The answer to that all depends on the size of you home, but a rough estimate IMO would be one for every 1800 feet. If you look at their ecomendations it 1 for up to 2200 2 for up to 3700 and 3 for up to 5400. Signal is of course blocked by different materials in the house so that can change things. I have 3000 sqft, but it is single level and an open floor plan, so 2 work great for me. Also, the access points are wireless mesh, you just need power and they have Google assistant as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Wi-Fi signal strength may be affected by Wi-Fi interference like physical barriers which may cause slower connection to the Internet when using the wifi or intermittent "connection lost" messages. As a general rule, Wifi points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. You can check this link to see an estimate of how much Wi-Fi coverage you’ll get with a Google Nest Wifi and guide you on how many wifi points you need: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840 Also, Google Nest Wifi is a mesh network Wi-Fi system. All points are connected to each other wirelessly, but do need to be plugged into an outlet.
