Added For Additional Coverage
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an additional wifi point bringing my total to 2 in my home. This went in the back bedroom of our house to extend the wifi better to that room as well as the Nest Cam on our back patio. It does the job just fine! Sometimes the wifi point will drop connection maybe once a so every 6-8 weeks. Power cycling it fixes it but my other point does the same from time to time so I think it could also be a update or just a nice reminder to restart my wifi network since you should do it frequently lol. It does reconnect right away though. Deducted a star for that but that is it.

Reliable WiFi extended that is easy to setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a two pack best wifi (router + extender) and and ended up getting another extender to fill gaps. Overall I wish they offered color options for 3 pack, as this caused me to split purchase. The router was expensive for not offering Google mini functionality. Wished router offered this. The extenders are well worth the price on special though. The speaker and mic quality is a bit better than Google minis but less than Google home. If you dedicated to the google Cast ecosphere, this is a good companion. I ended up moving my 1st gen minis to other locations and this proved better at mic and speaker output. With all that aside, I had original Google wifi and this was an upgrade for reliability and range. For best quality, the WiFi repeaters do need to be close in range. However the range of the Nest Wifi repeaters was much greater than google Wifi repeaters. My biggest frustration is the lack of Ethernet ports on the Nest Wifi vs Google Wifi. A hope they have a second generation that allows for Ethernet ports and WiFi 6 tech. I have 300 Mbps up and down, but speeds do seem limited to 120 Mbps over extenders. I get that for most cases, you would never ever use more than 120 Mbps or single point, but that is changing. Google should be at forefront of this technology instead of chasing. Overall easy WiFi mesh install, evolving app controls, great replacement for minis and expands upon the google WiFi Range. Downfalls are lack of Ethernet ports on extenders, no color options in 3-pack, limited functionality on router vs extenders, and no WiFi 6. Is it worth it? If you don’t have Google WiFi already and you are committed to the google ecosphere, yes. If you already have google WiFi or using Alexa, not so much.

Perfect Option for Network Expansiom
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great product for someone that is looking for a decent and easy way to expand coverage throughout their home. We found this to work out well, however, we do have issues with the internet going in and out - sometimes needing to be reset. This was the expansion to our original purchase of the router plus one point, which was not enough to cover our 3100 sq foot home.

Google Nest Wifi Add-on Point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The google Nest Wifi Add-on Point does extend the range of my wifi and was easy to install. Unfortunately, it took 10 days to arrive from Best Buy Google Nest even after I paid for 2 day shipping

My wifi is on POINT
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although a bit pricey, the Google point has made such a big difference in my apartment's internet speed! It pairs nicely with the Google Nest, but again I think that the $300+ bundle price is a bit much and I probably wouldn't have purchased it if I could find cheaper alternatives. At the end of the day, the product works as specified so no complaints there! I also love the built in speaker function. The sleek design also fits nicely with my room's aesthetic and doesn't look like a bulky router. Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

Works well, but......
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up and to get going with it. Mesh works a lot better than other network extenders I have tried. HOWEVER... if you have a more than basic wifi setup you may experience issues. In my case, it appears to be assignment of IP addresses by both the mesh and by the ISP provided equipment (modem from my cable company). I have an IT guy that works with my system and hopefully he will get things worked out. But until it is, my home security cameras either can be from the inside wifi network or from outside that network, coming in on the internet, but not both.

Great Overall with one minor issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google nest point has been a great addition to our network overall. It's easy to set up and I absolutely love that it can be used as a home assistant. Very cool feature. The only thing i don't like are the random disconnects. A few times a week my network will go out for a few minutes or slow down and I have to reset and/or reconnect the points. I've noticed by searching online that this is a common issue with the Google nest units.

Does it's job so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Work as it should, extends our wifi signal while serving as a mini google home. I like the rounded out shape and color makes it easy decor. You can also buy a plug holder to hang it on an outlet or simply just use it to tidy up cords and rest on a surface. Will say though felt its google home is a bit less sensitive than the one without wifi extender. Sometimes I will have to call out "hey google" few times to get it to recognize.

A great solution for our non-typical situation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second add-on point I've purchased to go with the Nest WiFi system, which came with two points. Our wifi has to serve both our house and the guest house in the backyard. The guest house was getting a weak signal until I added the fourth, which increased the signal strength substantially. The mesh wifi system is dependable and rarely has a problem.

Works great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nest Wi-Fi add on point was easy to set up through the app. Connected to my Nest router easily. Set up towards the back of my house so that the signal strength reached to outside security cameras around the house. Sleek design, speaker is nice and the light at the bottom is a nice touch. Bought separately from my Nest router, however I would recommend buying the router and points together.

Good addition to our network
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had 3 in the house already, but our wifi was still weak at one end (our house is long and narrow). Adding one more range extender got the wifi in my new home office to full strength instantly. Couldn't be happier and now my video conferences are trouble-free.

Works well to extend the wifi range
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I bought this to reach an area that wifi was struggling to reach. Works well to extend the wifi range and also if you use the Google Assistant it has that feature built into the wifi point as well.

Great product that has strong and consistent signa
||Posted .

Posted .Hi JoeF, thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear about the coverage issue with your Nest Wifi.
Each Nest Wifi point can cover up to an estimated coverage of 1600 sq ft. Here are some recommended steps you can try out:
- In general, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. Also, having a clear line of sight gives the network better coverage.
- It’ll be easier to strategically place them in a way that avoids obstructions, like heavy furniture and walls made of thick concrete or brick for a better signal.
- Line of sight: Points perform better when they can find each other. Repositioning the points to avoid obstructions like walls, doors, and aquariums can improve performance.
- Placement: Place the devices somewhere off the ground, such as on a shelf, can greatly improve coverage.
- Consider the overall mesh network: Points depend on each other to provide great coverage in your home. In order to fix a particular weak point, you may need to move a different Wifi point in order to fix it.
We'd be happy to have a look at the issue and see how we can assist you further. You´re more than welcome to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/wifi/gethelp
