Great connection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a total of 5 of these great connection. Also having ethernet ports on the hubs is handy i know some of the Eero ones removed the ethernet ports. Having them back is great.

Posted .Hi there, Gabe. Thank you for sharing your concern about Nest Wifi Pro. We're sorry to learn that you're having some consistency issues with the internet speed when using the device. This is not the experience we want you to have. 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
Need to reboot daily!

Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased 2 weeks ago and had to resent entire network on the Home App once a day because the speed kept dropping. It wasn't our internet, because I only reset the Nest devices. Sending back today and purchasing an eero.

Posted .Hello there, RobertB. It’s unfortunate to hear of your issue with the performance of your Nest Wifi Pro. We understand your decision to return the devices due to your experience. But if you’re willing to try, it may be helpful to check the placement of the camera as connectivity and performance can be affected by range issues or wireless interference. Although the device can sometimes pass the connection test, it will struggle to stay connected if it's too far away from your router or if your connection is spotty. We also recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested, which happens 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. Removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion. You may need to extend your Wi-Fi network’s range using boosters or additional Wi-Fi access points if your camera is located too far from your Wi-Fi router.

Not what I expected Google:
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was expecting more from a Google product. This unit constantly is having latency issues with micro drops outs. This means that video calls with work drop mid call, it means that online cloud services seem to connect but they don t. It will be going back to the store.

Posted .Hi ErickP, thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. We're sorry to hear about the latency issues you are experiencing with Nest Wifi Pro.
If you're willing to try, we recommend checking if your Nest Wifi Pro has the latest firmware version by simply going to the Google Home app and following the steps below:
- Open the Google Home app.
- Touch and hold your Nest Wifi Pro device's tile.
- Tap Settings > and then Device information.
- Under ""Technical information,"" check for the firmware version.
- The firmware version should be 1.63.324946 or higher.
Your device should automatically download the update via an Over-the-Air (OTA) update. However, if the firmware version is older or has a lower version than the one above, we recommend removing some of the connected devices in your network to free up some bandwidth space. Your Nest Wifi Pro should be updated after sometime. For additional help needed with your Nest Wifi Pro, our support team would be happy to help you further here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Google Nest Support
Posted .Hey there, BenW. We hear your concern on not getting a more consistent connection. We’d be happy to provide some solutions to make sure your device is performing optimally:
1. Your device is far from your Wifi router — Often, moving your device closer to your router or point will result in improved speeds.
2. Building materials and other objects may slow your connection — If possible, try to use your device within a clear line of sight to your router or point.
3. Some devices do not support the faster Wi-Fi standards — Speed is dependent on both the router or point and the device that is connected to it. If you have an older device, it’s likely it won’t support the latest standards for the fastest speeds.

Stinks
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better performance BY FAR from the previous generation Nest Wifi. I have 1Gbps up and down fiber internet and can barely get 300Mbps while standing next to the router. Router runs twice as hot as the prior version. Surface temperature over 130 degrees F. The firmware update touted by Google which would “fix” the issues, did absolutely nothing in my case. Since that update….crickets. I cant believe they are still selling these. I went back to the previous Nest WiFi mesh hardware.

Stylish, general purpose Wi-Fi 6E Mesh router
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
Brand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi there SUHD, thanks for sharing a detailed review on the Nest Wifi Pro. We appreciate you taking the time to inform us on the features that we can improve on.
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.
Also, your insight on how the Nest Wifi Pro manages the frequency band is correct. Google Nest Wifi and Google Wifi devices keep it simple by automatically directing your devices to use the band that gives them the best Wi-Fi. All radio bands are active simultaneously. Based on the device capabilities and network conditions, Nest Wifi and Google Wifi attempt to select the band that will deliver the best performance for your device. We realized that a lot of our customers have a hard time managing the features of their Wi-Fi mesh system, and Nest Wifi Pro and all our Wifi mesh devices perform the hard work for you. However, we value your feedback and we'll take them into consideration with future features and iterations of our Nest Wifi devices.
For any other support needs you may be having with Nest Wifi Pro, we recommend contacting our support team so we can assist you. Please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
