Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve used Google’s WiFi products since the OnHub and this generation is the best one yet… in terms of hardware. It’s fast and easy to use once it’s set up. The RANT: The Google Home app is actually a tragedy. The Google WiFi app from the past was such a great hub for setting up and configuring OnHub and Google WiFi devices. When we moved over to the Google Home app with the first Nest WiFi: wow what a disappointment, and the app continues to DISappoint. It’s ugly, hard to use and the worst part of all: If you are migrating from earlier Google/Nest WiFi products YOU HAVE TO FACTORY RESET YOUR WIFI SETTINGS. What the??? Yes, there’s no migration manager to take your settings forward so you have to start over! Remember your settings or all your devices will need to be reconfigured. Think of all those smart homes out there that are going to be in massive disarray! The Google Home app; I hate it! Okay, now the good part… Other than the dismal setup this wifi router rocks! I got the snow version of the Pro and wow is it shiny in comparison to the original Nest WiFi. It’s also about an inch taller and a bit less deep. I think the light is also brighter in its brightest configuration. We have a three story 2600 sq. ft. old brick house with a basement. Previously we had Google WiFi then upgraded to Nest WiFi with four pucks in our mesh. We generally don’t get good WiFi without a repeater or a mesh network because of our old style thick, solid walls. Hey, the speed of this router is tops. I have a 400Mb/s connection and I get at least 250Mb/s everywhere in the house. Normally in the corners, I’m glad to get 25Mb/s. WiFi 6E 6GHz is real, it’s here, and it’s fast! I bought another Pro to get our second floor fully covered in 5-bar WiFi goodness. I’m so surprised at the coverage of this product! Here’s the main reason why you’ll upgrade: The speed doesn’t really decrease with a huge amount of devices on your network. We have a smart home with over 100 devices at times sipping at the 2.4 & 5Ghz. Adding 6GHz really made a difference. Further, the way that Google manages the channels on each point allows for less clashing when you have a bunch connected. I’m impressed! I was able to turn my Nest cameras to higher rez and bandwidth without affecting my GoogleTVs and my laptops running Zoom and Google Meet video conferencing. During the time I ran the Nest WiFi Pro as single point and mesh, I didn’t lose connection at any time walking throughout the house with my cell phone in my back pocket and wearing headphones. From top floor to back stair and basement, the connection stayed solid. This is a solid, whole heartedly recommended product. I’m excited to know that this router supports and extends Thread which will be required if running Matter 1.0 in smart homes. Although Google doesn’t make any promises that there will be any functionality from Matter, I’m so stoked that there’s a possible future Thread extender or hub in this product! Pro: - Looks great, but the colors… they’re so subtle - Very reliable WiFi signal, you’ll need less pucks than with Google WiFi or the OG Nest WiFi - Keeps up with speed up to 1Gb/s, even with lots of devices. - Solid connection that doesn’t give up. Yes to 6GHz - Supports Thread protocol which should be interesting to smart home builders Cons: - Extremely frustrating setup if coming from previous Google WiFi products - The Google Home app is ugly and unfriendly compared to the OG Nest app or the old Google WiFi app - I severely dislike the Google Home app

When the new updated Google Mesh router was announced with 6e capabilities which are faster than regular Wi-Fi 6 speed I was excited to see which of my home devices would have increased speeds because of having a fiber Gigabit modem in my home which is a little larger than the recommended square footage of 2200 in the specs. A two-story home can be a challenge with possible dead zones but so far, the new Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e AX5400 Mesh Router has worked remarkably well throughout the home. I was impressed with how easy the setup process was for this latest Mesh system from Google since it basically had simple steps such as plugging in the power and downloading the Google Home app on an Android phone or an iPhone. I had two of the latest models of each type of phone operating system and had the applications already setup. The next step of setting up the Google Mesh system required to scan the QR code on the bottom of the light-colored unit. I tried repeatedly to scan the code with my new iPhone, but it would not recognize the code even with trying to use a flashlight to help illuminate the area. I then was relieved to instantly have success when I used my latest Android phone the Fold 4 which immediately found the code and moved along quickly in the final setup process. I decided to avoid conflicts with my existing fiber Gigabit modem/router and used the same SSID to prevent having to reset the home Wi-Fi settings on the dozens of devices that are connected to it. I was very happy to find that the important system settings in the Google Home app were easy to turn on or off depending on your own home best situation for security and if you can use all of the options such as the WAP3 security if most of your devices are compatible with it. The next option is using the 160 MHz for the maximum 5GHz utilization if all your devices are also compatible with it. The final option that I needed for my own personal system was to turn on IPv6 option since it is faster than the existing IPv4 option. I do not think this is a critical setting for most people unless they intend on using their system for a lot of gaming which would benefit more from the IPv6 option. I put my system through many tests due to the various operating systems and location of the devices plus the fact that some were laptops, iPads, and many streaming items that need plenty of bandwidth. I ran the Speedtest application on my phones and computers in different areas of the house and was pleased with the speeds that the new Google Mesh 6e Router was able to achieve. When I was in close proximity to the new mesh router I had the highest speeds I have ever seen on the two phones which was impressive being between 700-800 mbps. I am very happy with the new router and am pleased to see a new well executed product improvement that will benefit so many people.

Setup was simple than the prior. Great that each satellite is a switch miss that they had a built in google speaker but that’s ok. The speed is fantastic can’t speak much of the google home app but not a deal breaker. Great signal strength that works for my 3 story townhouse when the last nest wifi struggle with.

I have four of these placed throughout a 3100 square-foot home. The speed is lightning fast. We have multiple devices connected and streaming at the same time without a glitch. The performance is dramatically improved over the first generation. Installation was quick and easy.

Using the Google Home app is convenient enough, they work well when working properly but frequent drops after a couple weeks I can’t seem to figure out why and my old system doesn’t do it. I had a 3 mesh setup of Samsung Connect Home Pros before and the wifi speeds were terrible but the connection was solid and barely ever completely stopped working like these have been doing. Getting them to connect properly, even after looking up videos still took over an hour. Not to tout my own knowledge but I’ve worked in the tech industry for over a decade so I’m pretty versed in setting up networking equipment, and while the steps are simple…just getting them to actually find and complete setup was just annoying. Had to continually reboot and kept them right next to each other still had trouble connecting the mesh initially, it’d find it in the app but unable to setup for seemingly no reason…it finally just worked after numerous reboots. Overall the speeds are good but for the latest and greatest I was expecting the max speeds I can get. If I connect the LAN I have 600Mbps and with the Samsung’s I typically got 150-200Mbps wireless. With these I typically get 400-500Mbps. I’ve tried everything to figure out why the drop from the main router and have no idea. If I don’t have the mesh setup at all I get the full 600Mbps speeds but much shorter range of course. I am fine with those speeds, it’s the every other day disconnections that have become frustrating. Rebooting fixes it but no clue why the main unit cuts out from the connection to the modem. It’s definitely not the modem based on replugging in the Samsung’s for a few days and no issues. The range is good on them, the speeds are fine but certainly not impressive (I did try a doupble priced 2-pack Orbi and they had around 500Mbps speeds off the mesh but no issues disconnecting). I’m tempted to return these but I wanted to like them for the value. I don’t know if it’s defective or if the mesh is really that poor on the distance (each is about 20-25ft from each other) causing the random disconnects, not quite full speeds, and the bad taste from the initial experience I’m not real impressed.

To start this thing was more expensive than I wanted to spend, but I was so sick of WiFi dead zones in our 2 story house. This solved ALL WiFi issues!! I have solid 5 bars in every corner of our home. And maintain 95% of or internet speed at all times with many devices online at once. Setup was extremely easy and the WiFi is FAST, much faster than my internet connection lol. I would highly recommend if you have a large home and the extra cash.

After updating my internet service, I decided to update my old google wifi . I am very pleased. It was easy to setup and is definitely faster and the range is better.

The Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e AX5400 Mesh Router is the perfect mesh Wi-Fi for homes. For the past 5 years I have been using my internet providers router/modem combo and the signal was just not cutting it anymore, since I’ve added several 4K TVs that are all used for streaming. Since installing the Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e it has been a real eyeopener of just how bad my internet providers router was, immediately I noticed a huge increase in speeds for my Wi-Fi devices. On my old router I was getting about 25-40Mbps over Wi-Fi depending on where I was in my house, with the Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e AX5400 on the 5g signal I was getting up to 500Mbps and getting 600Mbps when plugged directly into the router to my PC and Xbox. Setup was a breeze in that you download the Google Home app on your phone and hit add new device and just plug router into your modem and follow the steps and boom your good to go. I have ordered the Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e AX5400 2-pack to give my home better coverage because I still have some weaker signal areas (getting about 100 Mbps now) in my home that I would like to take full advantage of the Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e AX5400. Do make sure you pair this with a 3.1 Cable modem, so that you get the best possible speeds, because if you get a 3.0 Cable modem you could end up bottle necking your router and not getting the speeds you are paying for. I recommend going with the Arris 3.1 Cable Modems because they work with all the major providers and its easy to set up also. Overall, I highly recommend upgrading to the Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6e AX5400 Mesh Router for anyone with a relatively big home to get the best speeds and it’s the best introductory price point for Wi-Fi 6e router, and since its mesh you can just add more of them to get the best possible coverage in home.

Very happy with purchase. Replaced a 5 year old TP-link router. Bought the 2 unit setup, with 1 placed in center of house near modem and 1 in a bedroom. First of all, installation was super easy - walked me through everything on the app on my iPhone. Everything worked without a hitch. Signal strength is better in many places in the house and dead spots gone. Downloads are faster. Connected one pc via Ethernet to the remote router in the bedroom and get download speed equal to my Verizon FIOS 300 max. We have not experienced any connection drops after using it for a week with remote work and streaming.

Setup was simple enough, but I did notice it would have trouble booting again after any power outages. It would take about two or three power cycles (unplug and plug in) to finally boot fully. Signal strength and coverage is ok for the price. It's currently placed downstairs in a small townhouse. I have noticed drops in bars on my laptop every so often, but it's bearable. I think there are better options for the money, but the Google ecosystem makes it easy to keep track of and updates are automatic. Great for small homes or apartments, but get a multi pack if you want better performance.

Next Pro WiFi has exceeded my expectations! The setup was straightforward, and the signal strength is fantastic throughout my home. I’ve experienced no drops in connection, and the speed is consistently fast. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their home network.

I generally like Google products, and the Nest Wifi Pro is great. The mesh wifi is fantastic throughout my home. Relatively easy to set up and manage via the Home app, and supports many features for managing the wifi for my teens. However, after a year and a half of moderate to heavy use, the main router stopped working. No internet connection, no connection to the satellites. I spent 3.5 hrs on the phone with Google customer support, and never reached a solution. Factory reset and re-setup more times than I care to remember, but still nothing. The final solution was to purchase a new Google Nest Wifi Pro, which was this purchase I am reviewing. The new unit setup easily and worked great immediately. To be fair, Google offered me a $50 credit for the hassle, but that was not nearly enough to cover replacement of a product that should have lasted much longer. SO, works great when it works. I'm hoping my previous purchase was just a dud and that this time will last a while longer...

Bought and installed this in a new home where my garage and the living areas were further away from one another and the Nest Wifi Pro was able to get signal through different floors and walls so we can get updates to our Tesla. Installation was simple and the mesh network synced up without issue. Have not experience any drop outs while using the mesh router and speeds are fast (depending on your ISP). Also appreciate the simplicity of setting up a guest network.

This WIFI Extender with the key getting a good initial lication fir the first link in the newtork. Based upon the location of th 2nd one you must find a good spot especiall when it will reside upstairs. The 3rd is easy as a broad area is available to reach rest of any spot is the w50p st ft plus home. Yes think wals play a factor so just get the main link in a hreat spot. The white blends on well as you really dont notice it in a room.

Upgraded from an Eero mesh router that was less than two years old. My speed tripled and a I am now able to realize what I am paying for from my ISP. Setup is very easy although I think their old app that I used with a previous system was easier to navigate and more intuitive. I also have several devices like a Traeger grill that would not connect to Eero. No problem with Nest.

Just watch for sales. Setup was rather straight forward. I read conflicting info about what few QoS rules and network shaping is available and experienced dismal, unusable performance while using the sole ethernet port. A lengthy support call with google and all seems well. I occasionally have terrible signal strength on Wi-Fi when > 20 steps away and around a corner from the device. Downstairs it has gone from 1/5 signal strength to a slight interruption and suddenly 5/5 strength. Still overall pretty satisfied with it.

I've used the Google Wi-Fi products for years now. I started with the Google Wi-Fi suite, then moved on to my Nest Wifi. And now I've moved on to the Nest Wifi Pro 6e hardware. As with the previous versions, this product does not disappoint. It is fast, easy to deploy, and it's coverage is outstanding. Thumbs up!

I bought this set because my old mesh router died. This is rated for 4400 square feet, so I figured the two would suffice. The set covers my house very well (3600 sq ft) and was easy to set up All my devices connected seamlessly. You may want to move the satellite one around a little so you cover your place optimally. Note that they both look the same and I assume they work identically, although one is going to be the connection to your Internet service, so the other one will serve as the satellite access point.

Product work as expected. However, there are some drops in connection here and there. Not as much as it used to, which tells me they still need some system update to fix all the issues. But signal and speed, you cant go wrong with this product.
