A:AnswerSupposedly you can turn off the wireless radio in the modem/router combo. Depending on your internet service provider (ISP) you shouldn't have to buy a modem. Some ISP's don't charge for a good DOCSIS 3.0 or 3.1 modem.
A:AnswerThere are two total Ethernet ports, but one of those is needed for the modem. So in reality you only have one Ethernet port for wiring devices. For me I needed to buy an Ethernet switch to add a few more ports, so I could wire my tv and smart light hub at the same time. Yes it's an extra cost of $30, but routers with more Ethernet ports are far more expensive, larger and unsightly. It's rare to get a good looking router that doesn't look large with many Ethernet ports. You have to make a choice.
A:AnswerOur router never does this. If you're still within your return policy then exchange it. If you can't return/exchange it then get in touch with google. Or if you bought it on a credit card some of them have return protection.
A:AnswerNest WiFi Pro has a gigabit LAN port, so max theoretical speed would be up to a gig. Speeds may improved over the 160mhz band on 6Ghz, but range comes as a sacrifice, as this band is significantly hampered by obstructions.
A:AnswerYes. Nest Wifi Pro plugs in directly to an electrical outlet, it comes with a 22 W adapter with an auto-volt input range voltage of 100V - 240V.
A:AnswerI have gigabyte in, and I usually get about 800 out from my 3-pack. Even so, my Samsung 4K TV “stutters” occasionally, and I’m not sure whether to blame my internet provider, Google, or Samsung.
A:AnswerI tried to use the 15% network recycling coupon and the store refused to accept it for this product. They had no valid explanation.
I submitted a question about this specifically and it has yet to be approved or answered.
A:AnswerHi there, woodpiler. You can have multiple Nest Wifi Pro devices on one network to provide additional coverage. We recommend a maximum of five Wi-Fi devices in a single network. Adding more might be detrimental to Wi-Fi performance. Here’s a link with more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840?hl=en-SG#zippy=
A:AnswerI think 5 or 6 of these routers on your system is possible. But once you reach that, I'd worry about the 5-6th one having decreased speed. There was something stated about this in the paperwork that came with mine.
A:AnswerHello there! We appreciate your inquiry. Unfortunately, this feature isn't available. There are other ways to stay on top of your family’s screen time with the Family Wi-Fi on the Google Home app. Visit this link to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7506043
A:AnswerThe main one is the actual router and the other two are “extenders?” To make up the mesh wifi network. The more you have the larger the coverage.
