A:AnswerWe have ATT internet in a 3000 square foot house. The ATT router was not extending the signal to the second floor far corner of the house, which was as far away from the router as possible. One Google router was helpful and should work well for an apartment. Two paired routers covers the 3000 sq. ft. footprint excellently.
A:AnswerYou connect one of the devices near your router with the lead going to that. The 2nd point needs power and connect that, through the Google Wifi app to the mesh network.
A:AnswerNot at all. I haven't experienced any drop on the speed on the little more than 2 months since I got it (I'm using Frontiers 50/50).
Quite the opposite actually, the connection has been more uniform and stable. I use it for gaming, 4k streaming, smart home-ing(?) and just regular web browsing with no issues at all.
A:AnswerHmm. Here's my best assessment. The Google Wifi Mesh will communicate with your internal devices as fast as those devices are able to communicate wirelessly. However, once the data goes past the Mesh and out of your house to the Internet, it will only be as fast as your internet connection allows. So, if you communicate internally between your desktop/laptop to another device that's also internal, it will likely be as fast as heck. However, the fast Google Wifi will be stunted as soon as it leaves your house if you have a slow internet connection.
Hope this makes sense.
A:AnswerYou can connect one device to the primary Google wifi point via Ethernet cable. We purchased an inexpensive switch and connected this to the primary Google wifi point. We connected our Vonage VOIP device to the switch and a Western Digital “My Cloud” network hard drive to the switch. All work flawlessly. So if you only have the Ooma system, you could just connect it up to the output Ethernet plug on the primary Google Wifi point. If you have other devices, you can buy a switch and connect that to the Google wifi and then connect the devices to the switch. Since they are DOWNSTREAM of the Google wifi point, they will all be on the same network.
A:AnswerYou don't need any router. The node you plug into your internet connection cable becomes the main node. The rest of the nodes automatically find the closest active node and connect to that. You get essentially the same performance across the entire mesh geography. A really great product in my opinion.
A:AnswerYes, as long as your Hughesnet Satellite, has an Ethernet Port (a big version of a telephone connector). If your Hughesnet uses USB, then you are out of luck. Well maybe not out of luck, but you will have a more complicated setup to use any Wireless Access Points.
A:AnswerMine is handling 10 devices at a time. Internet does slow down at times .it is not the device but the service provider who is asking me to upgrade if I connect those many devices.
A:AnswerYou will need an ethernet cable to plug into this router. I would expect some kind of modem would be needed to translate the fiber into an appropriate medium to plug into the router. At the end of the day, this is like any other router you would use, such as a linksys or airport.
