||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this at the advice of a very young person who is working at Best Buy. He failed to tell me that the item needs another element to work. I suppose I should’ve realized that it needed a modem.

Posted .Hi there, Eladio. Thanks for letting us know about the issue. We're sorry to hear that your Nest Wifi keeps disconnecting.
Reliable connection between Nest Wifi Routers can be affected by a few things: the size of your home, distance between routers and possible sources of interference. Here are some recommended steps you may want to try out to improve connectivity between your Nest Wifi Routers:
As a general rule, points work best when they’re about 2 to 3 rooms apart. As an 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 halfway in that direction.
Try to place it in an elevated position, like on a shelf. Nest Wifi Routers work best when they can see each other with a clear line of sight.
Barriers like heavy furniture and walls made of thick concrete or brick can affect Wi-Fi performance. With additional points, it'll be easier to strategically place them in a way that avoids obstructions.
If you have a house that spans more than one floor, we recommend adding an additional Wi-Fi point to create a strong mesh throughout the home.
If you have a larger home, we recommend checking the number of Nest Wifi Routers you will need to add to improve Wifi signal coverage on this help link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7182840

Great Coverage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a Netgear router which worked great in my old house but now in the new place we had some areas of the house had very spotty coverage. Changed over to the Google Nest and the complaints have stopped.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These devices very much helped spread our internet capabilities. Total tech team installed for me and I am quite satisfied. Non-obtrusive.
I would recommend this to a friendFinally have a reliable router!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our old router dropped movies and would go off totally at least once a day. Ease of installation? No the Geek squad had trouble connecting our printer !!
I would recommend this to a friendToo unstable for me.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the idea of these and the built in google assistant but unfortunately it just kept dropping out for me. My house is about 2000 sqft and I had them places probably about 50 feet apart with 2 walls in between and the connection would cut out several times a day. At this price tag I was pretty disappointed, ended up switching to 1 strong router that looks like a mothership. Pretty though.

Posted .Hi ToniXD, thanks for posting your review. We're sorry to learn that your Nest Wifi keeps dropping its connection. This is not the experience we want you to have. If you're willing to give the product another go, It may be helpful to try the following steps to see if the Wi-Fi performance and connectivity will improve:
- 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.
If the issue is still there, we’d be happy to take a closer look into this issue. Please visit our Google Help page here and we’ll do our best to help: https://support.google.com/wifi/gethelp

||Posted .

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this because I was having problems with my Netgear router, basically connection issues on my various devices. I had heard mesh system would be the way to go but I had similar issues with Google nest WiFi as well. Stayed connected where the main router is but not anywhere else. Had rebooted the system multiple times, many times it wouldn’t connect even to the access point and this being in the same room. Decided to return this ina bout a week unfortunately. But it is a very good mesh system for those who it works. Would recommend trying it atleast.

Posted .Hi FrankB, thanks for giving us a review about the Nest Wifi. We’re glad that you find it a great product, and we’re sorry to learn that you ran into an issue with the firmware update before. If your Google Nest products have a reliable internet connection, they should update their software automatically. You can also set your phone to automatically install the latest version of the Nest app and the Google Home app. Meanwhile, if help is still needed, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime through our support channels here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good. Expensive, but pretty good. I'm not a fan of the Google Home app for Wifi. The Google Wifi app was better. Not the fault of this product line.
I would recommend this to a friendOverall like it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good system. But the switch between different points still causes a very short network interruption. This is my only complaint so far. I don't have a high bandwidth requirement though.
