"Got 1 just to see if it covers my 2500sqft home and it does very well."
"It dishes out the maximum the ISP gives in every room in the house."

"I have read similar WiFi connectivity issues with the nest pro routers (we will regularly drop WiFi data, but not connectivity, while Ethernet has been stable)."
"Honestly, a lot of my trepidation is more so in the time factor. Within the time I could call in and argue and threaten to cancel between multiple reps, I could just go and buy a new router and be done with it. Albeit, not for free… ... So out of curiosity, got on chat and they IMMEDIATELY prompted an upgrade and to send out a tech today in a couple hours. So they for sure know these things are garbage."
"Nest products in general are infuriating though, they randomly break and don't provide any lower level access to troubleshoot and fix."

"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"
"if you have Gig like me the nest WiFi pro will cost you speed your paying for"

"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."
"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."

Aacidus 1.0Nauh, 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.

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.
BV1717 1.0If 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
Cammmmmmmmmmmmm 1.0Got Google nest pros, they work with no major complaints. Will do the job your after.
cgarray17 1.0This 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.
dkibbled 1.0I 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
Expensive-Heart3299 1.0I’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
Gears6 1.0I 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.
GreenLanternsPodcast 1.0I switched from Eero to Google Nest Wifi 6E and I've been loving it!
Joshomatic 1.0Mesh system (bridge) - google wifi pro is my pick for many reasons
