Google Wifi - Nest Wifi

I've been using Google's 2nd mesh wifi router since 2021 with no issues at all. Even with brief power outages it comes back on with normal operation without the need to do anything on my part.

Yeah I've had the Nest WiFi for about 6 years now and it's been a never ending battle. Had those problems early on, tried working with their customer service a few times and surprise surprise, their script always blames the ISP and they never take responsibility for their products. There was a period of about a year where they worked pretty well and then over the last year, they would disconnect a couple times a week. Sometimes I can restart the network from the app but unplugging each device usually works the best for a few days. I'm done with Google hardware, they just don't seem to care about customer service and making a quality product. Looking around for a new system, TP link has good reviews but security concerns being Chinese owned. Eero is unfortunately Amazon owned and D-link, which was a leader back in the day now makes sub par systems. Can't decide where to go.

I had a single original Google WiFi puck in a 2 bedroom apartment and loved it. When I bought a house in 2020 i upgraded to the Nest WiFi, basically what you have in the screenshot there. I was able to use my Google WiFi puck as a mesh AP and I had 3 pucks in the whole house. I did NOT use wired backhaul setup as it was not feasible and the throughput was absolutely awful. For context, I have gigabit from my ISP. With Nest WiFi I’d hardly ever get more than 100mbps on a single device regardless of how close I was to the puck. I replaced the whole system with a single Eero 6E and made no changes to my ISP/modem etc and now get 800mbps downloads on a 5ghz or 6ghz device with no loss of coverage in my home. In conclusion, switch to Eero or anything but Google. Google gave up on this product.

We use a Google Nest mesh network with 2 access points with TMHI. Been using it for 2 1/2 years now with no problems. Also, added a TP-Link extender for the backyard and again no problems. FYI.

I have my Google Nest Mesh Wifi connected to the TMHI hub via ethernet. The primary access point is connected to the TMHI and I have a secondary access point in another out building around 50ft away. All works well. Also, I checked the speed on my Nest Mesh wifi compared to the TMHI wifi and the Nest Mesh is faster. FYI

Honestly I’d try something else if it’s an option. I’ve had 2 or 3 sets of the google hardware. Seems to shit the bed within the year

No. This is a piece of hardware that requires other pieces to work. UniFi sells business and enterprise networking equipment. It requires a management system to be in place. A cloud key or Dream Machine is needed to configure this. Think, professional use only where professional knowledge is necessary. Return this to where you purchased it. If you want to use Mesh, pickup a TP-Link Deco system, Eero, or a Google Nest WiFi system for a ***proper*** functional system that won’t make things worse. Don’t buy garbage called “range extenders” or “WiFi boosters”.

Skip extenders and go mesh Error, Deco or nest will cover all 3 floors reliable. Keep the motorola as modem turn off it's WiFi and let the mesh handle everything.

We recently moved into a new home and now have gigabit internet. I have tried two different systems so far: the Linksys Velop system with two points. I would only get the speed I pay for in the room the router is in, but as soon as I go into the next room, it drops to around 200 mbps. Upstairs, it drops even further, even with the second point, unless you are hardwired into the second point. I am currently using the Nest Wifi router with four points, but I now only get a maximum speed of 500 Mbps downstairs and 150 Mbps upstairs, even with two points upstairs. Unfortunately, the Nest points don't have Ethernet, so I can't check that speed.The house is 1,328 sq ft. I just need a system that gets my speeds better for both downstairs and upstairs, as it is needed in both areas.

Google. Gen 2 router and 1 Gen 2 point. And 2 Gen 1 points

For the past two years, I've used an old Nest Wifi (non-Pro) 3 unit mesh system to connect all 4000 sqft of my property's smart devices, including those in a secondary two story building behind my main house. As you might imagine, the connect at the fridges is not good, and I've finally had enough. Last week, I had an electrician come and wire two CAT6A Ethernet ports, one upstairs in the main structure, and another in the secondary building. My goal is to run a state of the art WiFi 7 three points mesh system supported by a wired backhaul. My issue is, I have yet to come across a "best" WiFi 7 mesh system that could be described as both high performing and extremely reliable. Dong Knows Tech seems to really like the Asus BQ16 Pro, but when I read about it on Reddit, I see nothing but complaints about disappearing AP's and poor network stability. Other brands all have similar negative anecdotes shared. The only brand that I haven't read negative performance feedback about is Ubiquiti, but their options seem to be very convoluted, and the value for the money spent seems to frequently be in question here. At this point I've used the search feature so extensively on this subject that I'm completely overwhelmed. Can anyone on here please help me to navigate all the ambiguity to point me towards a solid option?
