A:AnswerIt isn’t a simple answer and It’ll depend on a few things.
1. Do they already have Google Mesh WiFi?
2. How big is the house or sq ft you need to cover?
3. How fast is their internet normally?
If it’s > 50 Mbs and they don’t have this you’ll need 2 or 3 of them depending on the size of the house. It should help if they don’t already have Mesh WiFi to be replaced and the speed is fast enough.
A:AnswerIt can only be set up from within the Google Home app, it needs the app and the camera on your smartphone to scan the QR code on the bottom of each satellite during set up.
A:AnswerYes, You can add additional routers to the "network mesh" as necessary later for additional coverage. This is sold as one, two or three units that I know of. You can get as many depending on the square feet of coverage you need.
A:AnswerAll 3 units 'are capable' of being connected to the modem directly, but you connect only only router to the modem. The rest are just connected to the power supply and will automatically create a "network mesh" to have additional coverage. You place the other units that are not connected directly in different locations to have consistent coverage for you house.
A:Answerif your modem is pushing out weak signal the google won't improve that. you have to make sure you getting strong speed directly from your modem. run a download speed directly from your router with a ethernet cable then go from there
A:AnswerI have added new Wi-Fi to both my home and for businesses, using Google Wi-Fi routers. If you don't want to change log ons or passwords just make sure that you make your SSID number the same as your current router connection point is and change the password to what your old password was. Old machines won't know the difference whether they're connecting to your old router or this new Wi-Fi.
A:AnswerI'm in a 1100 square ft home with 1. I may add another, I get excellent coverage in most of the house and very good coverage through out. Your're 2200 sq ft coverage will depend on how the house is laid out, I would guess a ranch would do well with 2, offset on either end from the middle of the home.
In my case, the one pack made sense, as they are $99 each, and I knew I wouldn't need 3 of them. In your case, you may want to think about the value of the 3 pack, which is $25 less than buying individually. I suspect 2 will do, but you may be on the edge of 3 making sense based on the discount and the fact that 3 will absolutely cover your home and likely some yard too.
A:AnswerYou are describing a coaxle. That plugs into the modem and then an Ethernet cable plugs into this device.
Your cable company can lease you a modem if you don't have one.
A:AnswerIt will. The mesh network creates 3 nodes for you devices to connect, if you have one of the nodes in the basement, it will connect to that device instead of trying to connect through the walls.
