Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have this deployed as the primary node in a mesh network that also includes a Google OnHub. (For a brief while this was in true mesh mode, with a wireless interconnect between these nodes; presently, this interconnect is wired). I consistently get wireless speeds upwards of 300Mb/sec, and wired speeds upwards of 500Mb/sec (had been nearly saturating my gigabit upstream until rewiring to go through a separate/3rd-party switch, so I don't think this AP is the bottleneck). More importantly, range is excellent -- providing solid signal beyond my unit well down the hallway -- and the effort Google has put into security and maintenance for the software stack running on this hardware is critical to me. Access points which require manual firmware updates still make up most of the market, and I was thrilled to have one of the relatively-few home networks that was not at all vulnerable when VPNFilter malware was made public earlier this year. It's not a "feature router", but the features it does have are important -- guest-network support; management via a cell phone app with speed test results logged. The only gotcha for me was that during initial setup I had to directly connect a laptop to my upstream connection, as the router only wanted to use Google's DNS service before being configured, and so could not access my ISP's first-time setup page.

So I live in a small apartment (1000 sq ft), my netgear modem and wifi router works ok, but not great. When I was in my bedroom, the signal wouldn't be as good when I was near the router. I am using a 100mbps from spectrum, and I would get an average of 50 mbps throughout the apartment. I read some reviews about the Google Wifi and I decided to give it a try. Super easy setup with the app. Once it's up and running, I have 120mbps ANYWHERE in the house. It's that amazing. I'm super satisfied. If you have a bigger house, consider purchasing a second Google Wifi for larger coverage.

Really quick to set up. I did have to use a google account but that was no big deal. Set up was easy and no dead spots in the house now. Works really well.

I've never seemed to have good luck with routers. The speeds aren't there unless i'm right next to the router and they're completely unreliable anywhere else in the house. Not the case with these. They're easy to set up and getting 3 made it easy to make sure I covered my entire house. I haven't had ONE issue since installing these. This is a great wifi system to use.

The Google WiFi system solved my house's issue with coverage. Previous systems provided spotty coverage. I now get a strong signal in every room. Easy to install and set up. Since they all work together I don't have to have several wifi names for devices to try to connect to. I just wish the light could be dimmed because it lights up rooms at night.

The Google Home Wifi is the right choice if you have a lot of smart devices in your home. I didn't realize how many devices my household has connected plus my neighbors were using my guest WiFi and it just kept going and going. The Google Wifi created a reliable internet connection throughout our house which is about 4,000 sq ft that I dedicated to our home security system because it's that reliable. I didn't think the pack of three would be enough but it's plenty enough for connectivity, I even pick-up the signal outside of the home for a good distance with no lag.

Bought 2 of the single units for our 1600 sq ft house. Setup is an absolute breeze as long as you can follow the simple directions in the app. Start to finish 15 minutes. 115 Mbps anywhere in my house and finally out on the patio. 5 year old Netgear AC1600 router couldn't make it through the walls and sliding glass door to the patio. 5 stars is really not enough.

Dependable WiFi system for your whole house. Easy to set up. Able to receive WiFi in every room. WiFi calling and streaming of videos not a problem now.

I already had 2 of them already but I needed to replace my Google HUB that was acting up. I had it for 6 yrs, and it was actually ready to be upgraded. For those of you who may not know, technology changes very rapidly, and to keep everything fresh with the speeds offered by your provider, change out you WIFI units every 3 yrs at the most. I added these 3 units to my existing google units and my WIFI has no blind spots any where in my home and back yard. I noticed an increase in speed after I installed the new mesh system. The set up through the google app make set-up a breeze and VERY easy. The Google mesh automatically selects the fastest channel and seamlessly changes from 2 GHZ to 5GHZ for the fasted connection. his mesh also provides guest access for your peeps that come visit you. Oh and with the app, you can boot people off, setup a timer to shut off and a bunch of other neat features. I would highly recommend this mesh system.

We previously had a fancy router with functions that we do not really use and cost more than the Google WiFis but we had intermittent connectivity issues where we had no connection for short periods of time. Setup was very easy and the Google's mesh system provided great coverage around our home. We no longer have the intermittent connectivity issues.

Very easy to set up and works great. Speeds are amazing from all devices. Talked to the nerds here at work and based on their reccomendation, bought it.

If you're a tinkerer, I'll tell you now, you should probably avoid this setup. It's best for people who need minimal options but want maximum coverage and quality. You can set reservations and manage some minimal options - DNS, WAN, DHCP/LAN options - port forwarding and IPV6. There is guest network and a QOS feature, but it's really designed for short term priority and that's about it. I think I have a pretty dense network for a home setup - about 8 wired devices and 16 wireless. With that being said, I've had no performance issues. Keep in mind that if you have a larger space, you can definitely buy more nodes to add. I don't believe there is a maximum number of units you can add to a single mesh network. Have a 3,000 sq ft house - maybe you'll want 6 - 900 sq ft apartment, probably good with a single. I'm currently running 3 of the units in a 1,900 sq ft space - it's probably a little overkill, but at least I have full coverage in the house and backyard now. Keep in mind that all management is done via the Google Wifi mobile app. No web interface here. It took me a little bit getting used to - especially since coming off a Netgear Nighthawk and some other DD-WRT devices. I've gotten comfortable with letting go of old things and I must say, I'm happy with my router/AP just working as intended.

My previous router got fried during a Thunderstorm. Was very upset because it was a very good system (Orbi with one satilite). But it was not as easy to setup as this Google system was. The app to set it was a dream. Wifi coverage is great (3 pack) and has been very reliable.I would buy again in a heartbeat. Have not missed my Orbi one second. Highly recommend.

Had been waiting for the cable company to deliver on their whole home product for over a year and finally gave up on them. Read the reviews on the Google Wi-Fi and opted for this instead. Blazing fast speed and easy to use admin control with smart phone to pause select devices. Have been very satisfied and continue to recommend to family and friends.

i was in the market to purchase a new router since the one I have was not performing. I went into Best Buy and the sales person showed me a few different routers that may suit my needs. He then showed me the Google and i was hesitant at first but when he explained the return policy I thought I would try them. I glad I did. What a difference. Streaming movies is now quicker and painless. We can run more devices at the same time and our whole house (2,000+ sq.ft.) is covered. I highly recommend this router. My son-in-law is going to Best Buy today to purchase one.

Easy set up, excellent performer. My entire experience with this router has been more than pleasant. Very simple to set up. We have a 1350 square-foot home, and the coverage is just fantastic, especially considering it’s an old house that is a plaster and laugh construction. Other routers have had problems covering the entire house. Highly Recommended.

This WiFi system is by far the best option for anyone that is one the fence about a mesh system. Set up is easy, and speed and coverage are excellent.

This is a great product for those that want flexibility with their wifi. It is easy to set up and easy to move around to meet your desired coverage.

I had been hearing great things for several months and decided to give my home network a boost and now I have more consistent speeds and reliability.

I have a 5000 sqft house and with these three units I was able to nearly eliminate all the dead zones in the house. It was easy to set up and manage.
