I had an older Netgear Nighthawk from my old apartment. While that worked, I was only getting about 400 in one room and 100 upstairs. Decided to run this setup wired, since I was already running cable upstairs. I dropped a point in the front of house, and one upstairs and it's amazing. I'm about 800 upstairs and in front and 900 where the main is setup.
If you can wire them directly or in my case using a couple of unmanaged switches at the main and at the end you'll be very happy. I wire devices that aren't portable, like TVs and desktops, and keep the wireless for things like phones, tablets, and smart home devices.
Definitely happy with purchase, and would recommend, unless you require advanced settings. The only problem that I had was the single SSID, since some devices really couldn't connect since they are a bit older and I ended up just using the old modem and using the 2.4 band off that.

Worked perfectly to add as a point. Now my speeds are really great throughout the house. Easy setup and seamless integration with devices on older Wi-Fi.

The Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E is a fast, reliable mesh Wi-Fi system with excellent coverage and simple setup through the Google Home app. It supports Wi-Fi 6E and integrates seamlessly with smart home devices via Thread and Matter. While it has limited Ethernet ports and fewer advanced settings, it’s perfect for anyone wanting a straightforward, dependable Wi-Fi system for medium to large homes.

I added this fourth unit to a three-unit set that replaced an older, slower Google Mesh system. The per cost of an incremental unit is very high, but my modest 2200 square foot house (which theoretically should require only one unit, not four) apparently presents some challenges, and my fancy new 4K OLED Samsung TV was stuttering frequently. This unit seems to have mitigated the problem, and the SpeedTest numbers are good. Setup is fairly easy but not intuitive, and the small, faint QR code is almost impossible to scan.

Very easy to set up and provided coverage all through the house at speeds of no lower than 400 Mb/s. It literally took me 15 minutes for all three stations.

These were very easy to install and provided coverage to my entire home. Improved some latency issues I had with prior network extender. Was recommended by my IT department and happy with the purchase!
Hey there, Indoree. Happy to hear you had an easy time setting up your Nest Wifi Pro and its range is good for you. That said, we hear you on wanting to connect a CAT5 cable to it. The Nest Wifi Pro includes an Ethernet port and for optimal performance, we advise using at least a CAT5e-rated Ethernet cable for the connection. Here’s a link with more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7215624?hl=en

The units were a bit heavier than they look but not too bad. It was an easy basic setup. I have a 3 level home including basement. I placed 1 on the top floor and 1 in the middle section and the speeds are consistant on every level of my home. All of the outdoor cameras have no issues connecting to the wifi and the video quality was a bit better as well. My only issue was the 2nd unit, not connected to the modem, went out 2 seperate times needimg a restart. Since then it hasnt done it again. Maybe the crash report sent the issue to google and fixed with an update. I'll never know. I would buy again but get on sale if possible.

So 6 months ago I bought a new expensive supposedly top of the line wireless router because I was tired of renting one from the cable company and ever since setting up this new router I’ve had nothing but connectivity issues. Half the time my google homes would not connect, my cameras wouldn’t work, or my smart lights wouldn’t come on. It was very annoying. Purchased these and placed them around my house and everything has been working seamlessly wish I did it sooner. Set up was super easy even my technological challenged mom could do it! Just get them!

The set up is a little tedious but once done it’s worth it, it works great. My house is 3500 ft.² but it’s long it’s not stacked on top of each other and concrete walls so I purchased this and it made a huge difference, I run about 63 to 72 devices at a time, the mesh handles it with no problems.

Product work as expected. However, there are some drops in connection here and there. Not as much as it used to, which tells me they still need some system update to fix all the issues. But signal and speed, you cant go wrong with this product.

After previous router extender purchases that were difficult to set up with minor improvement, Google made these easy, and my pair found each other even at opposite ends of the house. Perhaps my situation worked because I have wired ethernet from my router to each of these, which as a pair, provide a new wifi mesh address, stronger signal than my router. I didn't have to readdress any of my current wifi devices, but now my phone gets wifi at a larger range. As long as the little white light is steady on the front, they are working fine. However a couple of times I find a flashing light, which means a disconnect, but a power unplug/replug resets it. Overall very pleased, I only wish these were available in black.

Just watch for sales. Setup was rather straight forward. I read conflicting info about what few QoS rules and network shaping is available and experienced dismal, unusable performance while using the sole ethernet port. A lengthy support call with google and all seems well. I occasionally have terrible signal strength on Wi-Fi when > 20 steps away and around a corner from the device. Downstairs it has gone from 1/5 signal strength to a slight interruption and suddenly 5/5 strength. Still overall pretty satisfied with it.

Had to return the product just because I did not like the UI of it. No advance features but the speeds were great and very minimal configuration required

Very easy setup, fast speeds. Would recommend. Only negative so far is the single Ethernet port on the router and points.

I love the ease of use of Google Wifi. I'm happy with the speeds these can provide on WiFi 6 and device management is very easy in the home app. My only issue is with the strength of the mesh system. I occasionally have low mesh strength but my devices are only ~35 feet away on a single story. This is within the 2-3 rooms away recommend but I don't buy that this would cover a 2200 sqft 2 story home.
Hey there, Jonah. Thank you for choosing Nest Wifi Pro. We're delighted to hear that you're having an awesome time when it comes to managing the devices using the Google Home app. Your feedback on the signal strength is appreciated and we would like to help improve on that. Congestion issues may be affected by various factors, including Wi-Fi interference and physical barriers, which can limit the range of your internet. We recommend placing your device within a line of sight to improve signal reception. For example, if the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, it's advisable not to place a mesh router in that exact spot. Instead, position it halfway in that direction. Placing it in an elevated position, such as on a shelf, can also help. For more detailed information, please refer to this help guide: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840

Great system! Purchased to replace an older Eero system and these work great. Covers our 2,500 sq ft house with ease. I will say these do better when each beacon has its own dedicated Ethernet connection, but they still work great if you just plug straight into your modem.
We have 1Gbps up and down and this system lets me download or upload anything at full speed anywhere in my house.
