    Almost as good as an Apple Time Capsule ;) Easy set up done in under ten minutes. Cool classy modern contemporary design. The Google home app lets you priorities devices and mange everyone on your network. Caps at 50 WiFi devices. Compatible with Nest products off the bat. My speeds were 225 dl and 10 upload.

    The Wi-Fi Mesh Router is exactly what we needed to prevent poor connections. I'd strongly recommend this item for small to regular sized rooms. You might require additional devices on the same floor.

    Google Wifi is so simple to use and set up. It makes a big difference in eliminating spots in my home that received a weak signal from the router/modem I was using alone. If you have a two or three-story home or an outbuilding where you need internet, this is the answer. I originally used Google Wifi with cable and now I've switched to 5g internet. The switch was simple with no problems. This is a great product!

    Finally something to help my RING! I have a Ring doorbell that does not work because my internet box is too far. I bought three of these and put them in my house including my basement. The one in the basement now allows me to use my Echo Show for the ring doorbell. I'm going to get one more!

    Plugged it in. Tossed it in a corner, face up. Followed the prompts via the google home app. Been running with zero issues for about 2 weeks and change. Tried it with a nest mini and ge plug. Plug and play with those items.

    Drastic performance drop

    Honestly, I'm not too fond of this router. I have other Google Nest products such as the camera and hubs, and they perform very well. This AP advertises at least 1,500 sq. ft. of coverage, however, I find that to be a little bit of an exaggeration. I'm in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment with a pretty open floor plan. I connected it to my T-Mobile Home 5G router and noticed a dramatic decrease in performance. Speed tests from T-Mobile to Google Point were approx. 913/102. Speed tests from the Google point to my devices were about 80/7 and very unstable. I tried several different settings, but nothing changed. I liked the idea of having real-time info about the devices, speeds, etc, but that benefit does not outweigh the performance drop. I returned it to the store and stayed with my T-Mobile 5G gateway. I believe that the upgraded Nest WiFi with WiFi 6 technology performs better than this one.

    What an utter piece of garbage this product it. No instructions at all included. Once you figure out to go through the google home app it takes you through a myriad of steps only to fail repeatedly with no tech support option. Best Buy should stop selling such garbage

    My object arrived broken (shipped to my home).. operates properly. But, the item arrived in two when unboxed.. inside plastic that connects two pieces was shattered, but what kept it working was the wires keeping it together. I was in need of the item I purchased that I just kept it. But, I’m very disappointed & unsatisfied.

    I now have 5 of these throughout my house and I can get about 6 houses away before my phone disconnects. THis system runs all of my smart bulbs, plugs, cameras, wireless devises, desktop, heater and TV without breaking a sweat. I know its older and there are newer models out there, but this works great with the devices that require 2.5 Ghz connection. Easy to set up with the google home app, easy to control, can even set the brightness of the light band around the outside.

    I purchased two of these Google WiFi units to add to one I already had. Finally got tired of managing my network using more complicated firewall, bridge, and APs. Setting these up in my home was a piece of cake and now I am consistently getting over 450 MBPS throughout the entire house. True, these units don't have all the bells and whistles, but the reality is they work great for small home networks. You'll need to locate the units strategically to maximize the coverage, but if you can do that you will not have any issues. Just about the only thing I'd want these units to allow is configuration from a wired PC, but apparently that's not an option. Other than that I am pleased with their performance.
