Tricks you into believing they are good.....
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially, the unit seemed great. I saw great speeds throughout the house. However, after about a day or less of the units running I started seeing major slow down issues. The units will seemingly at random drop to very slow speeds. Dropping to less than 10Mbit while sitting in the exact same location. The issue is with these Google units since I can connect to another wifi network that is connected to the exact same internet and will experience 150-200Mbps+ speeds from the exact same location and device. A reboot of the Google units will cause the speeds to return to 200-400Mbps+ but it will be short lived and a day or so later they will experience the exact same problem. It is not a signal strength issue, it is something with however these devices are internally processing their mesh network, it seems to get confused and causes major issues and sluggish performance. Unfortunately, I am outside of my return window otherwise I would return these. Not recommended at all.

Posted .Hi there, LouisJ. Thank you for posting your review on the Nest Wifi Pro. We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some inconsistencies with the speeds you're getting with the device. We recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested, which may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. These few steps can help:
- You can try restarting your router to reset your internet connection.
- If you have a lot of open apps on your phone, they can slow down its overall performance. Try closing some apps.
- If that doesn’t work, you can try restarting your phone or device.
- Other devices in your home may be using a lot of bandwidth. You can temporarily stop a device’s bandwidth use by quitting an app or program, disconnecting it from Wi-Fi or ethernet, or by turning it off.
If you've done these steps before or if the issue still persists, reach out to us at the following Google Help link for further assistance: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent mesh system. Very easy to setup. Speed is consistent. Tip: you'll get the best performance if you use Ethernet to connect your satellite with your main router. The coverage is overall pretty good.

Posted .Hi there, DhanushS. We appreciate your feedback on Nest Wifi Pro. We're sorry to hear that you experienced a network congestion issue.
Congestion issues may be affected by various factors, including Wi-Fi interference and physical barriers, which can limit the range and cause a slower connection to the internet. We recommend placing your Nest Wifi Pro Routers within a line of sight to improve signal reception. As a general rule, mesh routers work best when they're about 2 to 3 rooms apart. 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. Additionally, adding one or more Nest Wifi Pro routers can improve Wi-Fi coverage in your home. For more detailed information, please refer to this help guide: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840

Issues, issues and more issues ...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GEN 2 Google wifi died, just after the 2 year waranty expired, it worked great, so decided to go with Google for the second purchase. Unfortunetly, the Wifi Pro has been a big disapointement. Constant disconnects, signal goes from low to high, buffering, more disconnects, lights and smart devices stop working etc etc, you get the idea. That's why, I am going back to the GEN1+2 routers Both worked great for years. GEN 2 lasted 2 years, if I get the same for the replacement one, I rather go that route.

Great aesthetic and performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from Google Wifi to this and I can already tell a huge difference. All of my google smart home devices are a lot snappier in response time. My download speeds have never been faster. Great product. Get 3 if your place is bigger than 1500 sq ft.

Is it useful? Not sure.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not really sure What this does? If it is a range extender and has to be connected to the router how would i set up the mesh system described if they have to be connected to the router. 2 stars bc unclear on its use, and it constantly needs to be restarted every time a new device is connected

Not as good as previous version
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previous version worked flawlessly so I was anxious to upgrade. This newest version is vastly inferior. I have a 1.2gb plan from Xfinity. Wired speed measurements were never higher than 435mb at the router. I pulled 800+ with the previous Nest WiFi. I returned this setup and purchased the Eero Pro 6E. Much easier to setup, so much faster and more stable.
