Looks like the wifi connection has improved so far compared to my previous router but once in a while I'm still seeing poor connection for one device which is very close to the wifi point. Not sure why one device connection is different!

Had wifi problems with what Xfinity offered. So we bought this and it fixed our wifi issue as an extension. Also very convenient that it is a google assistant.

The mesh network has doubled my WiFi stream and has blanketed my entire home.
The AP also has Google Assistant installed with mic and speaker so works like the Nest Mini.

What an improvement these made to my wifi!
My previous wifi router was not getting the job done. I was getting about 1/10th of the wifi speed I'm paying for. With the Google Nest Wifi Mesh system, I'm getting faster wifi than I'm paying for. I went from 10 Mbps to 115 Mbps and it's amazing.
My smart TV would buffer and sometimes stop the stream on shows and movies, my laptop was frustrating to load pages or just emails. Not anymore. The photo attached is a speed test done on my wifi connected laptop which is as fast as the direct ethernet connection my son gets on his gaming desktop. Our cell phones, the PS4 and TV all show getting the same speeds on wifi.
The router took a little bit to set up, the point was effortless.
I bought a network switch to use with it as I have hubs for smart lights and cameras and the router has only one ethernet port other than the one that connects to the modem.
It did take quite some time to get everything connected back up to the wifi but it was well worth it to get the speed. The router will detect the best way to connect. My smart lights connect via 2.4 only and there is no way to manually set it, but it was not a problem as it detected it automatically. I did have to unlink everything that was not Google, and relink them to get them connected.
I've had no more buffering or getting kicked out of streaming.
The Google Assistant Speaker works the same as the Google minis I have around the house, with better sound quality.
I would recommend this system to anyone wanting to improve their wifi speeds.

I am very dissatisfied with them. I get full speeds on the router but very slow speeds on the pods. The pods also disconnect all the time it will say good connection then weak and lose internet. Its literally 25" away. It says to move it closer but then it would be in the same room

Hello there, thanks for giving us your feedback on Nest Wifi, and we’re sorry to learn of your poor experience with the performance and connectivity of the Nest Wifi points.
It is important to check the placement of your Wi-Fi router and point, which are vital to have reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. For 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 part way in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf.
It may also be helpful to try the following steps to see if the Wi-Fi performance 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.

Hi there ImperialPhysiques, we appreciate your insights on Nest Wifi. We're sorry to hear about the constant connectivity drops you're experiencing with it.
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.

Google has removed all the ports for the extra 2/3 nodes. Last model allowed you to plug a cable in and run a switch for hardware that needs to be hardwired into a hub. This is a huge disappointment as it was not listed anywhere and not clearly available that these do not have any ports. The old models do have ports! Shame

Set up was a snap. Plugged in opened Google Home, added product, scanned QR code, and it was up and running.
WiFi was maxed out at my LAN speed which was 50/50 up and down. Range even penetrated to my 2nd floor with ease.
Google commands were easy to use and to link to my other devices.
Nice white color. Sleek and subtle.
I would highly recommend this product.

The Best Mesh Router System for Your Smart Home

I've been using the Nest Wi-Fi mesh router system for over a year now, and I'm incredibly impressed with it. It's the best mesh router system I've ever used, and it's perfect for my smart home.
The Nest WiFi router and points are all very stylish and sleek. They blend in well with my décor, and they're not too big or bulky. The router and points are also very easy to set up and use. I was able to get the entire system up and running in less than 10 minutes.
The Nest WiFi mesh router system provides excellent coverage throughout my home. I have a 3,000-square-foot home, and I have no problems getting a strong Wi-Fi signal in every room. The Nest Wifi system is also very fast and reliable. I've never had any problems with buffering or dropped connections.
In addition to its excellent performance, the Nest Wi-Fi mesh router system also has a number of other features that I love. For example, the Nest Wi-Fi points can be used as smart speakers. This means that I can use them to control my smart home devices with Google Assistant. I can also use the Nest Wi-Fi app to see who's connected to my network, test my internet speed, and set up guest Wi-Fi networks.
Overall, I'm extremely happy with the Nest WiFi mesh router system. It's the best mesh router system I've ever used, and it's perfect for my smart home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use mesh router system.

I purchased this WiFi mesh set because of the constant failure of my ISP’s WiFi to maintain a consistent speed and connection throughout my house. Google’s system has solved every issue I had with the old WiFi. No loss of signal, no dead spots in the far corners of the house, and best of all...when there is a lot of company staying at the house, I can use the app to prioritize my devices so they don’t slow down too much (a feature I wasn’t even aware of when I bought it). I have since learned you can even create another SSID for your kids and then set a time for it to go off, thereby preventing your kids from sneaking around and using their devices in the middle of the night to play games or watch YouTube. And because I have fiber internet, I didn’t even need a modem. I just plugged the Google Nest right into the network and, BOOM, instant internet. It really is a set it and forget it type system. The only people for whom I wouldn’t recommend this product are those that are more advanced in networking and would like the ability to take a deeper dive into the setting of their home WiFi network. This is more a system for those who want to set it up once, and then forget about it...and it accomplishes that goal beautifully!

As a tech enthusiast seeking to optimize my home network, I recently invested in the Nest WiFi Router AC2200, along with one additional access point. This mesh Wi-Fi system promised to provide seamless coverage and improved internet performance throughout my home. After thorough testing and usage, I am excited to share my review of this powerful networking solution.
Performance and Coverage:
The Nest WiFi Router AC2200, combined with the additional access point, delivered exceptional performance and extended coverage. I was pleasantly surprised to experience a significant improvement in internet speed and stability across all corners of my house, including previously weak signal areas. Streaming, gaming, and video conferencing became smooth and uninterrupted, even with multiple devices connected simultaneously.
Ease of Setup:
Setting up the Nest WiFi system was incredibly straightforward. The Google Home app guided me through the installation process step-by-step, making it user-friendly even for those with limited technical expertise. Within minutes, both the router and access point were up and running, creating a seamless mesh network that automatically optimizes device connections for the best performance.
Parental Controls and Guest Network:
The parental control features in the Google Home app were a welcome addition, allowing me to manage and limit internet access for specific devices or users. This feature proved especially valuable for maintaining a healthy balance of screen time for my family. Additionally, the guest network functionality provided a secure and separate network for visitors, ensuring their devices were isolated from my primary network.
Smart Home Integration:
As part of the Google ecosystem, the Nest WiFi system seamlessly integrated with other Google devices, such as Google Assistant-enabled speakers and smart home devices. I could easily manage my network settings and perform voice commands to prioritize specific devices or check network status, adding to the convenience and versatility of the system.
Design and Aesthetics:
The Nest WiFi Router AC2200 boasts a sleek and minimalist design that blends seamlessly with my home decor. Its unobtrusive appearance ensures it can be placed anywhere without drawing unnecessary attention. The compact form factor of the access point allows for easy placement in any room where coverage enhancement is required.
Reliability and Stability:
During my extended usage, the Nest WiFi system proved to be reliable and stable. The devices maintained a consistent connection, and I experienced no unexpected dropouts or disruptions. The self-healing feature of the mesh network automatically rerouted connections if one access point encountered any issues, ensuring uninterrupted internet access.
Conclusion:
The Nest WiFi Router AC2200, coupled with one access point, has surpassed my expectations as a powerful and seamless home networking solution. Its exceptional performance, extended coverage, ease of setup, and smart home integration make it a top choice for users seeking an efficient and reliable Wi-Fi system. Whether you have a large home or simply desire a robust internet connection throughout your living space, the Nest WiFi Router AC2200 and access point combination is a valuable investment that brings an impressive level of convenience and stability to your home network.

I have Xfinity Internet at 1200 Mbps. Obviously those speeds can never be achieved in reality. The average is 800-900 Mbps on wifi. Which is excellent. Originally I tried using the "pods" directly from Comcast, but they were a dismal failure. I decided to try the Google nest mesh system instead. This is an excellent product, very easy to use, good coverage of a 3000 sq home, I bought another wifi point, and speeds are more than enough for anything, including online gaming. I can't comment on long term reliability, but so far no complaints.

I've been using the Google Nest WiFi system purchased from Best Buy for several months now, and overall, I am very satisfied with its performance. The setup was straightforward, and the coverage throughout my home is excellent. The speed and reliability of the connection have significantly improved compared to my previous router.
However, there are a couple of minor issues worth mentioning. During power outages, the system sometimes doesn't reconnect automatically, requiring a manual restart. Additionally, one of the access points occasionally needs to be restarted to maintain a stable connection.
Despite these small inconveniences, the Google Nest WiFi system is a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home network. The user-friendly interface, combined with the strong and consistent coverage, makes it a great investment. I highly recommend it, with just a bit of patience for the occasional restart.

Amazing Upgrade

As a longtime owner of the previous generation Google WIFI, I’m definitely impressed with this surprising update. Setup was a breeze and the results speak for themselves.
The previously required Google WIFI app still has a place when needing advanced routing features like reservations, port forwarding, etc... However, it’s no longer a requirement. You can see critical information, manage family WIFI settings, see devices and retrieve passwords from within the Google Home app, along with all your other google smart home integrated products.
With the 2 unit kit, one router and one access point, I was able to cover my entire home without issue. The documentation claims that 2 units can handle up to 3800 square feet – so no surprise my 2000 + backyard was no issue. Placement is key, so make sure take consideration when setting them up.
The icing on the cake, at least for me, is that the access points are also Google Home Minis. What a great extra little feature for people like myself who have one in every room. I was able to place the access point in the back of the house and finally finish my full house audio setup.
