Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had the Asus Ac 5300 for about 2 years. Great router for gaming, but doesn't cover the 5,000 sq ft that it advertises. Maybe it does, but my walls are insulated with foam and I was hardly getting a bar in my garage area (2900sq) to connect my 2 garage doors to wifi. I made a decision to buy another Asus router to mesh. I bought the AC 2900 and it really changed the game, but now I was about $500-600 invested. The routers didn't look attractive at all since we moved to a newer modern home so I invested in these tiny Google routers and boy are they a game changer. Now I don't worry about updates or any problems what so ever. I am very glad I finally made the move to this new system after many years with Asus. They are worth every penny and more! I highly recommend these to anyone that wants superior wifi coverage and speeds.

Great router, love how it extends the signal throughout house so we get as great speed in one room as the other! Easy setup as well.

Not only excelent performance, but extremely easy to use. One is the main router, the other an extender. The extender has a google assistant speaker built in. I have a total of 5 units in my system and you can just keep adding. My house is 3000 sf and covers with 5 bars everywhere. I even have one outside in the pool area.

I needed to update my wifi router, so I researched the mesh wifi routers. I also love the android software over apple, I had just switched my phone from Iphone to Google Pixel 5. However I was skeptical of how good the Google Nest would be. Researching through many routers Google kept showing up as rating in top 5 of many reviews. I decided to buy it. I have no regrets. First let me explain my setup. We live in an apartment building where you see many wifi setups using similar channels from the people living above or below or across from your apartment, this can cause interference hence your wifi speed suffers. With my older router I had to manually change the wifi channel used to communicate with all the devices in my apartment. This would help temporarily increase my wifi speeds. However it was a pain to have to do this manually. I pay for 100 MBPS internet, and I was averaging 60-75 MBPS on wifi, higher if I was using ethernet wire directly to the router. The farthest room had low wifi signal and would only get at best 20 MBPS. With Google Nest I am getting beyond the speed I pay. This is possible because Google Nest is constantly monitoing the best wifi channel, and will automatically change the channel to optimize and maintain the highest speeds. On my Google pixel 5 phone I get up to 200 MBPS on Wifi. My PS4 gets on avg 150 MBPS. The farthest room in the Apartment gets 110 MBPS way more than the 20 MBPS speeds with the old router. The setup was very easy and I was up and running in about 10 minutes. For some it may take longer if they need to figure out the best place for their router and the mesh wifi point. I pretty much knew where to put mine. One last point is that Google automatically updates your router and they give you details in their app, called Google Wifi. I truly recommend this mesh router to anyone living in apartments as there are many wifi setups that can cause interference around you. Also recommend this to anyone upgrading their router.

Super happy with these! There is now 100% coverage around my 2100sqft house, including to the 3 outdoor Nest Cam’s that are constantly running in “Maximum Data” mode. We are “cord cutters” and usually have 3-4 (up to 6) TV’s (Roku’s and Streaming TV’s) running (Hiigh Data for those 4K pictures). We also have 2 gamer boys, so there’s always something streaming from them, along with 3 constant laptops, an iPad, and 5 phones. (A total of 23 devices are usually actively using data when we are home). It never slows down, never lags, never hiccups. I’ve never had to go unplug it, or see what’s going on, it just runs like it’s supposed too! I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Family controls are awesome, the only lacking feature that I miss from my previous router is the “website log” - I like to be able to confirm these teens are doing their homework during the day, but there is no way to log internet activity with these. Apparently Google says that’s a privacy issue.

great speeds, no dead zones and fully integrated into my smart home

Great wifi get solid coverage inside and outside the house. My approximate sq is 3700 and this covers everything my old router couldn’t. The built in app that you set this is is also great. I see everything on the network and what’s being used. This is a feature I use all the time tied to my kids iPads and Xbox in order to kill their internet for bedtime, dinner, lunch and other breaks. Has parental controls in it as well to help protect them from sites and I can do network and Speedtest that are built in to check wifi. Really great system and having the google home function built in to play music, answer questions or use it like an intercom and broadcast to the house is an awesome feature too! Btw they look really nice and are compact!

Definitely worth the price!! Since the pandemic I’ve been working from home and upgraded my wifi from Xfinity to the highest 1gbps. But ever since I upgraded my service I noticed I would still only get speeds of 39 or 40 mbps. I finally realized my equipment was 4 years old and though they did allege to support 1 gbps, they really weren’t able to handle the speeds. I upgraded to this Nest Mesh network and an upgraded modem and now am constantly seeing speeds of 800+mbps!! Huge difference in performance. I like to work on weekend to catch up on the week and wasn’t able to with my family using up the wifi with Netflix and what not, and now have no issues at all.

This is my first mesh network router system. I’m using it with Verizon Fios and their ONT device. With Fios, you do not need a modem nor a Verizon router if you get this router. I also had Spextrum in the last and you just need to use their modem along with this router for your internet. This has improved connection speeds in areas of my home where I had slow speeds or low signals. This is not a Wifi 6 router which most new routers have, but keep in mind that most devices do not support the Wifi 6 standard. The aesthetics of the router and point are great and they blend into my home furniture. Setup is easy. Not much customization with settings. If you need VPN via router, or heavy monitoring of connections or customization of things like DHCP, this is not for you. This router system is for people who want a reliable and strong connection with easy setup.

I have a 5300 square foot home with basement and 2 stories. I bought the 3 pack and positioned them main floor middle of house. 2nd floor and basement on opposite sides. I have very strong connection everywhere in the entire house and outside in yard. Awesome and fast!!!

Great connectability and signal strength throughout my house.

Recently moved from a small one-bedroom apartment into a house, so the drop in WiFi signal from one end of the house to the other was surprising. Our internet speeds are 200 Mbps down/ 10 Mbps up and we receive that while in the room with the router. Moving to the other end of the home where we sleep and that signal would drop to around 30 mbps down and 8 Mbps up. After purchasing this kit, the router is still on one side of the home, we have one access point in the middle of the home in our library and another in the primary bedroom and we maintain the 200 Mbps down / 10 Mbps pretty much everywhere in and around the home. We're already a decently heavy Google household so the fact that the access points double as voice assistants is pretty handy as well. The largest con to the Nest Wifi router is the fact that it only has one ethernet port. This is fine, because an 8 port Gigabit Ethernet switch is like $25 at most. But I can see how people who aren't necessarily tech-savvy have no idea what a network switch even is. The other con is the lack of choosing what WiFi network to connect to (whether it be 5 Ghz or 2.4 GHz). For the most part, the automation works well, but there are a few times where my partners desktop will only connect to 2.4 Ghz and it leaves her with a slightly slower connection. Overall kinda minor, as it quickly adjusts, but still an inconvenience. With that being said, I still think this Mesh Router from Nest is the go-to option for those who are already a Google household. So far, the issues presented are minor at best, but I would highly recommend picking up a network switch with this router to ensure you have enough Ethernet ports available.

This blows my old modem/router out of the water. I get excellent signal throughout my 2800sqft home now, plus signal half an acre in either direction outside my home. Outstanding coverage compared to my old modem/router from my service provider. I paired this mesh network with an Arris SurfBoard 3.0 modem. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to upgrade their Wi-Fi coverage in their home.

This is amazing device and so easy to install with excellent technical online support Even my 8 yr old could help me in setup Music sharing on devices is excellent feature. Net speed check on app is verymuch useful After 4 weeks monitoring i am very much satisfied with performance.

I wasn’t looking to buy a router but the salesman explained this item to me and I bought it. I have 47 devices on my home network and e always had problems with WiFi extenders. This lets all my devices work seamlessly I’m even able to hold my weekly zoom meetings in the back yard on the patio with blazing speed. I have X-Finity 200 mbs service and I am able to get full speed in the back yard.(241 mbs) It’s worth every penny!My point is near the back patio door.

This Nest WiFi mesh router is incredible. We have 2 buildings across an acre and are able to access our signal clearly. Easy to set up. Well worth it! My parents love being able to ask it questions and play music too, as well as being able to stream their TV off of it.

I’ve MESH system for my my new bigger house. I have a pod on all three house levels placed as centered as I could get. I did add a 4th older pod that adds better Wi-Fi to my garage and patio area on the far side of the house. Very happy after almost 2 years. They are also not distracting with all those antennas as well. They were way to set up. Just know what speed your paying for from the provider and what your devices can handle with their hardware and you won’t be disappointed. Older tech can’t run at Gig speed and are limited to the internal network hardware.

Great WiFi strength and ease of setup in condo where internet service line is not easy to move. No service interruptions or bandwidth issues since self installed. We even get coverage outside on our balcony now, where traditional Linksys router has trouble getting through the metal & concrete. One wish is that it would be nice to be able prioritize one WiFi device permanently, instead of only a few hours. Also would be nice to have just one more RJ45 connection (only one) for hardwired devices. Great value because I got it on Memorial Day Sale.

Paired with Arris Surfboard 3.0 (also reviewed), the best wifi service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this pair. I used to have cable company modem and could not have more than 3 devices connected at once without the frustration of lagging. With my Arris Surfboard and Google Nest pairing, I have had as much as 12 devices connected at the same time and no lagging. I am so happy I no longer have to constantly get stressed about my wifi signal like before ^_^ I normally do not review products unless they blow my expectations away. This product with the Arris surfboard pairing did exactly that. Absolutely phenomenal!!!

This purchase did to my speed of internet is akin to a new birth. I wish that I had made this purchase month ago. No more buffering, watching that spinning on my screen. The options are amazing! Also it gave me another Google voice to respond to. The possibilities are endless. If you're on the fence about this purchase, do it. You won't regret it.
