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.

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 had problems with coverage in my three-bedroom apartment. Too resolved it. I picked up two Google Wi-Fi mesh routers that resolved the problem. https://store.google.com/product/nest_wifi_pro?hl=en-US

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 got a Linksys MX4300 for $15 from Woot. Loaded OpenWRT on it, and it runs like a dream. Even has SQM. It doesn't have Wifi 6E though. Then again my Google Nest Pro with Wi-Fi 6e is a shitty router that I replaced with the Linksys MX4300 with. I have the Nest Pro router sitting over there, and debating if I should impart the problem onto someone else by donating it to my local Goodwill store.

Mesh system (bridge) - google wifi pro is my pick for many reasons

I returned mine because it was very minimally configurable. It wouldn't even let me set it up without internet access, and I wanted to use it in an offline lab. That said, it's probably fine for regular users if you have no intention of ever digging into things. Nest products in general are infuriating though, they randomly break and don't provide any lower level access to troubleshoot and fix. I say this as a former Google engineer who still owns a bunch of nest junk (caveat I never worked in that division). If you had to get one, I'd choose it over TP-Link though

I installed a Google Nest Pro system in a large house with all block walls a few weeks ago, for a customer. If I am honest I thought it wouldn't make the grade, but it is what the wanted and they had already bought the kit. I was super impressed with just how well it worked. The only cable involved was some Cat5E between the master TV box and it's closest node and the client TV box and it's closest node via a cheap Gigabit switch, which also connected a networked laser printer. It dishes out the maximum the ISP gives in every room in the house.

I just did a whole house install where the customer had already bought a 4 point Google Nest Pro mesh system. I have to say it is pretty good. If all you want is a rock solid
