The Google refurbished Nest Wifi Pro 6e AXE5400 Mesh Router works great! It arrived in new condition. It was easy to set up in about 5 minutes using the Google Home App. I highly recommend this WIFI router. It puts our ISP's wifi 6E router to shame.

I have used Google's WiFi since their original Home product. Used the WiFi pucks, then Nest WiFi. Abandoned this product line for Netgear Orbi 850s when I moved to a larger house that Nest WiFi could not cover well. Boy, is it good to be back with Nest WiFi Pro!
Although I don't like the Google Home app for setting up and managing WiFi devices (the old, dedicated app was much more pleasant to use), setup of Nest WiFi Pro is easier than ever, and faster. It took under 10 minutes to configure 5 devices. Google even left the firmware updates until after setup, to streamline this process.
Once the network was set up I found out that coverage and speed are both vastly improved over the earlier Nest WiFi products. Orbi still beats it in range, but not by enough to put up with Orbi's occasional manual updates, unstable firmware (I had to reboot mine every week, and individual access points would fall out of sync every few days), and long times between updates.
It is great to have every access point able to serve as a router (even though this means that you might want to mark the one that is assigned as router if you ever decide to move the system). I don't need the access points to serve as speakers (as with the old Nest WiFi), and Google's automatic updates let you just forget the system after initial setup.
Goodbye Netgear. Very glad to have reliable WiFi in the house again.
Update 11/6/22 - One access point (connected wirelessly) has been losing connection for a few minutes here and there after showing up as having a 'Great' connection the rest of the time. Several (including one connected through Ethernet) fell out of sync entirely, had to be restarted (unplugged) to reconnect. It's still more stable than Netgear Orbi, but there is really no excuse for this slip in stability from previous Nest WiFi products.

Was having problems with the wifi on my computer so after many hours of troubleshooting between spectrum and apple support I was recommended to change the router and the obvious choice was the google nest wifi pro 6e. I already had several google products such as the cam and thermastat, to centralize the products under one apps was appealing. The set up was easy and the strength of the signal improved. Another added feature that wasn't easily available on spectrum was the ability to share, run speed test, and change security setting from the app. Overall, I'm happy with the product and getting it for only $80 for the refurbished was a steal.

This is a great wifi router with a great app and is really easy to use. The one bad part is it does not let you create a 2.4Ghz only wifi profile. My smart bulbs and wifi camera require 2.4ghz only and are not compatible with this router. Other than that the features and speed with newer devices is great.

Easy to set up, excellent range. Just 2 replaced 4 of the Google AC1200 and ac2200 router hot spots and it actually increased my internet speed from 100/100 mbbs to 150/150.

The actual product itself is great. Unfortunately, this GeekSquad Certified unit was defective. I bought a certified unit to expand my mesh network. The other Nest WiFi Pro 6E routers I have throughout the house function great and have never experienced any issues.

i had a Google Nest, but it's time to replace it, so i found this for a great price. But didn't come with instructions, and since it was wifi, it would cut off my internet access. Live Chat kept changing people on me, When i called, Best Buy tried to sell me a medical alert device. After the person on the phone couldn't help, i had it boxed and ready to return. i hate returning things.
this morning i decided to try again. This time, with Google's help, The nice girl on the phone patiently helped me and now it's up and running. Thanks Google!
