Netgear router and just use the mesh system. I would hook the modem up to the nest Wifi router then place the points appropriately throughout the house.

Q: QuestionHow does it work? We have Spectrum WiFi now and want to switch to Google Nest. Is it as simple as purchasing the 2pack plugging it in and we have WiFi?? Or do we need something more?
Asked by Jose.
This question was asked about the related product: Nest Wifi - Mesh Router (AC2200) and 1 point with Google Assistant - 2 pack
- A:Answer Yes and no. If your modem is easily accessible, has an empty port AND a close by electrical outlet and there is an outlet where you want to locate the hub - you could be up and running in 10 - 15 minutes. It took me about 30 minutes as I needed a ladder, had reroute a long extension cord to reach an almost inaccessible outlet for the main orb, and find an asthetically suitable location with an outlet for the second. Our than that it is super easy. Plug in the network cable and power, load an app on your phone, name the new network and password, answer some simple questions, push a button and wait a few minutes and you're up and running. Our house is over 3300 square feet, two stories and the property is long. We now have very strong wifi throughout the house and property. Works very well for us.
