I got a new router because I wanted my smart home devices to be connected to a 2.5 gig network and my gaming console and laptop and other media devices to be on the 5 gig channel. But the router does not allow any real Admin modification. There is no way you can choose to apply a specific network speed for a specific device.

Great product. I was getting a weak connection upstairs with my old WiFi. So, I did some research online, then went in to Best Buy and a blue shirt guy helped me decide on this one. Total Tech came and set it up for me (not sure I would have been able to hook it up on my own). I have one plugged in downstairs at the cable modem, and one plugged in upstairs in my home office. Now I'm getting the strong, secure WiFi connection I need. These look really nice, too.

Nest wifi pro is a good router but nothing drastically different from Nest wifi. Speeds will be similar if you are connecting 1 to the modem router and others as wifi points. On the downside no Google home speakers in any of the points. wifi 6e speeds are better but depends on if one can really take advantage of same.
Hi there, Anurag. Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that you find the Nest Wifi Pro good, but we’re sorry to learn that your experience has not exceeded your expectations. We also hear your concern about the speaker functionality, however, after thorough research and feedback from customers and retail partners, we’ve learned users appreciate a dedicated networking system. Removing the Google Assistant speaker allows us to expand our reach and offer Nest Wifi Pro at a more affordable price point.
The placement of your Wi-Fi router and points is vital to have reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. For example, if the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it part way in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf.
You can also try these steps below that may help: - Move the connected device closer to your Wifi router or point. - Repositioning the points to avoid obstructions like walls, doors, and aquariums can improve performance. - Make sure all unused devices are off and not draining bandwidth with large downloads. - Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerators or other equipment. - Run a mesh test to confirm placement of your Wifi points.

This system makes sure I have strong network anywhere in my house and outside my house. The range is extremely large and set up is as easy as plugging it in.

Seems to be doing the job, although I'm not sure if there's much improvement from my old Google Wifi 3-pack.
But I don't like the new size and shape; it's bigger and taller. The old wifi 3-pack was shorter, cylindrical, more compact and sat more stably. The new shape is much easier for a pet to knock over.

Very easy to setup and maintain. I set these up for my Mom as she was having to stand in 1 place in her house to talk on the phone. Now with the Nest and wifi calling, her phone works everywhere.

Wish I got this a long time ago. I have seen a huge difference with my WiFi speed. I can finally connect multiple things to my WiFi and my stream speed is not effective. I will recommend this to anyone over the other mesh products out there.

This is my second set as I replaced the old one I’ve had for 8 years. I recently installed a security system with multiple cameras in my home and needed to increase my wi-if muscle/strength to accommodate the additional devices that were crowding my network. The Google Mesh did the job perfectly and for my needs the two pods were enough. Great purchase and better product.
Great improvement on WiFi, Google setup less ideal

The actual performance of the mesh wifi is significantly better than the previous version, however going from the previous version, however it doesn't seem like Google thought that anyone would upgrade the wifi. Had to delete all of the cameras, wifi, and nest protect devices from the app and re-install them before everything worked again. Was overly (and unnecessarily) time consuming. There should be a better way to replace a mesh system and this is not what I would consider normal as our other property (using an Aruba device) I could swap networks with ease.
