"It dishes out the maximum the ISP gives in every room in the house."
"I have had no internet drops, no lag, no issues at all compared to the Eero's"
"We at least get 600-800MBPs up and down nearly at every corner of the property now. ... And finally we have it working stable"

"My Nest Wifi serves 4 pucks (all wirelessly) and it's rock solid."
"Got the Google Nest 3 Point Wifi Pro and it’s amazing. ... Pissed off with poor internet in house. Well it wasn’t Cogeco, we had a shitty router."

"its been significantly easier getting my fiancee to control things via Google Home rather than needing to jump through like six different apps for things that didn't play nice in Apple Home. ... A lot more devices seem to work for Google Home that did not work for Apple Home."
"Multiple 4k streams at once, plus video games, smart home stuff, etc. ... I forget it's even there because i never have to think about it."
"Have 40 devices connected (obviously not all running at the same time). ... No issues"

"My Nest WiFi pro pods are very unreliable and have had connection issues daily for months now with no fix in sight."
"It drops out constantly"
"I spent days with Google support trying to resolve the issues. Including resetting the system twice and waiting overnight as recommended by Google support. All of this did not resolve the issues."

"the nest WiFi pro couldn’t even stream music to multiple speakers without hiccuping constantly."
"With Nest WiFi I’d hardly ever get more than 100mbps on a single device regardless of how close I was to the puck."

"My Nest WiFi pro pods are very unreliable and have had connection issues daily for months now with no fix in sight."
"It drops out constantly"
"Now it has stopped playing nicely with an unmanaged switch. ... I have three devices plugged into a wired switch in the room with the router. This worked fine for months, but now it drops internet for anything wired. ... The only solution I have been able to find is to unplug everything, restart, and plug wired devices back in one at a time. This will work for two devices before it drops everything again when a third is plugged in. Very frustrating."

"the Google Nest Wifi Mesh ... hasn't disconnected repeatedly like how the Google Nest Wifi Mesh was. ... experiencing constant frustrations and/or internet disconnections ... The issues you described is what my Google Nest Wifi would do to me along with constant disconnections."
Alexeiyo 1.0"Also better WiFi, generally improved version, **very expensive**, don't know too much about them." **$250** for **Three** New *Nest WiFi Pro* (6E) .
Apart_Passenger3886 1.0Nest 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.
ApatheticMoFo 1.0Maybe I'm in the minority, but my dual Nest Wifi Pro setup has been solid for me (minus random latency). I have them setup in a wired backhaul configuration. 50-60 device on the network at anyone time.
arshad14 1.0I've used both and honestly, I find the Eero to be faster and smoother and more consistent than when I had the Nest Wifi Pro 6E. I don't know if it's because my main router is the Max 7 but that's what I found. The other thing I really like is you can mix and match the Eero routers, unlike Google's where you have swap out the entire mesh if you ever wanted to upgrade to their future devices (if any). Makes for a much easier and cheaper transition. I'm a full Google ecosystem household with Android phones and nest hubs, but I still find my mesh network and all my smart devices, over 150 of them, run a lot smoother on the Eero network than on my previous Google network. In regards to Matter, since I have a Nest Hub Max and a Nest Hub Audio, they both support matter and is therefore able to add Matter devices even if it's missing from the Eero network.
Eero Pro 6E has 2 ports. One is 2.5Gbps and the second one is 1Gbps. I have my Eero Pro 6E backhaul connected using a MoCA 2.5G adapter to connect it right to my main router, which is the Max 7.
bhpsoccer 1.0I would not. I am currently replacing mine with ASUS mesh routers. The performance simply does not translate to the speeds you need from Wi-Fi. I pay for 1Gbps service and I get no more than 200 over Wi-Fi on any device. I have talked to support on and off for over a year about this issue to no avail. I simply would not waste your money on a product that Google does not support.
Blueferret21 1.0I hate to say it but I jumped ship after having to fight my nest pros for so long with just general functionality and having to invent workarounds to make them do normal routing tasks. I'm on ubiquiti now and never looking back.
borillionstar 1.0I 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.
Bryan467 1.0I wouldn't. I know everyone's experience is different but I bought them a year after they went on sale and for the longest time, it never reached my 1gig plan. It's always 600mbps and under. Never realized how bad it was until more people in our house started consuming more wifi for school, gaming, and other stuff. I use a TP link deco and it's matching my Internet speeds. A shame cause they looked nice to look at.
CEB12345 1.0My wifi pro works great. No real issues. Previous version never had the range I needed and I had many problems, but the pro has been solid.

cneda105 1.0Idk but don’t get the nest WiFi pro. It drops out constantly and you can’t force 2.4ghz to setup smart home products. The WiFi provided by my isp router is more stable that the nest pro
