Saves you from cable companies trying to up sell or upgrade their routers and higher internet speeds.

I had the Google wifi devices, and upgraded to the Nest. Went from 3 devices to 2 devices. I haven't noticed a drastic change. The Nest connected to all the devices.

Excellent product. Made a big difference in signal strength throughout the house.

Awesome product. Wifi hasn't dropped once after a month of use and I have like 20 devices connected and streaming at all times. Google home app has advanced features like port forwarding, DHCP ip reservations and those sort of things that you would find in a regular router. The 'point' is better than a regular google home speaker because you can play music in it without specifying which speaker to use. The Google home app also includes an internet speed tester that is pretty nice.

Excellent product and very easy to install. I am super satisfied.

Wifi speeds are running exactly as advertised throughout my home and to me, that's worth the price!

yeah, this definitely works to increase the speed and range of your Wi-Fi if you have a basic system. I have attached images of before and after speeds, pretty amazing. I’ve got a 3600 ft.² house built up and initially I couldn’t get Wi-Fi outside, now I get full signal and about 10 Mb per second download. Pretty amazing. Also the access point comes with Google assistant, very handy.

Indeed you have a massive house (over 2500 sq ft) or have a bunch of brick walls, the 2-pack version is probably enough. We purchased this over the Netgear Orbi for is contact design, ability to have Google Assistant and the fact we have a bunch or text that runs through the Google Home app. Pretty easy to set up and the wifi is solid.

Good overall coverage, my room is a dead spot so this really helped

Great product ez install Very Happy Will recommend to family and friends Also got it on sale

I love my Google nest. Ever since I purchased and connected, I stopped having a bad wifi connection. The only times it has lost connection is because my Spectrum router was completely down. I love it! It is easy to connect. As soon as I plugged it, the google home app did all the work. I know the price is a lot, but worth the purchase. Also, Google talks to you and she is super helpful. If you're thinking about it, just do it!

Google - Nest Wifi AC2200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-Pack) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Google’s Nest Wifi system has been a huge upgrade from my (fairly old) ASUS RT-N66U. One of the biggest differences has been going from a single-router to a mesh system with multiple access points to cover more square feet around my home. Initially I bought the 2-pack (Router and AP) but ended up expanding to another AP due to how satisfied I was with the product. Setting up the system is bar-none the easiest I’ve had to setup. Using Google Home’s app, it’s all automated and straight-forward as you go through the prompt. The only issue I had (which is definitely due to my laziness) is I shared the same SSID and PW with my current router and the new Nest...so of course I had issues getting it all paired up. But after I worked that out, the drop in was almost flawless. Speeds have been considerably faster on all of my WiFi devices (which I have quite a bit of) and I haven’t experienced any dropoff or inconsistent speeds since my installation. Arguably some of this could have been attributed to how WiFi signal dips as it goes through walls or other channels my neighbors are using...but nonetheless it has resolved a lot of what I was hoping it would fix. One personal gripe I have (which is a nonissue for most) is the hardline capabilities of the router itself. If hardline is required, you will have to get an unmanaged switch to fork the connections to allow for things such as ethernet runs or Powerline ethernet (which is how I hardline my computers in separate rooms). Unfortunately there’s only one output of ethernet on the back of the router, so some creativity might be involved with transitioning to this router. Onto the aesthetics, I don’t think there are many mesh systems that are as sleek and provide as much features as the Nest. Having a built-in Google Home essentially replaces the current Google Minis I have spread across rooms. Not just that, but the AP is pleasing on the eyes wherever they’re placed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *****Quick Features & Specs***** Each AP covers around 1600sq ft Dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz channels Built-in Google Assistant Ease of setup via Google Home App Lots of management options for the router (IE parental rules, or limiting bandwidth) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *****What's in the box***** Nest AC2200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi Router Nest AC1200 Dual-Band Access Point Ethernet Cable (6.5ft) Power Adapter (2x) Manual ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The best wifi router ever purchased it's nice and sexy!! And easy to install

Looooove it! I now have strong signal in my Glam Shed and garage!

If you are still using the wifi router provided to you by your internet service provider, chances are (unless you live in a very small house or apartment), that you are not completely happy with your wifi performance. Your signal can be strong in one room, and non-existent in the next. You may wish to sit “here”, but you can’t get a signal unless you move a few feet over “there”, where you don’t want to sit. You may have tried wifi repeaters or extenders in the past, but they basically just create a second network in your home with slow speeds and similar dead zones, forcing you to switch back and forth. Enter the Google Nest wifi router and “point” (what they call an extender). These small, semi/almost round devices that can fit in your hand create what’s called a “mesh” system where by connecting the Google router to your existing router, you can transfer the wifi functions to it, allowing it to send out stronger signals in both the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz frequencies simultaneously. The “point(s)” (very slightly smaller than the router itself) are set in other areas of your home, picking up the signal from the main Google router, and boosting them even further. Nicer still, they do not create a separate network in the same way older models do, but instead, extend the one you have. If you buy a pair (one being the main router and the other the point device), you have three choices of colors, but the router is always white – the point comes in three colors… Mist (a very pale blueish color), Sand (which to me looks Pink), and Snow (white). For large homes, you can also get a router and two points sets. You need to install the appropriate Google Home app to set the system up, and instructions for doing so are simple and included in the app, which works on Apple devices and Android. Provided there are no unforeseen hiccups, you should be up and running within minutes. I know a couple of other people with these devices aside from myself, and one of them did not even need the extra access point – the Google router alone provided stronger and faster wifi than their older one did. One of them has a multi-level home and they did use the point on another level, which did boost speeds and reliability in that area. For myself, the router speed dropped off once it reached the other side of the single level ranch style house, but the overall STRENGTH of it was stronger than my older model… no dead spots. Side-note: Your access point should you decide to use it, also doubles as a Google Assistant device, where you can ask it a variety of questions, control lights, and more with the appropriate equipment. I do recommend this system, but there is one warning involved – if you have some types of security cameras, doorbells, and devices that ONLY run on a 2.4 ghz frequency, some people can have an issue where they won’t connect, or they won’t stay connected, to a mesh system like this because it transmits on both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz at the same time. They get confused it seems. Now, RING (doorbells, cameras, etc) tech support can walk you through how to get around this. If you are lucky (very lucky) you can get a tech at ARLO to do this, too. Your success will vary and you may have to make more than one call if you do run into this issue, so just be prepared knowing that you MIGHT have to do this to ensure all of your devices work with it. Waving a finger at these other device makers though, they need to get with it and update their devices to work on all wifi frequencies, and better be able to detect, connect to, and maintain connection to, mesh networks. It’s not always the router’s fault – many times it’s the device makers not keeping their devices updated, and one rep with one of these companies even admitted to me they are behind in catching up to working with mesh networks. My one big complaint about the router itself, and it is a big one as others have pointed out, is that the Google router only has one “out” ethernet port on the back for extra devices. That’s it. Camera systems like Arlo require you plug their own hub into one of these. Perhaps you have smart bulbs that come with a small hub as well that need a port, or home phone service, etc. In my opinion, there really is NO excuse for Google only putting one extra ethernet port on this device. Just be aware of this because if you have various things that you currently have plugged directly into your old modem, you may need extra equipment if you are going to use this one to replace it entirely – and the point device has NO ethernet ports. It’s for this reason I won’t give this 5 stars, and really, would drop it to 3 ½ if I could. Yeah – big booboo, Google. Otherwise, yes, it’s a reliable system for those willing to do the tech call work to perhaps get some of their devices to work with it. But you will most likely be rewarded with a stronger wifi signal over greater ranges.

We had spotty wifi signal throughout the house and was planning on running cat5 to all the rooms including kitchen and dining area, this purchase was way cheaper than buying all the wire and materials and not even including time to finish all.

I had lots of issues with lag while gaming and since I got the google Nest WiFi I haven’t lagged once. The connection is double the speed I was getting before. Best purchase I’ve made this year. Pictured is the comparison of my speeds from before and after.

With satellite internet, we’ve had issues with coverage and download speeds. The Google Nest provides good coverage for WiFi. Adding Google Home allows us to pause devices, etc. However it does not help increase speed or stability of the connection.

My wifi router is on the far side of my house so I needed this to get better signal on the other end of the house. It worked as expected.

This router works great if you’re close to it or down have any walls in the way, as soon as you have anything like that, you’re screwed. In my apartment if you’re 15 feet from the router and through a wall, you will get nearly zero connection, when you have an unobstructed path you’re fine. Even my router for 2012 which I replaced was getting better speeds than this. Will be returning this tomorrow. Ease of use is just fine, super easy to setup, but trash afterwards.
