Replaced eero with Nest - Problem solved
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We previously had installed the error mesh network and for two years it worked great. About 6 months ago the error would quit, requiring a reboot. Working from home and needing reliable Zoom sessions, the daily unpredictable drops became unacceptable. We tried upgrading to the gig service but the problem was the eero. It seems eero had updated the firmware and had created the error condition but they would not revert to the prior firmware. We hired Best Buy’s Geek Squad for an audit of our set up. Geek special agent told us that eero was the problem and to get rid of it. We replaced the eero with the Nest product. We’re now enjoying our gig speed and reliability. Eero was, past tense, great. Too bad. Go with the Nest mesh system.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't believe that in comparison to my router and WiFi router my internet speed would double......but it did. The best part is the speakers on the routers have amazing quality. I highly recommend this product.

System is great as long as no interruption in wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was fairly easy and everything was going great, until we lost internet for a day. We had to factory reset each wifi point, and setting it back up was a pain. Hoping that it doesn't happen again! So, when we have internet without interruption, the system is great.

Nest Mesh Router
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a mesh system since I purchased a larger house and this one was easy to setup. Also the app gives me the ability to keep track of settings and make changes I think are needed.

Google nest

Meh… I wouldn’t count on it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a two-story home that approximately 1800 sqft and three of these devices is more than enough to cover that. The mesh system randomly went offline on several occasions and there was no explanation as to why. I called my ISP to ensure there weren’t any issues on their end and all was fine. The speeds were fast when it was working. The mesh system seems unreliable and for that reason I returned the product and went with EERO which has been running perfectly from day 1 with faster download speeds (950 mbps) compared to this item. I hope this helps you make your decision on purchasing this item.

Great Mesh Wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was easy to set up... except for connecting my wifi lightbulbs. After Googling it I eventually got them all working, but it was not a straightforward process. However, if you have a simple setup at home (connecting a computer, tv, cell phone, etc.), this is a really great option.

Very strong signal with Google wifi
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this Google wifi on Black Friday. I used to have weak signal in the room far way from the modem. Once I installed the Google wifi with add point, my internet speed is as same as the modem. Definitely it is good product.

glad I switch Routers
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a mesh system and this one is easy to install and use. BTW, Google help is excellent. I had to contact them for one minor thing and was so pleasantly surprised by how efficient that process was, unlike most other companies.

Works great, easy setup, but not customizable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup was so simple, signal was very strong, speeds were great. The only thing that didn't work for me was that I needed to separate wifi bands with different SSID's. Not possible with Nest WiFi so I had to return it.

Experience great speed at home
||Posted .

Easy to install mesh network
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system sets up in minutes allowing excellent wi fi coverage in a large space. It also has Google voice command capability and Alexa compatible. I can say, Hey Google turn the outside lights on with Leviton smart switches for example.

Upgraded from the Google WiFi
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to the Nest Wifi from the original Google Wifi because it has stronger antennas that give it a larger coverage footprint. Granted, my apartment is only 1000 sq ft but for some reason, the wifi signal was not reaching all the way to my home office where my desktop computer is. I technically got a signal but it was a fraction of the bandwidth every other room was getting. My new setup has drastically improved everything! I not only switched out the Google Wifi for the Nest Wifi as my main hub router, but I was also able to then use the original Google Wifi now as one of the "beacons" located in my office. The bandwidth increased well over 1000%! Needless to say, I'm very satisfied with those results (~‾▿‾)~

Does a Great Job
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our service provider gave us a modem/router combo and our wifi speeds were terrible the fastest speed we were able to achieve consistently was 25mb/s while a wired connection was able to achieve 260mb/s. I purchased this system and after setting up via wifi we can now achieve the same speeds as a wired connection wirelessly. I would recommend this if you don't need a modem but your wireless speeds are terrible, to check if your router is limiting your speeds just do a network speed test on a device using wifi and another that is using a wired connection to the modem. If the connection speeds differ greatly then your router is most likely the issue.

Exactly what I needed
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using a different mesh system for the past couple of years and from day 1, I never felt like it worked correctly. I tried tech support multiple times but it constantly crashed and never had great connectivity. I kept thinking about switching to Google WiFi but it was a few years old so I knew an update had to be just around the corner. Then Nest Wifi was announced and I knew it would be my next router. I had read articles reviewing the Nest WiFi and noticed there was a lot of extra steps if you had a Fios connection for internet. I can tell you from my experience that it is not true. I have an older Coax connection for my Fios TV/Internet bundle and all I did was unplug the old mesh system router and plug in the Nest WiFi router in it's place. No additional steps required. Setup was pretty easy. Just download the Google WiFi app before you start. You'll also need the Google Home app to actually setup the device. Once the router is plugged in and you're in setup on Google Home, just scan the QR code on the bottom of the router and let Google do the work. There was a quick update to download and install but overall installation of the router took me about 5-10min including unplugging the old one, plugging in the new one, letting it start up, installing updates, and programming the SSID and password that I wanted to use. Once the router was set in the basement, I took the Point to the opposite corner of the house, two floors up. Plugged it in to the wall, ran setup on Google Home, and it connected to the router quickly with connection strength of "Great!". It did it's short update, then done. It was really that simple to get this up and running. It's worth noting that the room where I placed the Point, I could barely get a signal in with the old router from the prior mesh system. That's how much stronger the Nest WiFi's signal is. I went through the Google WiFi app to see which devices were connected and noticed any Nest products I had were all labeled with just Nest Labs. You can toggle on the MAC ID's and using the Nest app you can pretty quickly identify which is what and then just edit the label in Google WiFi. Took me probably 10min to correct anything that was mis-labeled or registering as "Unnamed Device". Through the app, you can also setup Family WiFi and Guest WiFi networks to separate traffic and do things like Pause WiFi to certain devices during dinnertime, for example. If you have any Google speakers in your house, you can do this as easily as saying "Hey Google, pause WiFi to (insert name of device) for 1 hour". Also, the router is just a router, but the point has a Google speaker built in. If you don't want it listening, just turn off the microphone via the switch on the back side of it. You can adjust volume by tapping the top of it, just like their other speakers, and it has a light ring along the bottom so you know when it's doing something. We have 100/100 internet through Fios and the slowest I've logged in a speed test anywhere in the house, garage and the deck outside is 97Mbps, so this thing is working perfectly. I probably could've gotten away with just the router, but it is nice to have the extra point to take some of the traffic on the top floor of the house. It would be nice if the point had an Ethernet out port, but it seems like there are fewer and fewer devices that even have an Ethernet port anymore. There are 3 laptops in this house and not one of them has an Ethernet port. The Router itself has one Ethernet out port, but that's all. For me, it's not a huge issue but if it is for you, make sure the router is close to where you'll need Ethernet and you can find a pretty inexpensive hub to plug in to the Router's 1 out port and then you can plug in multiple Ethernet cables. Not ideal for some people but doesn't impact my setup. Still wanted people to be aware of it though. The other thing I wish this system had was a dedicated backhaul channel for network traffic. My speed test isn't showing any slowdown, and it's interesting to look at the Google WiFi app and see how it manages traffic and which devices are idle vs running. That's something my old system didn't have. So while the dedicated backhaul would be ideal, so far this system is operating better than the last one that did have that dedicated channel. I'm assuming Google has some software wizardry at work in the background that manages the flow. Some people are also upset it doesn't have WiFi 6, but that's like saying you were angry if a TV didn't have 1080p capability in 2006 when everything was being broadcast in 480i or 720p. WiFi 6 is the future, but it's years away from being mainstream. Very few people have a house full of devices running WiFi 6, if they have any at all. Yes it would future proof this system a little better, but for most people, it won't be an issue for a long time. This system so far has been everything my last system wasn't. It's fast, great coverage even through walls and floors, super easy setup, and if you're invested in the Google/Nest ecosystem, it's hands down the best system for you. if you absolutely have to have WiFi 6, this isn't for you. But for the everyday person who is just looking to get better coverage in their home in a simple system that looks good out in the open, I highly recommend the Nest WiFi.
