We use the google nests for several of our businesses and houses. They work seamlessly, and the app is easy to use to check the status of the devices. They provide good coverage, and if hardwired they work really well.

Significant upgrade from the older generation. I installed two of these in our 4,000-square-foot house spread across the first floor, and they work really well to cover the entire house, including upstairs, basement, and backyard.

Nice bump in reliability of my network. Was able to retire my Asus and TP-Link mesh routers that controlled my smart house and combine with my main network. Very nice access and speed. WiFi-6e does make a difference on my phones and laptops. More options to configure routers, but simplicity of mesh makes easy for novices. Wired ethernet back-haul definitely improved the simultáneous use of lights, locks cameras, Internet browsing, file downloads, and multiple 4K streaming points. Cannot wait to test Matter, the smart home solution.

Bought and installed this in a new home where my garage and the living areas were further away from one another and the Nest Wifi Pro was able to get signal through different floors and walls so we can get updates to our Tesla.
Installation was simple and the mesh network synced up without issue. Have not experience any drop outs while using the mesh router and speeds are fast (depending on your ISP).
Also appreciate the simplicity of setting up a guest network.

East to setup! I went with Google Wifi Pro because of the 6e backhauling capability. This alleviates congestion over the 2.4 and 5g bands with wifi systems without a dedicated backhauling network. I also game and work from home with lots of UCaaS type traffic, so it's nice to be able to prioritize Gaming and call traffic. What I will say is this is for the set it and forget consumer. I've owned high end gaming routers and always liked the features to be able to make tweeks for my use, but what I found is it really makes no measurable difference (for me). I need whole home coverage and to be able to put LOTS of IOT devices on my network. In order to have good gaming quality and call quality though, no matter how good marketing says the router/mesh network is, if you put cameras on that network and you also have 4 apple TV's in the house, you WILL have a laggy network. You will notice it in quality of your streaming services. I found myself having to turn off my cameras and always on my kids for leaving the TV/IPADs running for background noise. Here's how I solved it! I setup 4 networks and 2 separate WIFI systems. I run the Google Nest WIFI and Google Nest WIFI Pro! The pro network runs my main network and the IOT network. This separates my thermostats, dishwasher, lights, Apple TV, etc from my computers and gaming devices. But this wasn't enough when I added cameras, so I created another "home" in Google Home and stood up my old Google Nest Wifi as a strictly camera network. I run ALL of this over a T-Mobile 5G network perfectly. By separating the traffic over multiple networks (and 2 Google Nest WIFI routers), it reduces the noisiness you will get when trying to shove signals from the 50+ devices (in my case) over a single router (even if you divide it over the 2 available networks). Using your guest network helped some, but I personally reached a point when devices were noticeably slow to respond (ie trying to see video in my sons room or search the internet, while the TVs are running and my wife is on a business call). Now, everything work great! You would think the 2 wifi systems would conflict, but the wifi systems are good at selecting wifi channels that are not congested... and I have the 2 router systems sitting right next to each other in each room. 3 Pro and 3 non-pro and no you can't connect them together.

This mesh router set up just works. Easy set up using Google home app on your phone. And options are clear and easy to use. Using an actual lan wire ensure the other node has full bandwidth. Plus capability to buy more nodes is a plus.

I bought the Google Wifi to replace my old Nest Wifi product. I had to do some moving of the wifi routers and test the internet speeds to gwt the optimal internet speeds, but it was worth it. I have upped my qifi feom about 72 Mbps to upwards of 350 Mbps on my 400 Mbps home internet.
I am very pleased with this product!
Additionally, the Google Wifi is easy to setup with its step by step inatructions and the easy to use Home app.

Great improvement over the last version. The setup was super easy and reliability is great. Have not had any hiccups since setup. Plays well with all of our devices, new and old. Great backwards compatibility.

The Google home wifi products continue to impress me at every iteration. Even with the age of my older units, they continue to function flawlessly and I didn't think I'd get much out of an upgrade, but I'm happily surprised and impressed. Setup is still simple and being able to interconnect the routers together via hardwire to extend wireless simply is a huge plus to extend wireless to outbuildings and accessory structures. I love automated diagnostics and health checks to make sure all functions are operating correctly and it all reports right to the app! Excellent signal proportion and speeds!

Got this after realizing one of the mesh routers needs to be hard wired to our home router. We weren’t getting Internet across our house, so these got us the full coverage we needed!

I boght a Nest wifi pro about a month ago and so pleased with it. So I decided to buy 3 Nest wifi pro in bundle for another install.
They are great for fast connections and execellent wifi coverage.

For a cheap mesh system this actually gets the job done. Much faster speeds than my previous Wifi 6 setup. The speeds through the 6e band are quite impressive. Range is also very impressive while the signal strength can be hit or miss, however even when it shows a couple bars, my speeds are rarely noticeably hindered.

I had a Nest Wifi 5 for a long while and worked just ok, but wifi speed was subpar and took forever to connect to my nest cameras. Also, I could never use to the fullest my 1Gbps fiber bandwidth because of the Wifi 5 limitations.
For that reason, I decided to give the new Nest Pro 6 a chance. Worst mistake I have ever made.
It worked fine for a few weeks, then everything started failing and disconnecting all the time. Unstable connection with a lot of volatile latency in the network unsustainable for people working from home using video conference.
I suspected it could be my internet connection, so I decided to try connecting all my devices directly to the AT&T Fiber router, and it worked perfectly.
Reaching out to Google support, they required me (baffle now) to cable all mesh points.
This is absurd and the most ridiculous product support I have ever received and made me decide to never purchase any Google products for the rest of my life.
I hope you read this review before buying this piece of hit garbage.
Do yourself a favor and buy an Eero mesh which ja a thousand times more reliable, faster, and cheaper.
