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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm finding that this system has trouble connecting to the "nodes" - it allows you to run a "mesh test" and that test produces results that change constantly. I have a home that is only 1,600 square feet and I had to buy 2 additional nodes (it came with 1); imagine 1 router w/node plus 3 additional just to get coverage in a 1,600sqft home. The costs of all that was insane, but I read the reviews and wanted to make it work - and now that I'm like $750 into it w/Spectrums 900mbps service I'm still not getting anything great. Yes it's an older home but I had better connection with my old lynksys mesh. Maybe it's interference of some type but this router doesn't allow manual config options.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, just plug the Nest router into the Spectrum modem/router.
