Great product. Easy to set up when you follow the google home app. It was bigger than what I expected but its minimal design fits with any corners of the room. I bought a mount to place the router on the wall in the hallway if you want to cover multiple rooms on the second floor. I am using Verizon Fios router 300MB, and these Nest routers just work fine. No complaint.

I am using this for 1 years really love it. I have a big house so having some signal issues after I bought this I didn’t have any issues at all. You can customize your WiFi name and password with the app is really great. I highly recommend this product.

I was looking for a mesh wireless router system to replace an old orbi router I had that wouldn’t quite reach my entire house. I was a little hesitant buying a refurbished unit but it has been very good so far. Set up is quick using the google home app and you can run speed tests and see connected devices directly from the app from anywhere. All 3 units have Ethernet ports allowing you to hardwire any devices you need to. Now that I have 3 units my entire house is covered and I could still add more later if needed. Note that this line has two releases: one in 2016 and another in 2020. Be sure to check your unit as you’ll want the newer one. Google has also released a newer version that has better coverage and speed but costs more and the mesh units do not all have Ethernet ports. Overall I’m very happy and would recommend for ease of setup and good coverage

Works great so far, very easy setup with the Google home app. Getting max speeds from my ISP in almost my entire house now. About the third of the price of the new Nest units, my internet is only 100-150mbps so the extra speed of the Nest units was not warranted. Also appreciate the gigabit ports on the older Google units.
Great price refurbished and came in retail packaging, with brand new accessories. The routers themselves were in very good shape, minor scuffs on the tops of each but you have to look close.

These units look and operate like new units. I only had one problem getting them joined to my existing network. Because they were "refurbished" units, they had already connected to a network and did not want to join mine. I eventually got help from Google online chat support. They helped me find the hidden master reset button to wipe the old network from each device. After that, everything is on and working well. The 30% discount from new price was worth the extra effort.

We needed something to help with the connection for our ring cameras. They were being dropped constantly on our old WiFi but not since switching. These were actually recommended to me by a person who works for spectrum. He said it’s the ones they use. They don’t actually show up with my spectrum account but I’ve never had an issue using them with my spectrum service. I like that they have a place to view who’s connected and restart my WiFi in the google home app. My WiFi has been way stronger since switching to these and setup was super simple!

This immediately made my wifi better. It just works. I wish that it was more configurable - separate names for 2.4 and 5 GHz networks would be nice - but once it was installed and working I got MUCH better coverage in my garage. So much so that it made some equipment that I'd considered returning work well enough to keep.

Works great. Easy to set up. Sadly, the Geek Squad refurbishment was not done correctly (some old data stayed in one unit) but with Google's amazing phone support, we got it fixed. Units work great. Mesh is the way to go for better coverage throughout the house!

I feels it works like a brand new product. I’ve been using it since two moths ago now and I’ve never lost signal and it increased the speed in the room I have my computer. Definitely works it.

I recently moved my man cave to the basement in our house as the kids are getting older and leaving the home. Once I moved everything down there I noticed buffing and slow load times on my football games as well as video games. I tried a wifi extender with no luck. After a little research I decided to try Google wifi. The setup is easy and it fixed my problem. I know have my own point downstairs with a port switch and everything plug in directly.
