Nest (Google) - Nest Wifi Router

My old gen 1 Google nests still work perfectly and if service is below 1 gig you won’t notice much improvement. I do use wired backhaul for a remote one to cover a large home with 4 of them. As a bonus you can get them on eBay practically free.

Nobody recommending Google Nest? Been running on gen 1 mesh for over a decade and it still rubs strong. Looking to upgrade to wifi 6, though after I got wifi security cameras.

Thank you. Good to know. For the Google/Nest WiFi I currently have, the app does say "Wired" for the point that's hooked up to the CAT7, so I think it's working. There's no other direct indication of the wired backhaul in the Google Home app. The one point that's not wired generally shows a weak connection, though it's only 20-30 feet away from both the main router and wired one with a few walls/the floor between. Unfortunately that's also the one closest to the detached area, so getting a signal out to there is proving difficult with this Google setup.

Sorry; Nest WiFi (H2D). That’s now the main router and I have a Google WiFi (AC-1304) connected with the wired backhaul, and a Nest WiFi point connected wirelessly.  Why are all WiFi product names so awful and confusing? Is it really so hard to just to number sequentially? 😄

It works. I have the gen 1 nest wifi with only dual band not the quad. Over wifi I get 430/ 50. Im on gigabit so I ran eithernet for the pc.

We use google wifi pro. Have the router and two AP’s covering 4400 foot three story house. Have an additional AP that came with the set sitting unused cause I don’t need it. This replaced the first gen nest wifi which was ok but laggy at times. Much happier with the Google wifi pro. Have not had to reset any of it since installation several months ago. It’s not the fastest or the cheapest but it’s not ugly either. I am running them wired. My primary complaint is that when the internet is down, the google home app provides no information

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.

Eero, google nest, orbi. But you would buy a whole new mesh WiFi setup. If you already have a to link router you wouldn’t go buy a eero to extend off the TPLink

I've used my Google Nest mesh wifi hubs for the past 2.5 years with TMHI. I just connect the primary access hub into the TMHI hub (G4AR) via ethernet cable. It's worked fine since we got TMHI. I have over 40+ IoT devices connected to my Nest mesh wifi. All work well. I have a primary and secondary mesh access points. The primary is in the house and the secondary is in another small building about 80ft away with no problems. I also have a TP-Link extender for the back yard which also works well. FYI. PS Not sure where JasonDJ is coming from. I've been in tech for over 35 years with multiple wifi networks both residential and commercial. I would say the majority are solid, reliable, and stable. A few had problems but were either quickly updated or replaced.

Yes it will. Just remember you have to plug the primary access point into the TMHI hub via Ethernet cable.

4 software engineers ??!! .. cmon.. don’t matter who your ISP is , if you have a crappy setup , you’re gonna have “wifi” drops you want to setup a MESH system at your home - i recommend ubiquiti but setup can be tricky so , maybe those google Nest routers ? THIS IS IMPORTANT - for ISP , make sure your uploads either match your download or something over 100mbps - a lot of ISPs cheap you with high UP but low DOWN I use Google Fiber

I had ResTech internet at one of my apartments previously as well and was happy with the google nest router.
