What an utter piece of garbage this product it. No instructions at all included. Once you figure out to go through the google home app it takes you through a myriad of steps only to fail repeatedly with no tech support option. Best Buy should stop selling such garbage

My object arrived broken (shipped to my home).. operates properly. But, the item arrived in two when unboxed.. inside plastic that connects two pieces was shattered, but what kept it working was the wires keeping it together. I was in need of the item I purchased that I just kept it. But, I’m very disappointed & unsatisfied.

My home office is my travel trailer. But I don't have an ethernet cable to my camper so I rely on wifi. Since my camper has a metal shell and my house is concrete block the wifi signal is very poor out there, until now.
Before we get into the rest know that wifi4 is 802.11n, wifi5 is 802.11ac and wifi6 is 802.11ax for those of us familiar with the older nomenclature.
I purchased this generation of the Google Wifi on purpose because of the available backhaul (ethernet cable) connection. Thinking if the signal wouldn't penetrate the metal shell of the camper I'd run a wire out to it. Turns out that is not a problem at all! Plus the big gains are at Wifi7 and the 6ghz signal but that has a really short range so it wouldn't reach my camper anyway and I'd be connecting on 5ghz or 2.4ghz so it'd be newer hardware on the older standard. Why pay for the newer standard when I won't use it?
As for speed, this is rated for 1.2Gbps. That's a lot of speed, more than enough so actual performance depends on your ISP and what other issues you have in your house that could limit your speed.
Installation was really easy. Download the app on your phone and it walks you through the process. All three of these pucks are the same, so just grab one as your starting point and install it where the modem is. You can connect these with an ethernet cable (aka backhaul cable) but I did not. I installed one in the living room in the center of the house. I installed one in the far corner of the kitchen and one in the far bedroom (nearest my camper) so these are in kind of a diagonal line across my home. The first one took maybe 5 minutes to install and the other two take half that time. You are supposed to mount these high up but one of mine is low and the other two are medium and it works great.
My signal in the camper/office is great. Before I would have brief dropped connections all the time and bandwidth was definitely impacted, now it is stable and quick. My desk is about 35 feet from the puck but that is through a concrete block wall and a metal camper shell. I was really worried about the metal camper shell since that really is a big hinderance to wireless signals but it's been great.
Honestly, I would go with a good brand Wifi5 over an unknown brand wifi6 or wifi7.
All in all, fantastic product. Works great and don't be turned off that it is wifi5. If you are looking I would go with either wifi5 or wifi7. While wifi6 is good I don't think it's worth the hype or expense compared to wifi5. Wifi7 though has a lot of newer/better features so if you can use wifi7 it's worth the upgrade. That's my $0.02, hopefully that helps you

I recently upgraded my home network with the Google WiFi Mesh Router 3-pack in White, and I must say, it has completely transformed my internet experience. Google has established itself as a leader in the tech industry, and their WiFi Mesh Router lives up to the company's reputation for innovation and reliability.
First and foremost, the setup process was an absolute breeze. The Google WiFi app guided me through every step, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free installation. Within minutes, I had the mesh network up and running, providing a strong and stable connection throughout my home.
The sleek and minimalistic design of the routers in white is visually appealing and blends effortlessly with any decor. The compact size allows for discreet placement, and each unit can be strategically positioned to maximize coverage. The set of three routers provides comprehensive coverage, eliminating dead zones and ensuring a consistent signal in every corner of my house.
One of the standout features of the Google WiFi Mesh Router is its ability to create a seamless and uninterrupted network. The routers communicate with each other, forming a mesh network that enables a smooth transition as I move around the house. Whether I'm streaming movies, playing online games, or conducting video calls, the transition between routers is seamless, ensuring a stable connection without any noticeable drops or buffering.
The AC1200 wireless standard ensures fast and reliable internet speeds. Even with multiple devices connected simultaneously, I experienced minimal lag and high-performance connectivity. Streaming 4K content and downloading large files became a seamless experience, thanks to the router's ability to handle heavy bandwidth demands effortlessly.
The Google WiFi app is a standout feature, allowing me to have complete control over my network. From setting up guest networks to managing parental controls and monitoring device usage, the app offers a user-friendly interface that caters to both tech-savvy users and those who prefer simplicity. The app also provides insights into network performance, enabling me to identify and resolve any potential issues quickly.
Another advantage of the Google WiFi Mesh Router is its compatibility with smart home devices. With an increasing number of IoT devices in my home, I appreciate the router's ability to handle the demands of a connected home seamlessly. From smart speakers to security cameras and smart thermostats, the router ensures a reliable connection for all my devices, promoting a truly interconnected home experience.
In terms of reliability and stability, the Google WiFi Mesh Router excels. The network remains consistent even during peak usage hours, delivering consistent speeds and reliable performance. The routers automatically update themselves, ensuring that I always have the latest features and security enhancements without any manual intervention.
In conclusion, the Google WiFi Mesh Router 3-pack in White is a game-changer for home networking. With its simple setup process, comprehensive coverage, seamless transition, and reliable performance, it has surpassed my expectations. The user-friendly app and compatibility with smart home devices further enhance its appeal. If you're looking to upgrade your home network and experience seamless connectivity throughout your space, I highly recommend investing in the Google WiFi Mesh Router. Say goodbye to dead zones and hello to a robust and efficient internet experience!

The Google mesh routers are the easiest to set up. If you're router is a couple of years old, you need this. You will be surprised how your Up-load will increase. I have the main one ( any one of the 3 units are the same) in my shop, #2 in the house 156 ft away, and #3 is 65 ft away from #2. And full signal. I have seen posts that state it will not work on 4g. IT Does! I have several old 4g devices and they connected, no problem.Also, when you set them up Just slight re-positioning of these babies will make a big increase in signal strength. Most important, my Wife is happy that their not ugly looking upside down spiders.

I now have 5 of these throughout my house and I can get about 6 houses away before my phone disconnects. THis system runs all of my smart bulbs, plugs, cameras, wireless devises, desktop, heater and TV without breaking a sweat. I know its older and there are newer models out there, but this works great with the devices that require 2.5 Ghz connection.
Easy to set up with the google home app, easy to control, can even set the brightness of the light band around the outside.

The Google Nest Wifi (Google Mesh) is a reliable and easy-to-use mesh Wi-Fi system that delivers strong, consistent coverage throughout your home. It’s simple to set up via the Google Home app and includes built-in Google Assistant in some models. While it lacks advanced customization options, it’s a great choice for seamless, whole-home Wi-Fi with minimal hassle.

I have had two other wifi extenders/hubs but they didnt really work at the same speed and would only connect on the 2g band, but the google wifi actually works great and gave me a 20 mbps boost on my connection. My game doesn’t lag anymore and I can prioritize which hub gets better connection !

Great little gadgets, gives me great wireless throughout the whole home, and wired connections where necessary! No more the days of having to keep your computer near the main wifi router, this mesh system definitely keeps the speed up through the whole home and gives me extended range outside! Definitely recommend!

I purchased two of these Google WiFi units to add to one I already had. Finally got tired of managing my network using more complicated firewall, bridge, and APs. Setting these up in my home was a piece of cake and now I am consistently getting over 450 MBPS throughout the entire house. True, these units don't have all the bells and whistles, but the reality is they work great for small home networks. You'll need to locate the units strategically to maximize the coverage, but if you can do that you will not have any issues. Just about the only thing I'd want these units to allow is configuration from a wired PC, but apparently that's not an option. Other than that I am pleased with their performance.

If you are looking for a mesh wifi system that will provide coverage throughout your home that's also VERY easy to setup and use? This is the one. Period. The Google Wifi app takes you through setting up these nodes every step of the way. Just plug in the first node to your modem via the included ethernet cable, then plug in the power adapter.
After that, download the Google Wifi app. It will have you scan the QR code on the bottom and handles it from there. The 2 additional nodes just need to be plugged into a power outlet. The app will then walk you through adding them to your mesh network. Once you are done with initial setup, the nodes will preform and update and you are good to go.
For optimal coverage, I placed node 2 in my basement and node 3 on my upper level. The system will intelligently communicate to maintain optional performance and seamlessly transition your device from node to node as you walk around your house.
A nice perk is each node also has a local network jack. So if you wanted to connect a device via ethernet, you can do that. I hooked up my laser printer to the node in my basement. Works beautifully.
The app for these units is very useful. You can see usage details per device, which are currently active, as well as set priority, block, and restart the network.
In conclusion, if you are looking for something that's easy to setup and also "set it and forget it", this is about as close as you can get.

I bought this for my in-laws to help them with their router and coverage issues. Just like ar our place we have never had any issues with these. They cover well through the 2nd floor as well. Our modems at both places are downstairs but the mesh does very well capturing the signal and keeping it strong. You lose mbs down going through floors but no latency or capacity to make any issue. The modem is also self reliant doing updates ok itself as needed from google. Sometimes comcast modem or service has an issue and i may need to unplug the main router hosting the modem to reset the wifi but maube 1-2 times a year this happens.Highly recommend a google mesh router system i believe u can buy them 1 at a time but i have gotten the 3 pack for the 2 floor homes and makes amazing coverage and signal.

Great product and super simple setup. Got it for my mother in law who had a terrible router. She has he same starter internet but no has more coverage and consistent speed. She’s a little old school and hates devices with microphones. It was nice to be able to disable the mic and just use the router functionality.
