I'm fully invested in google products at home from cameras, to mobile devices, to TV's and everything works much easier so when it was time to upgrade my wifi router I stuck with the new model. The speeds slightly increased but I will need to purchase a second one. Easy to set up and once it's up and running you will pretty much forget you have it.

When schools closed and went to distance learning, we had to quickly get things together. While our internet was never really a problem before, it was clear with the amount of usage sure to everyone working from home an upgrade was needed. The nest system was recommended and I'm so glad we went with it. We purchased it with another point and our coverage is way better than before. The biggest buddy was the update Google sent out that enabled the router to make the internet more efficient. My wife's zoom calls went from dropping and freezing to working without a problem. My only regret is that I hadn't done this sooner before the quarantine. Great product.

So far this works just as well as my previous Google Wifi, which is to say it hasn't had any issues. It's super simple to set up. I guess I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't seem to perform much better than the Google Wifi I'm replacing (in real-world tests), but it still works great and I'd highly recommend it.

We connected the router to our ISP's connection, downloaded the app and scanned the code on the bottom of the router. So easy and works great. We get a clear, 5-bar connection from anywhere in our 1,800 sq ft home with speeds of 250 Mbps upload/download. Our ISP is 1G which is way faster than our computers are capable of handling.

Wow, I've tried 4 different routers this year because the other ones I've had seem to stop working as well over time. Zero problems with this router so far! I do have one corner in my home where the signal is trying to connect to the 5ghz band and it doesn't work well there. It works perfect when connected to the 2.4 band

Probably one of the best routers you can purchase. I bought this for my 1200 square foot home. From the edge of its coverage this router sped my internet speeds up by 128.65 MBS JUST OVER WIRELESS ON THE EDGE OF MY PROPERTY. This router is a great bang for your buck with great performance.

I had to replace my old AirPort system due to constant malfunctions and landed on the Nest AC2200. I would have given this 5 stars if not for the steep price.
Once we put it into use, it has been nothing but a gem, and the stylish design fits right in to our place. The signal strength is great no matter where we are in about 1800 square feet of living space and even out into our hallway.

Basic Router

This is a great router for small homes. It's relatively inexpensive, simple to set up, and looks good. I give it 3 stars because it isn't sufficient for advanced users or medium to large homes.
The app provides very basic info, there's no Wi-Fi 6, it lacks USB-C power, and has only two ethernet ports. Also, you can only connect it to additional access points wirelessly. If you want the added speed and reliability of a wired backhaul, you have to buy another Google Nest router.
I upgraded to the more expensive Eero Pro 6 and it's noticeably faster, though somewhat harder to set up than the Nest. If you are happy with a basic router and don't plan on setting up a mesh network, this is OK due to the quality at the price level. But if you are willing to spend a little more to future-proof your network, give this one a pass.

Listen, if you don't want to mess around with router settings and just want something to just work. Get this. I assure you that you'll love it. The device actually looks good enough to place on a countertop and not due to its minimalistic form factor. The only issue with this router is that there's only one Ethernet port. If your home is strictly wifi only then this won't be an issue.

Nest Wifi is great - used to cover my house with no issues - 2 on main floor and one in basement. Works, and Works, and Works! Same sign in for entire network. Point connector doubles as speaker and a very good one. Easy for anyone to set up and use. When I needed customer support Nest/Google is there

Before installing this router, I bought two other routers within a week and both of the other two stopped connecting to Spectrum so I returned them. This router was easy to setup and I haven’t had any connection loss with this one. Coverage throughout the house is good, even in the basement without the Point.

Fantastic! Easy to setup and improved strength. This was an upgrade from my Google wifi router. I needed better strength for outside cameras and this did the job.
Highly recommend! Switched between 2.4 and 5 MHz automatically. Also improved download and upload speeds.

I'm using 3 routers instead of additional points to get backhaul via ethernet and it's working really well. Good coverage and speed at all endpoints! It's great to be able to get speed measurements for each wireless device when using the Google Wifi app, too.

Got this to replace a Google wifi that wasn't keeping up with our wireless devices. the range is great and set up was easy once I realized that I need to so it through the Google home app and not the Google wifi app. At times It slows my devices down but I'm guessing an update might fix it. however for the cost its a good value.

This is a really excellent router and I feel like it’s an upgrade (affording faster speeds) over the previous model. No wifi 6 (but that’s a really minor gripe). I would say I am happy with it (and the ease of use with the app).

Purchased the Google Nest WiFi to replace the old Google WiFi.
I believe it has increased range, and it is compatible with the Google WiFi. Was easy to set up and all my devices "found" or the Google Nest WiFi "found" all my devices; so it was seamless setup.

I bought this product to help with my internet speeds on the 2nd floor of my home. The primary unit (setup as a router) is on the first floor and the other (setup as access point) in my office. Utilizing the Google Home app on my iOS device, the setup was a breeze and walks you through the whole process - overall, took ~20min to setup both. Compared to my original single router setup, the mesh setup definitely showed an overall improvement in both download/upload speeds. The Google Home app with this unit does also provide a handful of great features as well such as measuring internet speed, parental control, setting timeout of specific devices (primarily for limiting internet time for kids), and a list of connected devices - all at the palm of your hands! Overall, very happy with the product and the integration it has with the Google Home app.
