"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."

"Unfortunately, I found that the Eero network was waaaaay slower than the much-older Orbi. ... But while I could my full 2.5Gbps at the Eero router, my WiFi speeds were between 300-400 Mbps. I returned it and put my old Orbi system back into use."

"Had those problems early on ... over the last year, they would disconnect a couple times a week ... unplugging each device usually works the best for a few days"
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.
r/GoogleWiFi • Google mesh point will go offline ->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.
r/GoogleWiFi • Google Mesh WiFi 2020 - worth upgrading? ->"Also better WiFi, generally improved version, **very expensive**, don't know too much about them." **$250** for **Three** New *Nest WiFi Pro* (6E) .
r/GoogleWiFi • Google WiFi ->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.
r/tmobileisp • Mesh network setup ->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
r/tmobileisp • Tmobile mesh system ->Nest Pro WiFi is absolutely terrible. I fought with it for years handling a bunch of devices, matter products, etc. I gave up two months ago for Unify. Such a dramatic transformation after years of poor WiFi performance. There is no such thing as a “lemon” in this product category.
r/googlehome • Google Wifi Pro is terrible ->You should only get Nest Pro if you can hard wire the points into the network. I along with many others have had issues when using the points wirelessly. Hard wired the Nest Pro setup is great.
r/GoogleWiFi • Would it be worth upgrading to a new mesh system? ->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
r/HomeNetworking • Google nest mesh or something else? ->I dumped Google's Nest Pro for the TPlink BE95 and been great! Real wired backhaul, and wireless if you want. I think that you probably want a wired backend. Do you have coax cable in your home? You can link everything up with Docsis 2.5 GBps using those runs without having to run new wire. Alternately, you could look Ethernet over power. I think they have 2.5 Gbps for that too.
r/googlehome • What Mesh Wifi Is Everyone Using ? ->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”.
r/Starlink • Just bought a Unifi AC Mesh. Can I use it wirelessly to extend WiFi range from Starlink? ->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.
r/wifi • Need a solution over wifi extender ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
