Nest (Google) - Nest Wifi Pro

Nauh, if anything the Pro is better. But honestly, I’d ditch it all completely. I thought it would be seamless, it is, but has zero advanced customization. When these die, I’ll get back on to Asus or something that can take custom firmware. Anyway, the Pro has Ethernet port on each AP, so it can use a wired backhaul.

I just recent replace my nest Wi-Fi pro with a One and it's been way more solid. I always used to get disconnects (most likely from the ad/tracking blocker) from the nest but this one had been way better then i expected. Even on the snapshot versions it's been way more stabe, but I'm only using it as a dumb ap. Opnsense is my main router

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.

If the router works fine keep it and just have the verizon tech install the verizon rental router to run their checks and as soon as they leave you can return the router at a UPS store or verizon store. their router isn't known for being the best and did have quite a few issues when it first launched

Got Google nest pros, they work with no major complaints. Will do the job your after.

This is not correct, I have plenty of older security cameras including Arlo ones that use 2.4 and the WiFi 7 router from spectrum is band steering them to the correct band. I also had an nest WiFi pro system with 3 nodes and it is nice but if you have Gig like me the nest WiFi pro will cost you speed your paying for as my system even plugged in to the main node could only get 750mb down where the Spectrum one also hardwired and wireless gave me 1150mb down no issues and everything connected right up when I switched the SSID to the same as my old network.

I have the Google Nest Pro and the Netgear 6 mesh (forgot the name). I have a firewall that split the two meshes apart: Netgear for trusted, Google for iOT. The criticism I have for Google is that it does not have an AP mode, so all the devices are hidden. Any suspicious traffic comes from the same IP. I can't allow my work PC to access the NAS, for example, while blocking everything else. Otherwise, it works quite well, especially if you have a Google household (I do).

You really don't want a combination modem/router for a couple reasons. One is that WiFi technology has been progressing quicker than cable modem technology. Also, Spectrum's going to a 'high split' network design which will increase upload speeds, but will also require a new modem (which they'll provide for free if needed). Currently, they only let you use their modem for that service. For friends of mine that have had issues with WiFi, I ended up gifting them Google NEST 6E units, just to see how they liked the experience. Those worked really well and evened out speeds/dead zones, namely in multi-floor or larger single-floor houses. I bought them Open Box from Best Buy. I'm sure the Eero setups are fine too. Like others said, TP-Link has a weird situation going on with the US Government and it is probably a good idea to avoid that. Apartment or single floor house? a regular router might work. I've had really good luck with the ASUS stuff. Buy from a place that has some degree of a return policy just in case it doesn't really improve things for you. I'd go with a WiFI 6E solution regardless just to give you something semi-future resilient. WiFi 7 just came out and the hardware seems to be pretty expensive. For a lot of people, the Spectrum solution is 'good enough'. Since most routers and mesh systems have a lot more features and are easy to set up with a cell phone app, I'm a bigger fan of saving the 10 bucks and getting something great instead. Also, agree with the other people that mentioned moving the modem to a more centralized location isn't a bad idea. That would be true with your own router as well. Spectrum can help do that for you, just give them a call.

I’ve tried every single WiFi google nest router(google WiFi, nest WiFi, nest WiFi pro) and out of them they all had slow speeds. I ended up getting the eero mesh system and those work flawlessly

I switched from Eero to Google Nest Wifi 6E and I've been loving it!
