Purchased over a month ago and I'm extremely pleased. Upgraded from an older Google mesh system. From the Google home app. I deleted the old mesh system then started from scratch. I added the first router in the office and after setup Google added everything from the old system. within 5 minutes the hole house was setup. Security cameras, smart switches, smart bulbs and plugs. Next I added the 2nd router in the living room and setup this router, then repeated the same thing in our garage. Living in a brick home getting a signal in the garage at the opposite end of the house was almost impossible. Now my garage door openers are getting 99% signal and both Driveway and Patio cameras are getting a great signal now along with the video doorbell. It's great to open my SimpliSafe app. and having my 6 cameras all up and running fast without a glitch. I have the office, living room hard wired and the garage is Wi-Fi. Running speed tests, I'm getting an average 580 Mbps! I have Spectrum and signed up for 500Mbps and it's been rock solid. I'm even using Wi-Fi and I'm getting well over 430 Mbps. Now I can really setup a smart home! Picked this 3-pack at BestBuy on sale for $349.00.

I've used Google Nest products for a while, and I really like the new Google Nest Wifi Pro 6e. It's much faster and doesn't lose connection like the older model.
Pros:
The Nest Wifi Pro 6e is super fast, so playing games and watching videos online is great.
It doesn't lose connection as often as the old one.
It works better when you have lots of devices using the internet at the same time.
Cons:
The Nest Wifi Pro 6e costs more than the old model, which might be too much for some people.
If you have a small home or not many devices, you might not need the new one. The old one could work just fine.
Even with these small issues, I think the Google Nest Wifi Pro 6e is worth it for anyone who wants a good internet connection at home. I give it 5 stars because it's made my internet so much better.
Hi there, SanS. We’re glad that you like the performance of the Nest Wifi Pro. We hear your concerns about its price, and its purpose.
Nest Wifi Pro is designed to provide a smarter, and simpler Wi-Fi experience that you can rely on, with the speed, coverage, and capacity you need to keep your devices connected. Although some users may find the previous versions fit for their needs, the Nest Wifi Pro is a tri-band mesh Wi-Fi system that utilizes 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, new 6 GHz wireless radios to allow more data to flow through your router and deliver faster device speeds, while earlier generation products such as Nest Wifi and Google Wifi use only the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands for mesh connections. Also, with Nest Wi-Fi Pro’s smart antenna technology, network coverage is stronger and more consistent as it constantly works in the background. Nest Wifi Pro manages activities and network performance to minimize issues and keep everything smooth as it automatically selects the fastest band to use and switches to clearer Wi-Fi channels when the current network is congested.

Set up went pretty smooth and these definitely improved our speed and reliability over the previous generation. I do like that it runs a speed test and provides the stats its own. The speeds are likely well below the actual capability due to our internet plan and provider.

The Google-Nest WiFi Pro 6e AXE5400 Mesh Router is a very good performer in our 2-level, 4,300 sf home and has a modern look. When combined with my network switch/router, I was able to easily network the 8 WiFi Pro 6e AXE5400 Mesh Routers wirelessly. Although it took awhile to find the right amount of these routers and placement in our home to make the mesh dependable and stout, I eventually got it right. Easy to activate and install.

Different but i like them. A tech for samsung or apple actually recommended these to me. They have a modern design that fits in with any room. Easy to set up (as long as you call your service provider haha). And the mesh network that it creates is really unbeatable for the price. Highly recommend! I will say 2 things. It's bigger than it looks. Still small though and the light indicator can be an issue if placed in your bedroom.
Simple, Easy Diagnostics, and Pretty Great Coverag

It's really easy to setup. Has a really good area of coverage, depending on any potential obstructions of course. I can get WiFi about 80ft plus as long as you are at the same elevation or below. Vertically there are some limits for connecting to devices and meshing between routers. I like it and will probably buy another so I can get a strong connection to my upstairs office.

I purchased these to help with Wifi coverage issues we were experiencing in our home and to support the growing number of smart devices we have. I went back and forth between this model and the older Nest Wifi model (which was significantly cheaper). I ultimately decided on these as they support Matter and the newer Wifi standard (WiFi 6/6e), which should hopefully carry me through the next few years.
I've only had them set up for a few days now, but I'm happy to report they're working as intended! Setup was super easy (it was up and running in 10 minutes), and the coverage and speeds we are getting are significantly better than before. They're also stylish little things, and while they don't exactly blend into their enviornment, they're much less of an eye sore than some of the other options on the market.
5/5, I definitely recommend this product.

We were having some connectivity issues, mostly on my brothers PC, who's room happens to be on the other side of thr house. After I bought and connected it to our router, the connection got better and hasnt had any isssues since. Its easy to setup through the google home app and it even lets you you check on how strong the signal is through the app.

I wanted to upgrade my apartment network to Wi-Fi 6E for faster and more reliable wireless connectivity. My old router had Wi-Fi 5, but it was not performing well and I suspected it was either damaged or interfered by other devices.
Google Nest WiFi pro is an excellent solution for me! Primary protection is done by router, so what you can set in Nest WiFi will be sufficient for most of the users.
Setup is amazingly simple; you only need Google Home application installed on your smartphone. All configurations will be done using home app and device will become a part of your Google Home network, if you have one already.
The Nest WiFi pro also looks sleek and modern, so I don't have to hide it behind furniture or cables!

Easy to install and integrates flawlessly with all my nest/google products. This was much easier to install the my previous Orbi Mesh system. This also connected a downstairs room off the garage that is partially enclosed with concrete for the first time. The Orbi system would not cover that area even with one of the mesh routers in the room. So I’m very happy with this set of 3 by Google.
I would recommend this to a friend

I had a combo Arris router and modem and have had a lot of troubles with it constantly rebooting. So, at the advice of a Best Buy rep named Ben, I went to Spectrum and got a modem (for free) and then got a meshed network. It was sooo simple to set up and for some reason, my Internet speeds went from 50-70 Mbps to 200-300 Mbps. It also evenly covers my house with two nodes.

This was an update to my Google 5g Wi-Fi mesh router. I'm no techie, but the setup was easy, with a couple of hiccups I made. I could not figure out why the app showed Wi-Fi instead of a wired connection. Easy fixes: I found my ethernet cable from the router was not connected to my switch, and I misspelled the network password. Everything is running smoothly, and the speed (904 down & 19 up) is great. The router is connected to my Netgear CM2050v modem. I got a Google 3-pack for $250 with a 15% discount with BB router recycle service.

While there was a slight hiccup with the price, overall the mesh system has been wonderful. I mostly needed it for gaming and it does the trick. The only issue so far and the other part of why I gave it a 4/5 is the mesh router in my other room will randomly get really hot and slow down speeds to my devices. Its been a simple fix to just power cycle but its becoming worrisome hopefully it just needs a software patch.

After looking at several different routers and mesh systems I decided on the new Nest Pro system. I read many reviews and "expert" write ups on them. What ultimately left to this decision was most things in my home are Google Nest devices and if I didn't like them I would've brought them back and exchanged for another set that I had chosen.
Let me say this was the EASIEST wifi/router setup I've ever had. Setting up the other 2 mesh antennas was almost brainless. To the reviews on here saying they had problems with installation, it wasn't the equipment.....
I thought I wasn't going to like the interface since it was migrated to Google home but it makes the integration of all my devices seamless. I can see each device. Easily pause any individually. Set schedules for the kids. Check on exact antenna to see how it's performing and the connection strength. It's great!
If you're looking for easy setup and fast connections, this is for you.

After my aging Google Wi-Fi mesh system started having inconsistent speeds and signal strength started looking into a replacement. The Nest Wi-Fi did not interest me being there is no Ethernet ports on each additional unit unlike the original and the pro. Setup was a breeze just like the other Google/Nest Wi-Fi systems. Speeds around the house are consistent with the speeds I am purchasing from my isp. Coverage is great through the house and outside ~3000 sq ft home.
