Posted .Hi Michael, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi when you're far from the router. To extend your network's range and strengthen the signal, we recommend using an access point.
For more information on how to improve your network's range, please visit: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7183150?hl=en&sjid=11355600692127929833-NC#zippy=%2Cplace-a-new-wifi-router-or-add-on-point
Google Nest WiFi Pro Speeds It Up
|Posted .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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially was great. A couple weeks later only problems. Slow wifi, losing settings, constant mesh problems. Not worth the money or the trouble setting it up. Setup was no joy either.

Posted .Hi JDM001, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear you encountered some problems with your Nest Wifi Pro. Nest Wifi Pro has a combined speed capability of up to 5.4 Gbps. Keep in mind that the combined speeds are total speeds across all bands, and are derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications based on use of Wi-Fi 6 or later generation connected devices that support 160 MHz channels. Actual speeds will depend on your internet service provider, network conditions, connected devices, local regulations and environmental factors.

Posted .Hi there EdwardH, thanks for sharing your insights with us. It's unfortunate to hear about the connectivity issues you're experiencing and we're sorry to hear that both Nest Wifi Pro and our Google Nest cameras fell short of meeting your expectations.
Here are some recommended steps that may be helpful with the connectivity issues you are experiencing:
- Check your cables and connections.
- Restart your modem and Nest Wifi Pro Router.
- Check your configuration. In most cases, you don't need to change your network configurations because Google Nest Wifi devices use DHCP, a common internet connection protocol, by default. However, you might need to adjust the WAN settings in the Google Home app. If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) requires a different protocol than DHCP like PPPoE or uses Static IPs, then you may need to contact them.
- Perform a mesh test to confirm that your devices are working properly. You may visit this link for details on how to run the Mesh Test on your Nest Wifi Pro system: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7620337
- Lastly, perform a factory reset on your Nest Wifi Pro mesh devices. To reset, follow the steps on this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6246619
Your experience with our products is something we always value, and if you still experience the same connectivity issues, or if you need some additional help with your Nest Wifi Pro system, please feel free to reach out to us here: 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.Although my second Wi-fi router is not far from my main router, it continues to have a weak signal and disconnects frequently.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi there, ChristineA. Thanks for letting us know about the issue. We're sorry to hear that you're getting a weak connection between your Nest Wifi Pro Routers. Issues with signal strength between Nest Wifi Pro Routers may be affected by Wi-Fi interference like physical barriers which may cause the limited ranges and frequent disconnections. We recommend placing your Nest Wifi Pro routers within a line of sight of each other to get better signal reception. As a general rule, points and routers work best when they’re about 2 to 3 rooms apart. As an example, if the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it halfway in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position, like on a shelf. You may also add one or more Nest Wifi Points to improve the Wi-Fi coverage for your home. Please check out this help guide for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840

Easy Setup with consistent speeds
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is very easy to setup. You do have to use google home to setup this up, but that wasnt an issue for me since I have other google products that use this app. It took all of 5 minutes to plug it in, connect to my cable modem, and create a wifi name and password. It also looks to be pretty easy to add additional devices to expand coverage. I live in a ranch home that is about 2,000 square feet. My cable modem is on one end in a bedroom. This device is able to cover my whole home, garage and basement without an issue. I'm currently using the mesh network for TVs, computers, and cell phones and had no issues with streaming videos, games, or calls. I do like the design of the wi-fi router as its basic and will blend in with the room. If you have a large home, I recommend looking for additional mesh routers to connect to this one. This will then give a good coverage area throughout your home. If you plan to hard wire your computers and other devices to the router, this may not be for you. There is only one hardwire connection the rest need to be wireless. My computers and TVs are not close enough to hardwire so I just use wifi. The download and upload speeds are consistent with no dropouts. Overall, this is a nice looking easy to setup device.

Posted .Hi there, ChrisA. Thanks for your feedback on Nest Wifi Pro, and we’re sorry for the issues you've experienced with online gaming and Wi-Fi calling. We understand how frustrating it can be when your internet connection isn't performing as expected.
We'd love to help you troubleshoot and improve your experience. Here are some things we can try:
For online game disconnects:
- Visit a speed test website to confirm you meet the recommended requirements for online gaming.
- Identify devices using bandwidth. Use the Home app to see which devices are using the most bandwidth. Optimize by prioritizing your gaming device or temporarily stopping activities like streaming on other devices.
- Run a mesh test to confirm placement of your Wifi points.
For Wi-Fi calling drops:
- Check Wi-Fi signal strength: Move closer to your router or consider a Wi-Fi extender for better coverage.
- Disable VPN or other network interference: Sometimes, VPNs or other network tools can interfere with Wi-Fi calling functionality.
If the issues persist, please don't hesitate to contact our support team directly. Our representatives are available 24/7 to assist you with personalized troubleshooting and address any further concerns you may have here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi there, Moiali13. Thanks for the feedback you provided about the Nest Wifi Pro. We’re sorry to learn of your poor experience with its connectivity.
You may need to restart your modem, even if your modem appears to be working fine, to establish a secure connection to the Wi-Fi router/point as Wi-Fi signal and connectivity will still depend on other factors like interference, multiple devices using both bandwidths on your router and the older Wi-Fi chips on your devices that might not be able to support these speeds. If you're using a modem/router combo, set it in bridge mode and disable its Wi-Fi functionality to avoid double NAT issues.
We also suggest these simple steps that might help:
- Move the connected device closer to your Wifi router or point.
- 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.

Posted .Hi there Zoeswifi, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Wifi Pro. We're sorry to hear that you are unable to connect one of your points. Here are some recommended steps that you can try out:
- Check your cables and connections.
- Perform a sequential reboot. Restart your modem, router and point(s).
- Check your configuration. In most cases, you don't need to change your network configurations because Google Nest Wifi and Google Wifi use DHCP, a common internet connection protocol, by default. You might need to enter a PPPoE account name and password before the modem allows the Nest Wifi router or a primary Wifi point to access the internet. You can do this in the Google Home app's WAN settings.
- Call your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- Factory reset your Wifi devices. Check out this link for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6246619
