Yes. Google Wifi replaces your traditional router to provide seamless, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. Internet speed and reception depend on the modem and internet service provided by ISP. Google Wifi can help distribute the full speed it receives from your modem.

You add additional google mesh devices throughout your home to provide a strong WiFi signal to all rooms. We have four mesh devices in a two story house - one in the basement, two on the main floor and one in the upstair’s office. The google devices manage the frequencies and channels on your WiFi network to maximize connection speed to all connected devices.
