Did a lot of research on the right kind of equipment we needed for our house (approx. 3000 sq ft). This mesh system has proven to be exactly what was needed. We no longer have WiFi cutting in and out or not working at all when a couple things were using it. Installation was also a breeze!

I have the first generation and I moved to the second generation to get more coverage in a home with walls and blockers everywhere. This was a great decision to purchase the new version and the coverage is no longer an issue. I’ve done a ton of research and Google WiFi continues to be the leader in the clubhouse.

I always had spotty wifi connections to my cameras. Sometimes they would go off-line. Now that I've install Nest wifi all my wifi issues have gone away. All my 4 cameras never go off line. No more weak signal . I even get good signal on the back deck. Set has never been easier. It's been 4 weeks now without any off-line issues.

Recently purchased due to my main router having to go in the basement. Getting much better coverage throughout the house, but not great coverage on the sq ft in description. Will have to purchase additional points, but overall still satisfied as I can now work in areas of the house that I couldn’t before.

Super simple to set up and gave me a better wifi range than my previous router provided by my cable company with the added bonus of google assistant. The only downside is I needed to get an ethernet switch because I prefer to use an ethernet connection for my computer and Roku.

Easy set up and noticed increased speed and range vs using only surfboard router/modem from Verizon for FiOS. Use this on 3 floors of house, no more dead spots. Recommend

It's good but leaves a lot to be desired

I picked this up from Best Buy after doing a lot of research online and watching video after video on YouTube. Where this Google Nest Wifi does have a lot of good, it definitely has a lot that left me wanting for more.
Pros:
1) I am seeing better internet speeds in my home overall. I pay for 250MB/sec but was only seeing around 3-4 MB/sec in my upstairs office with my old Nighthawk router. With this, I am now seeing speeds reach over 20 MB/sec. It isn't the speed I wanted but I will come back to this later.
2) This design of a router is way more "aesthetically appealing" as my wife puts it. She hated looking at the black router we had before with all the different antennas coming out the back and pointing every which way. If someone wasn't actively looking for our router, I don't think they would even notice it was there. It just blends in with the rest of its surroundings.
The middle:
1) Google Voice responds to and picks up our voices a lot better than our Amazon Echo does. We find ourselves having to repeat ourselves a couple times with the Amazon product and, even then, it still doesn't always get what we are asking it to do correctly. Where the Google Assistant is better in this regard, one off putting feature of this is when it comes to the "mute" switch that is located on the back of the unit. When you switch Google to "mute", a couple things are put in motion. First, there is a yellow ring that is constantly shown on the bottom of the unit. In the light of day, this is barely noticeable; however, when the lights go down, it sticks out like the nightlight you never knew you bought. We have ours mounted on the wall (which is lightly colored) and it casts around a five foot diameter halo on the wall. Someone might love this but we find it distracting when we are trying to power down at the end of the day. Second, the Google Home app, which you have to download in order to get everything to function, starts pushing notifications every time that the "muted" device starts picking up someone talking. It pushes to my phone constantly (android) and my wife has less pushes (iPhone) but they are still coming through. Last, if the notifications weren't enough, if you ever use the word "Google" in a normal, day to day sentence, the unit will kindly (but annoyingly) remind you that it is in the "mute" mode and to switch it back on if you want to use it.
Cons:
1) As stated before, I am having better speeds than I had before, but I am still left without the internet I wanted. I don't live in a very large home (700 SF each floor). My "router" unit is located on the main level on the far side of my house. The "point" unit is up in my office, one level up, on the other side of the house. With this, they still talk to each other and I am still getting 20 or so MB/sec; however, that is all. No matter how I position them in different rooms, walls, etc, they will not pump out anything higher than 20 or so MB/sec. The only place I was actually able to get them to produce faster results was when I put the router at the bottom of the stairs on an overturned laundry basket and the point on another basket on the top of the stairs. Only then did they get up around 50-75 MB/sec.
2) One thing that completely boggles my mind is that the "points" with this system do not have their own Ethernet connection slot. The router unit does have two connection ports, one for the ethernet from the wall and one to another close device. If your computer or device that needs a direct, wired connection is in close proximity to the router, you're golden. If it is somewhere close to the "point", you're out of luck.
3) The google "customer support" (or "lack of support") wasn't very helpful when I called to discuss my connection issues. The only thing they seemed to be able to think of was "buy another point". "Buy another point" and put it directly above your router on the floor above and then it won't have issues communicating with the point in your office. "Buy another point" and put it directly under your office on the same floor as the router and you'll be fine. I understand that they would suggest this in order to shorten the connection distance but the thing is that I moved my point throughout the entire upstairs (directly over the router, directly under the computer, in between the router and the computer, etc.) and nothing seemed to help until the units were in direct, unobstructed sight of each other. I get it, buying another point might help spread the coverage better but when you advertise on your direct website that a router and and point will cover a home 3800 SF and I am having issues covering a house with less than 1400 SF, I have serious trust issues when it comes to your "customer support" telling me to just shell out another $150 for another point (which then should put me up over 5400 SF according to the all-trustworthy website) that doesn't seem like it would help anymore that what I already have to deal with.
Overall, I would probably not purchase this again and would most likely shell out for something like Orbi but it gets the job done for now. We'll probably keep it for a couple years but will definitely be looking to upgrade at that point to another system.

Got these on sale and they work great! With the mesh system I now have fast high speed internet connection that covers my entire house even in places I was getting dead zones before. Also, the access point duplicates as a Google speaker which is just another great added bonus for my new COVID home office.

Truly helps to extend an existing wifi network

Purchased to help extend the reach of Comcast Internet service, and it truly does help. 4 out of 5 stars because the Google assistant is rather particular ... you have to identify the room you want to play music in, for example, rather than having the speaker you're talking to simply respond. And sometimes it takes more than one request. Strange but tolerable.

I really like this nest wifi. But i must to say that the most of services that i use are Google so.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a solution for extend your network without losing speed in the farthest place of home this is what you need. The other notable feature is that is super easy to install and manage.

Terrible Connectivity and Slow Speeds

Terrible product. Ive had the mesh wifi for little over a year now and it has been the worst investment ive ever made. Since day 1 ive had connectivity issues and speed issues. Not only can you never get 5g wifi speed but the 2g wifi speed is worse than it should be too. Im writing this review now because just after 1 year of having these they decided to stop working. They are not connecting and while the wifi is still somehow up it states it has no internet. Ive reset it and everything with no luck. Avoid these products at all cost, a regular router with wifi is a million times better than this mesh crap.

Brand response from Nest Support
Posted .
Hi there, EthanS. We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that Nest Wifi fell short of meeting your expectations.
We recommend checking if you´re using a modem/router combo. If you are, we recommend setting it up in bridge mode and disabling its Wi-Fi functionality. This will avoid any network issues caused by both your combo and Nest Wifi Router, broadcasting the same SSID and password. You may then connect your Nest Wifi Router to your modem using an Ethernet cable, and then connect your Nest Wifi Points to your Nest Wifi Router wirelessly.
The connection drops you are experiencing could also be affected by interference caused by the building materials in your home. There could also be signal interference due to traffic on your Wi-Fi network, on your neighbors' Wi-Fi networks, or from other sources like microwaves or baby monitors. We recommend keeping your Nest Wifi Points in a clear line of sight to ensure you don't get any drops. Also, as a general rule, Nest Wifi Points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other.
If none of the steps prove to be helpful, we'd be happy to take a look at the issue you're having. Please feel free to reach out to us at Google Wifi Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Works great and super easy to set up, somehow it reaches and truly extends my wifi whereas other extenders in the past were an absolute waste of time. I like how it doesn’t make you connect to a different wifi when you’re using the other access point

My 2,000 sqft space was having a hard time connecting the virtual learners in my house while also allowing me to zoom my life away on work calls. Things were getting tense when I decided to try the Mesh system and we haven't had any problems with wifi since! GAME CHANGER!

I’ve been using this system for nearly two years now and it has solved our problems completely. Our house is only one level but quite long and our router simply could not cover even halfway. We installed this system and have complete coverage for at least the 100’ of our home.

Google Nest Wifi Good and bad

Good - easy to set-up
Bad - the range is not great compared to my old router. I don't get internet when I am outside on my phone (Iphone). Not sure why. My son who has an android, it works outside for him. We also have an older version of Roku stick for our TV, and it did not connect to the internet with this, had to get a newer version and it worked.

Very easy set up. I was a little annoyed that the original one I bought only lasted a little over a year, but I liked the quality of signal it provided and am using it again for coverage at the end of the house where my main wi-Fi signal is weak.
