A:AnswerAs soon as you have no (or Poor) wireless connectivity some where in or around your home and you want it. I have three in my house (one on each flloor) and we love it. We never have a problem with any device connecting. I have about a 2,000 Sq foot home - three levels, a deck in the back and a patio on the side. Everything is completely covered. So, you know by the performance of your connectivity. If you dont have or lose your signal or if it's constantly poor, I would add a unit. One unit is really good, 2 is better and three is great etc...
A:AnswerIf you have a smart TV, you should have the option to hardwire through an ethernet port from the Google wifi to the TV. Also, most smart TVs have the option to connect wirelessly.
A:AnswerThe hotspot would need an ethernet out. I wouldn't recommend. a work around could be a wifi repeater that has an ethernet out, and then run the out to the google wifi, but thats a pretty non-professional solution.
A:AnswerYes, this will work. I have 6 mesh points:
1 primary access connected to ATT cable modem
1 connected to a wired network cable to PS4
1 connected to a wired network switch and cables with TiVo, XBox One X
3 other mesh points feeding Wireless to tablets and smart phones
A:AnswerThese run off of your modem. You plug one into the modem and then place the second or third wherever you would like. These would most likely work a lot better than a regular router would for your situation.
A:AnswerIts a onetime purchase for Google WiFi, but Google WiFi is not your internet service provider. but your internet service provider has a monthly cost. You will need to ask them for that cost.
A:AnswerI’m not sure what the total bandwidth could be, but for practical use we routinely have four sources streaming a mix of Xbox, Netflix, web applications, Sonos, and other services with no issues. Bought the 3 pack for coverage in a big house and it’s been great in all rooms.
A:AnswerBecause the throughput is so much better, you will likely see a speed improvement. However, Google WiFi can only be as good as your service provider. Also, because it has so much better coverage (range) you will likely sense that everything seems faster. so the answer is likely both faster (seemingly faster) up to about the speed of a direct LAN connection. The range and coverage will be way better - particularly if you go from a singal wifi router to the mesh of 3 (as I did).
