Nest Wifi

I just replaced my old Google router mesh from 2019 with Eero 7 mesh. The speeds are much faster but has less stability. I really took Google router for granted, we had zero connection issues. With Eero I have at least 3 connections issues a week to fix. Garage keypad, kids iPad, smart light

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.

I finally got sick of restarting my Nest Wifi manually every two days when my wifi would inevitably stop working. Switched to TP-Link DECO. Oh my god why did it wait so long, It’s been flawless for over a month. Don’t ever have to think about it. Google abandoned this product. If you’re thinking about switching, do it.

Nest Gen 2. Never look back man. Switch and sell the Nest while they still have value

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?

No issues. Frankly it's people not following directions or the app itself not completing certain functions. Others are just people not wiring correctly or being impatient during setup. Some of the stalling setup issues I have encountered and can be resolved by force quitting the app and crossing your fingers that you don't have to start all over. BTW, if you are technically inclined installing OpenWRT on your old Google WiFi pucks breathes alot of life into them. Setup is not easy, but it's very rewarding. In fact I recommend using one as an access point with a different WiFi name added to your MESH. Perhaps even one that is dedicated to IOT devices and guests.

If you mean the Google WiFi 1st gen white pucks, you are **long overdue** for security patches. Last firmware update was [3 years ago](https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/13800967?hl=en). If you are technically inclined you can install OpenWRT on it or at the bare minimum upgrade the primary Internet facing puck to 2nd gen (Nest WiFi 1st gen). However, thatis probably next to be 'forgotten'. If you can find it cheap, it'll be worth it.
