Customer Ratings & Reviews

I returned these for the Orbi--the admin interface on the Google Wifi is really limited, and doesn't allow for much in the way of customization. Network speeds also weren't great when connected to satellites versus the Orbi. My only hope is that Netgear continues to support it and not ditch older models for Wifi 6. Had to stop using a Nighthawk for this reason.

found a cheaper and simpler solution to extend wifi with my att uverse setup. not sure this google solution would work for me.

installed in a two story total sqft 1900, average performance some buffering, wifi drop off, I expected better performance.

So far so good you got what you paid...we are planning to get a new one but still waiting for a good sale price...

We purchased this system and 14 months later it’s not lost it’s speed. We have business internet in our home for our company and the internet speed runs between 700-900. Our WiFi is showing test speeds of 70-85. We have done the factory reset twice and nothing will fix it. We are out of warranty and we will not purchase another mesh system.

Just stay away | the software just lacks Google does not follow up with software updates that work

Didn’t see much difference in quality in my unit. May be better for bigger homes

We have put the 3 boosters throughout the house. We have not noticed any significant difference in the speed of our internet.

I got this and a new modem and it was hard to get it to work right off. It was in and out then worked... not sure why

The 1st one wouldn’t work so we had to take it back & get another one. Working great.

Did not perform well in my home, although I was using this with an older cable modem.

not compatible with our wireless antenna system - exchanged for Apple Airport Extreme

Dont feel the difference as my internet has not improved to where I can really notice it.

It’s a fairly decent. It gives a good reception and the product is good.

I have returned it because the wifi signal kept dropping. No able to find out the problem.

I live in Manhattan, in a building that was built in 1900. This means that I have brick walls, plaster walls and a HUGE 3 bedroom apartment by NYC standards. Actually, by any standard. It also means that I have all of my neighbors in super-close proximity with their Wifi networks competing for speed an open channel. For years, I struggled with using Wifi, and about 5 years ago I purchased a Netgear range extender. This did help a bit, as I was able to get Wifi to reach my bedroom – which is 4 rooms away from the router and three rooms away from the extender. Unfortunately, I would still experience issues with buffering and at least a few times per week I would have to reset the router, modem and range extender. What a pain in the neck! I pay Time Warner Cable/Spectrum for 300 mbps internet service. I’ve done speedtests (through apps you can download onto your phone) and I came nowhere close to that speed. I recently have been on a quest to drop my cable service and cut the cord. I looked into IPTV service and I purchased a few devices to stream through, however, they all recommend having an Ethernet connection for best results (better picture, not buffering etc.). This is a huge problem for me, because the router is in the front of my house and I have devices in each room, and my only choice was to connect via Wifi and that led to a horrible connection. I just figured I was doomed to eternally bad Wifi – until now. Coverage - Google Wifi has changed it all. I have now 3 different Google devices spread across my apartment, and I am enveloped in amazing Wifi coverage! The best thing is, that since I placed each of these devices next to my tv, Nvidia shiled etc, I can now hardwire each of them for even better speed to these devices. In the room that is closest to the main device – I had 343 mbps download speed! I only pay for 300! In the room next to that one – I have 191 mbps – not hardwired to the device…yet. It will be even faster when plugged in! 4k resolution? According to the test, it’s good enough for 8k! I didn’t even know that existed! In the very last room (my bedroom that suffered with horrible wifi ) – I have 55 mbps! This thing is simply amazing. Setup – Even a child can do this. I’m usually one of those people that buys something and can never get it to work, not with this badboy. Download the app, plug in the first router and it will walk you through the rest. I had all 3 setup in ten minutes! The app even lets you control the light on the Google routers, what device should be given priority etc Cons – The only downside is that the router only has two Ethernet ports. Some people (like me) need a few more. But, to me, this in no way is a deal breaker. I highly recommend this device for those poor souls that have been struggling for Wifi for years. I have also attached a few pictures to this review so that you can see the actual speed tests.

It worked great for devices and streaming but I could not use my printer with it at all. I returned it.

Our router was fine for a while, then it just didn't connect anymore. We tried calling google but no answer (multiple times on different occasions) and followed all of the steps on the app and troubleshooting info. Eventually, the blue light stopped coming on at all. Don't buy these, spend the extra few dollars and get a good mesh like the Orbi. This mesh network sucked.

I was told I could replace my internet provider with the google wifi unit. Not so! Took unit back for refund.

These are great for extending the range of your WiFi but not great for online gaming due to double NAT issues.
