Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had bought the original Google Wifi 3-pack, and then upgraded the router only to Google Nest, keeping the original 3 points as extensions. This new 2-packs brings about the same coverage with astonishing connection speed and reliability. This also allows to speed up latest generation devices that were doing ok before.

I get mesh WIFI all around the house if I’m getting 500mbs at the base I’m getting 500mbs anywhere around

Super pleased with these! Recently upgraded our internet speed amd we kept getting drops in connection. We bought tyese and we haven't experienced a single drop since! We placed them throughout the firsr level of our two story home and the connection upstairs is fabulous as well. They were very easy to set up.

I'm not too sure the price meets the specs. Because they use 6E as a back channel I question if this will be usable in the future. Also, I've never seen a device that has the wired connection slower than it's wifi capability. However, I've purchased most of mine with open box sale and they work quite well giving connectivity. The Internet were I live is very limited and be very careful not to bottleneck your super faster (250 and up) connections.

This router is a perfect set it and forget it router. The connection is crazy fast and the range is great. The only knock is that you only have one additional Ethernet port for a hard wire connection.

Great wifi system that uses wifi 6 and allows for a more spread out connection. Mesh is just a much more functional wifi system at this time, allowing the secondary router to reduce traffic on the primary router.

These two are exactly what my home needed. No more buffering of television while streaming, and our internet speed is extremely fast. I have one upstairs and one downstairs.

This is a very good network mesh for a house above 3500 sqft but will be overkill for anything below 2000 sqft.

I always had connection issues with my WiFi in my guest bedroom. With this I now get great connection throughout my house. Also getting over 700mbps download speed

I sometimes experience disconnections still. But, it often reconnects.

Everything you expect from google! Takes care of business! Works as described.

Google Nest is very very good! One of the best setups!

Easy setup and now able to get full WiFi signal on all 3 floors in my house!

The setup was easy and the system options were exactly what I was looking for. The app has even worked very well. It was a great upgrade from my previous dated mesh system.

Excellent system for the money. It works well and is easy to set up. It isn’t a true quad band, but for my purposes, it works fantastic.

Good upgrade from old generation google hub, replaced my 5 old one with 3 new one

Got the 3 pack for my house added 1 more for my shop great WiFi

Google’s new Nest Wi-Fi Pro system arrived at just the right time, as I just purchased a new iPad and gaming laptop that are both Wi-Fi 6E compatible. I’ve tried a few different mesh systems over the past few years, but this is my first Google Wi-Fi system and my first one with Wi-Fi 6E compatibility. The Nest Wi-Fi Pro is simple to set up and easy to use, but performance is mediocre at best and it lacks certain feature and settings that would make it an actual “Pro” device. === SETUP === - Setup is about as simple as it gets, especially when setting up a single node like this particular configuration. Just take the unit out of the box, open the Google Home app, and scan the QR code on the bottom of the device. One issue I had is that the Google Home app does not work with the new cameras on my iPhone 14 Pro, so I was unable to scan the QR code and had to manually type in the code. - Once the router is recognized by the Home app, all you have to do is choose a Wi-Fi network name and password and then wait a few minutes for setup to complete. That’s pretty much it. - I wish more advanced options were offered during the setup flow, such as the ability to enable IPv6 and WPA3. These are disabled by default and never alluded to during setup. === PERFORMANCE === - Bottom line up front: performance is fine for the majority of average home users, but the router failed to saturate my 1 Gbps fiber connection in every test that I ran. - I tested the Nest Wi-Fi Pro in my 1,000 square-foot apartment. The router is centrally located in my apartment and it covers my entire space without issue. I see full bars of Wi-Fi everywhere in my apartment. Those with larger homes will likely need at least one more Nest Wi-Fi Pro node. Unfortunately, this new model is not backwards compatible with older Nest or Google Wi-Fi systems, so you existing users looking to upgrade can’t just purchase one node at a time. - The biggest issue is that there is almost zero customization offered for Wi-Fi configuration. Most importantly, you can’t separate the three bands (2.4, 5.0, and 6.0 GHz) into separate SSIDs, so the Nest Wi-Fi router will dictate which band your devices connect to. So even if you have a Wi-Fi 6E device, there’s no guarantee that it will reliably connect to the 6 GHz band. Too often, the router sends devices to the old, slow 2.4 GHz band. This was quite frustrating when trying to test speeds on my new iPad Pro with Wi-Fi 6E. It took about 5 restarts of the iPad before the Nest Wi-Fi router finally decided to let it connect to the 6 GHz band. - All of the speed tests I ran show perfectly acceptable Wi-Fi performance, especially on 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E). My iPad Pro reached peak speeds of nearly 800 Mbps upload and download while on the 6 GHz band. Over 5 GHz, most of my devices peak around 500-600 Mbps. These tests were done while sitting about 10 feet from the router. Once you lose a direct line of sight to the router, speeds fall off pretty quickly, especially on 6 GHz. - After a week of use, I can safely say that the Nest Wi-Fi Pro is very reliable. I have not seen any dropped connections, disconnects, or downtime. Speeds are perfectly fine, but the fact that most of my devices frequently connect to the slow 2.4 GHz band means that I can rarely saturate my 1 Gbps connection. === FEATURES AND MANAGEMENT === - The entire system is managed via the Google Home app. There is no web interface to control anything from a computer or web browser. The Google Home app is fine, but if you have multiple smart home devices that rely on this app, I feel it can get a bit overwhelming. - The app lets you see which devices are connected to your network and what bands they are on, see how much data they are using, run speed tests, set up a guest network, and set up parental controls via “Family Wi-Fi.” - There aren't too many advanced networking settings offered with the Nest Wi-Fi Pro, so I’m left wondering why Google is pushing the term “Pro” with this system. If you're a power user who needs to fine tune every last detail of your network, you might be left wanting more. As I mentioned, you can’t create separate SSIDs, nor can you choose the specific channels on which those bands operate. You get some port forwarding and IP reservation features, and that’s about it. === OTHER THOUGHTS === - The WAN port only supports speeds up to 1 Gbps, so if you have a multi-gig internet connection, you should probably look at other options. - There is only one ethernet port to connect a desktop computer, home security system, or other device that you would prefer to have hard-wired. If you want more ports, you'll have to connect an Ethernet switch. - No USB ports for those who would like to create a network storage solution. === OVERALL === The Nest Wi-Fi Pro system is simple, reliable, and easy to use. The problem is that’s it’s almost TOO simple, and it hardly earns the term “Pro” in its name. Don’t get me wrong - this is a great option for average home users. But don’t buy it expecting it to breathe new life into your shiny new Wi-Fi 6E devices — odds are that they will rarely connect via the 6 GHz band anyways. There are very few advanced options and I have yet to be able to fully utilize my 1 Gbps connection with this router. On the plus side, speeds are perfectly fine for the average user and the router is very reliable with good coverage. Real “Pro” users should probably keep their options open.

Best WiFi on the market and longest range I’ve ever seen

Spreads the WiFi over an exceptional area and still keeps its speed. Good quality and future proof mesh.
