It didnt boost my internet it actually lowered my internet speeds

The Google Nest WiFi Pro is the second Wifi 6E router I got to try looking to maximize WiFi speed and coverage in my 3-level home. I connected it to the Gigabit fiber Internet and was able to do the basic setup using the Google Home App 2.60.x on my Android phone. I set it up with the same SSID and passphrase I had on my old router so my 30+ Wi-Fi devices don’t have to be reconfigured. The setup went smoothly through the Home App but if you're like me and prefer manually tweaking the more advanced networking features, it would be nice to still access them via a web browser instead of just a smartphone App, but this is not your typical router plus most vendors are now going the way of the App setup. The ISP provided router was only WiFi 5, so upgrading to WiFi 6E makes a huge difference. For my main tests I used a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra running the latest patch level of Android 12. Normally for testing purposes, I like to test each band separately with its own SSID for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 Ghz respectively, but I could not find a way to do that as it seems the App does not offer that option, instead it bundles them all together and it will decide for you. Moreover if you need to add another unit to the Mesh, it only uses the 6 Ghz band which has the shortest range, so it may have to be installed relatively close within 50ft or less to the main node depending on walls/furniture/other obstructions. I only have the one node version, so Mesh results may vary. Best results were obtained in the same room as the router because WiFi 6E works best the closest you are. I got an impressive 815 Mbps download speed. One floor above and about 20 feet over, the download speed was slashed in less than half coming in at 375 Mbps. I also ran multiple speed tests from Ethernet wired win10 and win11 PCs and got ~ 910 Mbps down. Those were very good results but not the fastest I’ve seen compared to all other routers I’ve tested in recent months. From a security perspective, it supports WPA 3, and comes with a number of security and parental control features that allow you to group devices and pause or schedule Wi-Fi service or block explicit content. You can also very easily set up a guest WiFi network, so you don’t have to share your WiFi passphrase with visitors. There are a few missing features that may not matter to everyone, but other routers in this price range certainly offer. For example, there is no USB 3.0 port that you could use to share files from an external USB hard drive or thumb drive to other devices on your home network and even over the Internet with the correct network security settings (use/pay for Google Drive instead?) Also, there is only one LAN Ethernet port, so if you have more than one wired device, you’ll have to add a network switch. Moreover the WAN port is only 1 Gbps, so not future proof for those multi-gigabit ISP connections. In conclusion, this Google Nest WiFi Pro router is a well performing and aesthetically smooth device about the height of a soda can and it comes in 4 different colors. It is very easy to set up using the smartphone Home App and suitable for streaming, video conferencing and all other general Internet use. Coverage can also be expanded with the built-in Mesh technology.

Very unreliable. Drops the connection multiple times a day.

Spent a few hours setting up in different locations. I was only getting 200m down with a gig fiber internet connection. Just get a nice router or ap

If you want to try this mesh network , buy it somewhere besides Best Buy , so you will have over 15 days to return it if doesn’t work out for you.

Doesn't live up to it's hype. Had many performance issues and barely could handle my 10 devices. I had to rollback to my Google Nest AC 2200, which works great.

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.

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.

Provides reliable and extremely fast wi fi. It’s a must have if you work from home.

Still can't get wifi past the room it's in.what more do u want me to say? Its mediocre

Google, your products keeps cutting in and out. I wish I didn’t spend $300 on your wifi. Your camera system isn’t that great either. Should’ve got Ring.

Great connection and works well throughout the hosie with no issues at all

Wifi keeps dropping several times throughout the day. After some research, found that this is a common problem.

Needed a Wi-Fi upgrade to my home system.. This fit the bill perfectly!

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.

Although my second Wi-fi router is not far from my main router, it continues to have a weak signal and disconnects frequently.

I live in a old 1000 Square ft apartment and this is overkill

Doesn't work the way you explained it and wasn't as easy either. We are still trying to fix all our glitches.

Works super good for a router! Have connection everywhere

Easy to use and is much better than the optimum router.
