I like how it's nested, no pun intended, and integrated within the Google Home app making it easier to access the router settings and make any changes necessary. It doesn't take up a lot of space and it's minimal. When it's actually connecting then the speeds are pretty up there. However, there is a ton of latency and it needs to be restarted all of the time. Plus it only has one ethernet port and you can't choose dual band, it chooses for you. Lastly, WPA3 is a nightmare for older devices and it doesn't allow you to set it to WPA2 WPA3 mode. And oh one more thing, it's terribly priced. It should be 150 at the most.

Got this to replace my old Google mesh that newer devices were having a hard time staying connected to. I am glad I upgraded. Setup was easy. Everything is connecting and staying connected.

I purchased this router to replace an overpriced Eero router. The connectivity is very reliable. Easy to setup. Great range and great value! Disappointed that these access points don't double as a Google home like the previous models, but overall a great router. WiFi signal is strong and fast.
Hey there, DoubleURX! Thanks for writing us feedback, and we’re glad you like the overall performance of Nest Wifi Pro. We hear your concern about having a Google Assistant-enabled speaker.

I have to be honest, I hate this purchase. I'm not even sure why I purchased it other than we have a lot of google devices and I thought they'd integrate well. This is a terrible system if you want to connect through ethernet. The wifi coverage is not terrible but it doesn't live up to its claims. Next home, we're going with Unify.
Hey there, JohndC. We’re sorry to hear the Nest Wifi Pro wasn’t quite what you were looking for. Here are a few tips to getting the best possible connection:
1. Your device is far from your Wifi router: often moving your device closer to your router or point will result in improved connection. 2. Building materials and other objects may slow your connection: if possible, try to use your device within a clear line of sight to your router or point. 3. Some devices do not support the faster Wi-Fi standards: speed is dependent on both the router or point and the device that is connected to it. If you have an older device, it may not support the latest standards for the fastest speeds.

I switched to this particular mesh system because my netgear nighthawk gaming router kept dropping wifi and wired connection to certain devices frequently causing constant reboots. It also had a 6.0 GHz channel available and was a lot more affordable than a couple of the competitors that also offered it. One downside though is that it is still only a gigabit router where a couple others I saw were 2500 Mbs or 10 Gbs. But again, way more affordable.
Set up was pretty straight forward using the Google home app. Only hang up was when trying to set up both satellite devices at first it would not detect them but after some screwing around with the app they would set up fine.
The range is great, I full strength now everywhere in my house and even in most of my yard now. The app let's you control all your normal wifi and router settings right from your phone which is great but I do wish there was a way to still access in via your browser on the PC for setting up more advanced settings like port forwarding.
Overall it's a great system and it's price is comparable to the higher end single unit routers.

The upgrade to my internet has so far been a great experience.

I got this open box, so this was a deal and well worth what we paid for it. Setting each of the three mesh routers several distance apart, almost every corner of my parents' 3300 sq ft house exhibits max download speeds. This is specifically in the case of Wi-Fi 6. I conducted speed tests using several devices, and one Wi-Fi 6E-capable device experienced some inconsistent speeds. I would not rely on the 6E coverage/speeds, but most usage with Wi-Fi 6 devices should be seamless

Speed is up from my old Knighthawk single router. Signal strength is great through my whole hose. It's nice to have it managed with the same app as my other smart devices.

Added this system to take advantage of the high speed internet in our area as well as the control functions provided by Google Home. Setup was a breeze. If you purchase, look for the outlet hanger accessories. These allow easy mounting and clean looking installation. 3 units were used and my home has great coverage.

Great product, helped solve the wifi issues around the house and provide coverage across and large 5 bedroom home. Delivered on-time and in good working order!

Incredibly easy to set up and I haven't had any issues since setting up the routers. Internet speeds on various devices have increased and everything has been smooth. I have had previous model Google/Nest wifi routers and each iteration gets better and better and this is no exception.

Purchaced as an upgrade to older Google WiFi Mesh system. The Nest Pro is blazing. Thought I would have had to upgrage from 1 gig backbone (home internet), but this was the upgrade I needed.

While the rating categories for Setup, Range, and Signal Strength are definitely five stars, the name Pro is very misleading. The features you expect access to with a usable UI/UX are just not there. Trying to reserve IP addresses is there, but keeping track of what is going where is nearly impossible. Also, if you have devices that require 2.4ghz, the directions tell you to walk far enough away for the 5ghz to drop off instead of having a software kill switch as a $75 router does. I returned this in a few days because trying to get my smart home on the new routers was too much trouble. The price is decent for range, speed, and setup, but not for it to be a PRO.

I love this product and it gives me 100% through my four story house. I use to have dead spots to the point my tv in the basement and refrig weren’t connecting due to the weak signal. Mesh helped with that. And still runs with high speeds 300 mps

Blows away the XFinity 2nd generation pods. Had three pods that were dropping out constantly since day one. Using the Xfinity as the modem and setting these up as the router and mesh network has given me my sanity back. Highly Recommend!

Not ONE hiccup!! This modem solved all of my Spectrum internet issues, Setup was pretty simple. If you are converting and wish to not inturrupt service at you home, make the username 1 character different. Example, say your username is Mickeymouse. Initially make it Mickeymouse1. Allow the modem to complete the setup in the Google home app, then change it back to Mickeymouse. Everything in your home will start to link to the modem without issue. I also did a speed test and it was OUTSTANDING!! If you do have an off brand extender, it will connect to it without issue as well. GREAT PRODUCT!!.
