||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mesh network is absolutely horrible! I needed to upgrade my mesh because I had increased my service to 1 GB. My old Orbi was not a match for the speed. I bought the Nest Wi-fi based on employee recommendations. Well, it recognized the GB speed but only let my devices connect between 100 and 300 mbs! My Galaxy S20 Ultra connected at 400 mbs no problem with my Orbi, my laptop was the same with Orbi (I had 400 MBS service). No matter what I did, I could not connect any higher than 300, but it was hanging out around 100. After researching this setup on the 'net, I came to the realization that MOST people had the same issue! I brought the system back and splurged for the Orbi AX6000. My phone immediately connected at nearly 900 MBS, my laptop connected at over 800, and everything else in our house connected at high speed as well! We have nearly 40 devices that are "connected". Between a thermostat, 4 smoke/CO2 detectors, cameras, door bell, streaming players, TVs, tabs, phones, gaming systems, etc, the Nest system does not cut it. It's a total gimmick, The Orbi AX6000 is handling everything absolutely perfectly, with room to spare!

Posted .Hi MikePasta, thanks for sharing your experience with using the Nest Wifi, and we’re sorry to hear that you couldn’t connect any higher than 300 mbps.

If you ever change your mind and would like to try the Nest Wifi again in the future, we’d be more than happy to and guide you with using it effectively and you’ll find us always available to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Works

Posted .Hi Davester, we appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that Nest Wifi fell short of meeting your expectations.
Your Nest Wifi is designed to blanket your whole home in a fast, reliable Wi‑Fi mesh connection. It helps to connect and optimize each of your devices Wi-Fi connections by connecting to the fastest Wi‑Fi point and keeps buffering at bay from room to room. It also puts your network on the clearest channel and fastest band to avoid congestion. Each point works with the router to expand coverage and keep Wi‑Fi fast in every room. Plus each Nest Wifi Point is a smart speaker that you can play music on, find answers, and more. The performance of Nest Wifi will also rely on the speed of your Internet connection, and can support the following speeds:
Nest Wifi Router:
- 2 x 867Mbps @ 5GHz
- 433 Mbps @2.4GHz
Nest Wifi Point:
- 400 Mbps @2.4 GHz
- 866 Mbps @5GHz
Please keep in mind that these Wi-Fi speeds are indicative of a perfect environment with zero interference. Wi-Fi speed can vary depending on a few things: the type of device you are using, distance between the device and your router or point, the frequency your devices are connected to, and physical barriers like walls in your home. It will also generally depend on your network plan and reception on your modem.

Google Nest WiFi good but not extraordinary
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive but works. The mesh system will not be effective if the satellite is not in the direct line of sight of the main router. That sort of defeats the purpose of covering the whole house.
I would recommend this to a friendSo far pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When they’re working correctly, they work great. There have been a few times my connection goes from great to weak in my basement. I can’t tell if it is because of the mesh system or my xfinity router though.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for boosting Wifi signal!

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
