      Hi there, Nave. We appreciate your review of Nest Wifi Pro. It's unfortunate to learn that your experience using your device was less than ideal. The Google Nest Pro is designed to handle internet speeds of up to 1 gigabits per second (Gbps) and 2.2Gbps, combined. However, it's possible that your internet speed exceeds this limit, which could explain why you're not getting the performance you expected. Actual speeds depend on your Internet service provider, network conditions, connected devices, local regulations and environmental factors. We want to know your concern. Please contact our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I might have gotten a defective unit but it doesnt work. When i connect ethernet ports to all unites they keep showing orange lights. It keeps crashing. The setup is unclear. The app is unclear. Over all the previous version was a lot better than this.

    Connection is great, speeds however are not. This consistently scores lower speeds than almost any other wi-fi 6e product. This is a simple Google search to verify my claims. If they can fix the speeds on this thing, that will improve my rating. I have a gigabit connection and I never see speeds even averaging 300mbs.

      Hello MichaelO, thanks for sharing a review about the Nest Wifi Pro, and we appreciate that you find its connection working well. But it isn't easy to hear that your experience with the Wi-Fi speed is below your expectations.

      We suggest checking the placements of your Wi-Fi router and point, which are vital to have reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other, where they can see each other with a clear line of sight. Barriers like heavy furniture and walls made of thick concrete or brick can affect Wi-Fi performance. You can also try the following steps that may help:
      - Move the connected device closer to your Wifi router or point.
      - Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf.
      - Repositioning the points to avoid obstructions like walls, doors, and aquariums can improve performance.
      - Make sure all unused devices are off and not draining bandwidth with large downloads.
      - Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerators or other equipment.
      - Run a mesh test to confirm placement of your Wifi points.

      For additional services and support, don't hesitate to contact us through our support channels here and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Worst google product! My entire eco system are google products (e.g., displays, chromecast, protect, etc.). DO NOT buy this product. After almost two years of trying to get it to work it still doesn't!! Google suggested I upgrade to gigabit internet, which I did and still nothing. Devices constantly drop and speeds are so slow.... Devices connected to ethernet via my switch work fine, but anything on wifi is terrible.

    Pretty decent product. However, they do not cover the actual area they say they do, and if you have walls, like all houses, this almost pushes them to a need for every room type of ordeal. Would have returned if I noticed best buys crappy return policy was so short.

      Hi, illmindofTwizZz! Thanks for sharing your experience with the Nest Wifi Pro. You can add multiple Wifi points depending on your needs. Ideally, one Nest Wifi Pro can cover up to 2,200 sqft. But where they are placed, the layout of your house, and physical obstructions like furniture can impact the total coverage. For an estimate of how much Wi-Fi coverage you’ll get with the Nest Wifi Pro and a guide to how many Wifi points you need check here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840

      We also suggest checking this link for more info on where to place your Wifi devices for maximum signal strength: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7183150

    Google Nest WiFi Pro Speeds It Up

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Google Nest Pro is a 6Ge tri-band mesh router. You get 2.4g, 5G and 6G bands and it covers 2200 square feet of space. You really don’t need any other router for your home. If you find dead spots, you need to know that this does NOT work with previous versions of Google Wifi or Nest Wifi. This router comes with a power adapter and Ethernet cable. It is very stylish and it does not look like your average router with all the antennas. It has a sleek modern design that blends in just about anywhere. This comes in four colors, but I find the Snow (white) works best for me making it blend in with its surroundings. If you have numerous devices that you want to plug this into, you will be disappointed. It has only 2 Ethernet ports and one of those is for hooking up to your modem. You will need an Ethernet splitter. Setup for this device is simple enough. You need to plug it into your modem and into an outlet. Next you will need the Google Home app and follow the on-screen steps to get this working. Internet speeds with this 6G router are great in comparison to the 5G router this is replacing. I had 300 mps Internet service and could not get above 201 mps with my old router. This router gives me well over 270 mps when doing a speed test. I have found that, when using multiple devices, streaming works much better than the old 5G did. For the price and ease of setup this is a great home router, especially for those looking to upgrade to Wifi 6e, and it doesn’t really look like it is a router sitting on my TV console. The upgrade from 5G to 6G is unbelievable…you can see a definite difference in the speed.

    Disappointed Google Home user -buy a Eero instead

    I was so excited about getting the new Nest Wi-Fi Pro. I've used Google home products for several years and I couldn't wait to add this to my home setup. Sadly it was a huge disappointment. I went from having wired connections over 900Mb downloads on an older Orbi router to 220Mb (Speed test done via Fast.com and from the router built in Speed test. All test were done by a wired connection). I reported the issue and saw that Google was releasing a software update to address speed issue. However, the software update didn't help. I factory reset the device and still no change in performance. I went back to Bestbuy and exchange the Nest Pro (2Pack) for an Eero Pro 6e (2pack). I'm back to 900+ speeds and the Eero has a 2.5 Gb Ethernet port. Google really missed on this product for me. I really wish I had a different opinion but I highly recommend buying the Eero over the Nest.

    Bought these because I used to have the original Google Wi-Fi pucks a few years ago and they worked great. These, I hooked up and from minute one was not getting the speed that I was supposed to be from my service provider (Comcast). I tried updating firmware, direct connect via ethernet, different configuration of router and access point, nothing fixed the abysmal speeds. I pay for Gigabit speeds and was getting max of 80Mbps wired, and maybe 400Mbps Wi-Fi.
