I wasn’t looking to buy a router but the salesman explained this item to me and I bought it. I have 47 devices on my home network and e always had problems with WiFi extenders. This lets all my devices work seamlessly I’m even able to hold my weekly zoom meetings in the back yard on the patio with blazing speed. I have X-Finity 200 mbs service and I am able to get full speed in the back yard.(241 mbs) It’s worth every penny!My point is near the back patio door.

This Nest WiFi mesh router is incredible. We have 2 buildings across an acre and are able to access our signal clearly. Easy to set up. Well worth it! My parents love being able to ask it questions and play music too, as well as being able to stream their TV off of it.

Great WiFi strength and ease of setup in condo where internet service line is not easy to move. No service interruptions or bandwidth issues since self installed. We even get coverage outside on our balcony now, where traditional Linksys router has trouble getting through the metal & concrete.
One wish is that it would be nice to be able prioritize one WiFi device permanently, instead of only a few hours. Also would be nice to have just one more RJ45 connection (only one) for hardwired devices.
Great value because I got it on Memorial Day Sale.

I’ve MESH system for my my new bigger house. I have a pod on all three house levels placed as centered as I could get. I did add a 4th older pod that adds better Wi-Fi to my garage and patio area on the far side of the house. Very happy after almost 2 years. They are also not distracting with all those antennas as well.
They were way to set up. Just know what speed your paying for from the provider and what your devices can handle with their hardware and you won’t be disappointed. Older tech can’t run at Gig speed and are limited to the internal network hardware.

Paired with Arris Surfboard 3.0 (also reviewed), the best wifi service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this pair. I used to have cable company modem and could not have more than 3 devices connected at once without the frustration of lagging.
With my Arris Surfboard and Google Nest pairing, I have had as much as 12 devices connected at the same time and no lagging. I am so happy I no longer have to constantly get stressed about my wifi signal like before ^_^
I normally do not review products unless they blow my expectations away. This product with the Arris surfboard pairing did exactly that. Absolutely phenomenal!!!

This purchase did to my speed of internet is akin to a new birth. I wish that I had made this purchase month ago. No more buffering, watching that spinning on my screen. The options are amazing! Also it gave me another Google voice to respond to. The possibilities are endless. If you're on the fence about this purchase, do it. You won't regret it.

Great device for multilevel homes. Currently using T-Mobile home internet which is surprisingly fast but had issues with range. I was able to install the router in my bedroom and "points" on the 1st and 2nd floor and now have good consistent internet everywhere. The two points also work as google smart speakers and can be synced to play music for a Sonos style layout.

Alright so I bought a set of these and when it's plugged directly into my modem I'm maxing out at 450mbs download while standing directly next to it, when I'm paying for 1gb. I understand devices have speed limitations but my iPhone 11 gets 550+ when I'm connected to my netgear router.
SO, I'm cool with 450mbs if that can hold up, even tho I'd prefer it to match my netgear, but I have a very large space so I bought a second set and I have 6 total units. After hooking up the additional 3 my speeds dropped to 150-200mbs even when standing directly next to the main router. I've factory reset it several times and not sure why adding 3 more units would slow speeds even further.
I'm really disappointed with these considering how much they cost.
I'll be buying mesh networks from several other brands and test them against these. So far I've tested 1 other mesh network brand and it has performed even worse than the google setup. If anyone has any advice or tips please let me know!

Everything in our house that was not hardwired to our modem would lag out, Especially gaming consoles. Our modem and router are downstairs in the laundry room so everything upstairs had issues. Ounce we installed the Google nest system nothing has dropped out or lagged. It’s a bit more expensive then other wireless systems but well worth it. No more complaints from my children is priceless. Easy to install as well. No issues.

Network device is usually a serious device and the manual would follow suit. Not this product. Google has made the mesh system user friendly. From the moment you open the product box, you can feel that this is indeed a Google product. Setup is easy and instructions are clear.
The router connects to modem seamlessly and the point unit provides you not only a mesh system but also a mini Google home speaker. Plug and play with minimum setup. Shortly, the magic of the mesh system will extend the wifi coverage in your home. That gives possibility to install smart home devices in more areas of your home, such as smart lamp or wireless home security system. I place the router unit and the mesh system on a different level of a building and the mesh system works well.
The google wifi app provides you with customization and more settings of your wifi system. The setting might not be as deep as what you would find in a typical router but that should not be a problem for most users, unless you’re a network guy that knows the ins and outs of network and really need of every possible network settings and customization. Google made it easy to set important settings such as determining priority devices, provides guest wifi network, and setup family wifi. The family wifi feature is a powerful tool that lets you to control wifi access of specific member of the family and it also provides safe search technology that prevents access to million of adult websites should you choose to activate the feature.
One of the features that I particularly like is the seamless integration to google Stadia platform. The mesh system is supposedly automatically prioritizing connection when you game with google Stadia. I can't really attest to the performance of this feature yet as my Internet bandwith is large enough that connection has never been an issue for me. The prioritization to google Stadia is a helpful feature when you game, though as a rule of thumb, you don’t want to do competitive gaming on a wireless network and maybe not on a cloud based gaming platform.
Lastly, the mesh point unit comes built-in with Google home speaker capabilities. The app provides you with options to link popular streaming services to the mesh point unit so that you can play songs from the speaker. The unit recognizes your voice well and it has a ton of useful features. You can use it to set an alarm to wake you up in the morning, provide you with a briefing to start your day, listen to news and of course provide instruction to your google smart devices. I will not use it primarily to play songs, but you can always do that and for a speaker that small, you can’t really complaint about the bass, highs and mids.

Simplified WiFi to Boost Your Connected Home

With internet usage and connected home devices increasing so much in your typical household, the need for high quality routers have become more common. I believe that the best form of achieving this is through a mesh router system and Google has really made an achievement with their new Google Nest Wifi Mesh System.
PROS:
- The design of the router and the point are very appealing. Everything is smooth, seamless, and its meant to be that way. Google did this on purpose to encourage users to have them out in the open as opposed to tucked away. The router will work much better being out in the open so it’s a good choice to make them beautiful!
- Set-Up was very easy. As expected, Google makes everything feel so simplified and straight forward. It was a clean process and I was very pleased with the set up!
- This package features a Router and a Point, which is very common for mesh systems. The Router plugs in directly to your modem so that it gets the hard wired internet source. Then the Point can be placed elsewhere in the house and it just requires power. The system works together flawlessly and really provides a strong boost of internet across multiple levels of your home. It is worth noting that the "Point" isn't as strong as the Router, which seems obvious, but I had no issues as the Point delivered much stronger internet than I previously had to an almost dead internet area of my home.
- The Point makes up for its subtle lack in power, by doubling as a Google Nest Speaker as well and it sounds great! Once again, this encourages you to place it out in the open but the speaker sounds great, has all the same functionality as a Google Nest Mini, and even has a colorful ring to it.
- Lastly, Google really makes this WiFi very easy to manage and just makes it feel so much more accessible than any other WiFi system I have used. By integrating this into your Google Home App and Google Assistants, there are plenty of perks you enjoy. This includes checking connection speeds, setting up Guest networks, see what devices are on it, prioritize which devices are more important for WiFi, and even turn off WiFi for devices aka devices your kids are using. I also really enjoy that you can use a Google Smart Display device to show what your speed tests are or display password information easily.
CONS:
- The biggest complaint I foresee people having is that the router only has 2 Ethernet ports. One being for the input and one being for output. Sure there are ways around this issue but it would be nicer to have more ports.
- At the time of this review, you really need two apps to access every feature for these routers: The Google Home app and the Google WiFi app. Eventually, Google will merge these two apps into one but for the time being you will have to have two apps if you really want to utilize all the features - although this isn't necessary.
- This mesh system does not support WiFi 6. It seems odd considering WiFi 6 is moving forward as the latest and greatest in home consumer WiFi, but Google opted against including it in this system.
BOTTOM LINE:
- This system is an all-around win-win for home internet users. On one hand it can be simple and out of the way for you minimalists while providing easy controls when needed. On the other hand, it can be a welcomed addition to you heavy smart-home users by providing a well-integrated Mesh WiFi system that works so well with your other devices. Google knows how to make high quality products, with comfortable ease of use, at reasonable prices compared to what others offer - this Google Nest Mesh System is no exception and will keep you happy.
