Google Nest Wifi Mesh Router

This is the best mesh system on the market in my opinion. If you want full coverage and seamless transition from one access point to another without connections dropping/restarting, this is the best. I also like the coverage I get and the expandability. Each access point will provide good coverage, but when you add more access points, suddenly your entire house gets wifi with no dead zones. I used to have the old Google Mesh system and it was good from a coverage standpoint, but it just was too slow for my family’s ever-growing bandwidth needs.

I briefly tried Eero, but it was just a horrible experience. My son’s games were dropping connections and movies were stopping to reload, so I purchased this one and never looked back. The complaints about the gaming systems dropping connections or having too slow of a speed just melted away. I truly don’t hear a peep from my son about any of that. My movies have no issues anymore and all is well.

My favorite 2 things are SPEED and COVERAGE. Nothing else seems to match it.

Okay, now the downside. Google *still* won’t allow you to separate the 2.4ghz band from the 5ghz band. Several others won’t allow you to do it either (see TP Link’s mesh as an example, however, they do provide a workaround using the “guest” network, where Google does not). This becomes an issue with IoT devices that only will work on the 2.4ghz band.

I have a Schlage Encode lock and it will only work on the 2.4ghz band. So, I had to get creative to make it work. For those of you with this issue, what I had to do was use my cell phone to walk away from the access point far enough to force my phone into a 2.4ghz connection. Since 2.4ghz works better through walls/obstacles than 5ghz, the more you can “put in the way” between your IoT device and the access point, the more likely it is that your phone will be forced into a 2.4ghz connection. You can check what connection your phone is using by going to the Google Home App / Wifi / Devices / then find your phone which is marked by “(this device)” next to the phone name. Click on your phone and just a little down you’ll see “Connection” and that will tell you whether you’re using 2.4ghz or 5ghz. Once you make sure you are on the 2.4 band, start your IoT device setup. Once you set that up, then you can move the device back to the final location you want to have it and (hopefully) it will continue connecting to the 2.4 band like mine did.

PLEASE GOOGLE, FIX THIS ISSUE.

Other than that one thing, I do love this product!

I like that this works with my existing nest points. It doesn’t support WiFi 6 or the newer Pro line of routers from google. But I have lots of the older version so I wanted to increase my coverage. These are discontinued so buy them while you can.

Really boosts the wifi a lot. We have a two story house (around 1300 sqft) and the internet router is in the basement.

With the old wifi extender we were getting high speeds through the wired connection downstairs but never anything great through wifi (wifi seemed to be a quarter of what the wired speed was).

After plugging in the first google nest it was immediately clear the signal was boosted a lot. (Speed tests in main level were much higher, at 2 to 4 times better than before) and I added a second nest on the main floor to boost the signal upstairs. That signal strength went from pretty low (with a different wifi extender) to very similar speeds the main floor was seeing.

So far worth the money as a relatively cost effective solution to poor wifi from the internet provider router.

Funciona a la perfección.
Note la diferencia de la intensidad y alcance desde el primer momento. Ya que vivo en una casa de doble piso, el mesh point permitió que el internet llegara y lo disfrutará como nunca.
Y por si fuera poco, el buffer del mesh point, suena increíble.
Una gran compra sin duda. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
