Google Nest Wifi Review - 6 Months Later

[@cmbtvet01]

I just added the Google Nest wifi mesh in my house mostly so I could get wifi to my garage ultimately allowing me to put a camera up covering my driveway. My garage is detached from my house and prior to installing this system I had zero wifi signal in my garage. Now I have nearly the same speed in my garage as I do on my wired PC. It's been just under a week but I am definitely loving it.

[@DanEather]

I was hoping someone was doing this, as I'm in the same situation. How far away is your garage from your house roughly? Mine is about 20-25 meters from the house, and 30-35 meters from the traditional router in my lounge room. Currently i can JUST get wifi in the garage, but not consistently. Was hoping this product would work....

Try adding an extender/repeater. That’s what I did

Yeah, when I was looking at it, it says that 1 router would be enough since it is only 800 sq. ft, but my condo's only cable port is at the very front of the unit. My back tv is 30 feet away from the router and my patio even farther providing a somewhat weak signal so I had to get an additional point. Proper coverage now.

[@robertschulze7995]

I've had this system for about 3 months now. Easy setup and the wi-fi works great. Doubled my network speed over the single router I used to use. A few cons though. The main router only has one extra network port. The point devices have no network ports, only a power outlet. The system advertises only a single SSID name even though it's a dual band router. This was an issue with my printer which only works with the 2.4 GHz band. And finally, my point device stopped responding to the "hey google" prompt and is now useless as a Google assistant. No, the "mute" switch is NOT turned off. First thing I checked. From comments on googles support page, I'm not alone in having this issue.

[@jwashburn333]

No, it's because people who aren't familiar with the internet use "internet" and "wifi" interchangeably. i.e. "Pay my wifi bill." etc. So they think "Google WiFi" = "Google Internet" and all of a sudden their question makes complete sense in that context. Keep in mind, there are some people who have never had a network device other than the modem router combo their ISP gives them, so it makes sense to them.

[@antonioar21]

For any power users and anyone in a high population density area, the router doesnt have power options for changing specific wifi settings like changing the ssid for the 2.4 and 5ghz antennas individually and changing the channel to broadcast on. Just these two things have been a huge inconvenience in the few months I have owned this. I have about 20 smart devices connected that are either 2.4 or 5ghz and they tend to lose connection a few times a month without being able to reconnect until a whole setup is completed along with a router reset. Doing a check on a wifi analyzer I can see that the router is choosing the most popular wifi channels and is getting a lot of interference. For anyone wanting to spend 2 minutes doing a first setup and who has a tech guy to take acare of issues, this is probably great.

Loves you & your videos! Buuut, you didn't mention obstacles (like HVACs, microwave ovens, W/Ds & metal bi-fold closet doors) that will interfere with the WiFi like we experienced in our 1300sqft apartment with 27 devices and only 6(!)Mbps. I'm handicapped so things like wall light switches, fans & some table lamps are quite difficult to operate. I've tried for years to resolve the signal outage & lost devices problems but when Google Nest WiFi came along it resolved ALL our issues in one swell foop. Granted, it's not perfect but so far nothing else has performed NEARLY as well as ANY of the other WiFi routers/repeaters I've tried. Thanks for helping us make the right choice!

[@abrohamproductions8263]

Didn't see this video, but we upgraded to 400mbps recently and had to get a router that could handle it, and the nest wifi router without the point works well and covers our whole house. We got a decent sized house in Florida, and with this in the living room, we get 430mbps in our room. With the point, we only got 280mbps, so use it without the point if the point slows it down. It's amazing overall! If you want the speaking features, get a Google Home for like $40, and just the nest router for $169 if the point slows it down for you too.

Should mention if you had the old version of goggle Wi-Fi you can reset them and use them as access points with the new version. Since the old version has an Ethernet port, you can also use them to add a non Wi-Fi device like a printer onto your mesh network.

So glad I found you. I'm a dinosaur and have trouble understanding all these tech terms but I need a Wifi system and you make it very easy to understand. I'm hoping you can answer a few questions before I make a purchase. My router and modem are in one room and the room furthest away does not get a good wifi signal because the walls in the apartment are cinder block. My router and modem were supplied by my Spectrum network. 1. If I remove my router and installed the Google Nest router, will the modem work with it? 2. Since my apartment is only 950 sq feet, will I need an extender in addition to the router and if yes, would I need more that one additional extender? 3. Or should i get two routers.

Considering your plugging it into your current router, do you have to make new wifi logins for the nest?

[@henry6639]

The one BIG CON I have is google doesn't mention it but each mesh point is a ac1200 while the main one is a ac2200. Just buy one router point and use your existing old google mesh points for the same effect and you don't lose extra wired connection points. Money saved then buying a new three pack at 349.

[@wrmmachne82]

I was looking into these. Thanks for the honest & thorough review!

[@EVIL-SF]

Yeah I got this and returned it 2 weeks later. I have a modem/router combo that was provided by my ISP. Regularly, and that's an understatement, my Google nest router would disconnect for about a minute then re connect. It did this about 20-30 times a day! Upon calling both my isp and Google for troubleshooting and 2 weeks of trying to fix it I ultimately returned it.

[@guardianali]

Thats not googles issue. That is yours. You shouldnt be connecting two routers together either way. What you should have done was return your ISP router and ask to replace it with just a modem instead....which they would have been glad to do and would have probably saved you some money as the modem was probably cheaper than the combo. Then use THIS as the actual main and only router.

[@EVIL-SF]

Uh I didn't pay for the combo. It's standard for any of AT&T installations of fiber. Besides the point. I went through the steps to turn off the ISP router and was able to do so. Still didn't solve the problem.

[@ivyhernandez2526]

I found that my modem's WiFi is unstable and disconnects like yours. The Ethernet connection is stable. I think the provider knows this and uses this to "upgrade" to higher speed service because every time I call them about it they say that is what they recommend. However, I did get one person to be straight with me and told me that the software for the modem was the issue. If this is the case, my provider is scamming people and purposely sabotaging the WiFi on the modems they send to their customers. Thanks Centurylink! sarcasm noted.

[@alanlau3278]

My new Google mesh router also was cutting out multiple times a day. I do not have a modem/router combo. I reinstalled my old Google mesh WiFi (the ones that look like a hockey puck) and now everything is back to normal. I also like the fact that the old points have Ethernet ports. Only the new Google mesh router has Ethernet ports. I ended up returning the new Google mesh system.

[@DustinDClark04]

It was a garbage decision to not include Ethernet jacks in the access points. I ended up buying only the Nest router, and used my existing gen 1 (wired) access points to get wired mesh, and I’m very happy with this setup. Note that with Google fiber, you don’t need a router in addition to the Nest router anymore. You can plug your Nest router directly into the Fiber jack.

[@BobBridgesbob]

Another great video! I've had the first Google Wifi system for a few years now and have absolutely loved it. However, I live in a 3800 sq 3 story house and found that I needed 6 units. One plugged into the modem and 5 others scattered about the house. Works great. I REALLY want to upgrade to the Google Nest WiFi system, but there is just one thing holding me back. And that's that the points do not have Ethernet ports. I have a couple devices that are not wireless and need to be plugged into an Ethernet port. For example, my modem and main router are in the basement. My office is up on teh 3rd floor and I have a VOIP phone that I use for business, but it's not wireless, so I have it plugged into a Google Wifi unit in my office. Works great. My question is can the router also work as a point? For example, can I have one main router plugged into my modem in the basement and have additional routers around my house functioning as points to plug wired devices into?

[@6MonthsLater]

Thank you! Yes, the router can also be used as a point and can buy a pack of them on sites like Amazon.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Yes it can, and you can mix and match with the old routers

[@NathanCorachea]

Also WiFI signals travel in a downwards direction more easily than upwards. Just some thought to keep in mind when placing your routers in a 3 story house. I believe a majority of them time, router companies make claims of distance solely on a horizontal distance.

[@NathanCorachea]

As a Mesh network, you don’t experience decreased speeds when your device is connected to the access point, like you would when connected to a repeater/second router. Normally a repeater/second router has two do two things. Talk to the main router and talk to your device. For this reason, the speed is cut in half. But with Mesh network technology, this is not the case. Rather than acting independently, they communicate as one unit.

[@macinman]

Hey Josh, been a while since I've commented on one of your videos. I was recently in the market for a new router earlier this year. I went with the TP-Link C4000, which was a 2019 router model. I went this route over mesh because I still like to separate my 2.4, and 5gthz networks. The Main reason being is, some smart devices I use, require the hardware, and software to be on the same 2.4gh network for configuration. After everything is setup, it's fine to return the iPad, iPhone to the 5ghz channel for normal operation. Since Google doesn't allow, or offer band separation, how does that fare for stability with smart device setup, and operation? The other factor is, my 1 bedroom apartment is only 877 sq ft, based on a floor plan i looked at online from the property. Seems like mesh would be overkill as well as well. However, as an aid to improve signal strength I have connected an Airport extreme router in the bedroom to a switch connected to the main router, and given it the same SSID name for each active band as the main router, as well as the same password, and security. Seems like devices closest to that AP instinctively connect to, it while the main router still manages DHCP and the actual routing. So far, everything seems rock solid, so would google nest, or Mesh period offer me anything over my existing setup ? thanks

Great review! I'm upgrading my Google WiFi to Nest WiFi. I've been on the 1st gen for 3 years now and it's been really nice!

[@anthonyweng8443]

I just return 2 sets 4-Pak (Router and 3 Points) back to Costco. Google Wi-Fi drops the internet connection frequently. It is well known issue after the last software update. You can google around and tons of posting regarding the issue (support.google.com/googlenest/thread/35111427?hl=en) . Until the connection issue get resolve, the system is useless.

Mine really slowed down after about a year. Not sure if it was a bad software update or something else. I switched to a nighthawk mesh system. Hopefully it holds up better. I really liked the nest when it was working. Also doesn’t look bad in a room the way most other systems do.

Is Nest Wifi (or any other mesh router) really needed for a 2-room apartment? I mean, sure, if you have a house with two floors and many rooms, maybe you need a mesh network, but I don't really see the point of the expensive Nest Wifi router for a common apartment (sure, it has parental controls and some other few software gimmicks, but I still consider it a bit too expensive for this particular case). What do you think, would you recommend it for a small/medium apartment?

[@6MonthsLater]

I use the router and the point so I get wifi to my garage across the street, but for most apartments all you would need is the router itself. So def worth price comparing with other routers, but I'd probably still do it just because of the app and the fact it's the same app I'm already using every day to control other Google products in my setup. The performance from just the router has been good so far. Barely notice a difference in speed between the connection coming in from the ISP to the router and the speed over wifi. - Josh

Technically no, you wouldn’t. But you could probably save some cost on renting the equipment by buying your own modem. Depending on your internet speed, you can get away with a router that’s anywhere from $50 to $100. Just make sure it’s compatible with your ISP.

[@RMCguards66]

You can ask your ISP to swap that combo unit out for a separate modem router.

[@marcin_karwinski]

Requiring a modem to connect this router to is understandable since there is no DSL/Fibre receiver/device built-in. But what about apartment block networks - I've got my net from ISP that offers Fiber to several switches in our apartment block and from those - 10GbE (multigig) copper to respective apartments, one of the drawbacks being their old approach of allowing a specific MAC to be on receiving end as per contract. Therefore my question is - can it be connected directly to such block-/district-wide LAN upon setup or does it need to have a working internet connection from the devices to be managed whence you can change the MAC of the router so it could replace the old router currently in use? If you cannot change the MAC of the WAN port such a device in my case becomes just yet another router/ap appliance and loses a lot of points...

this is ridiculously expensive considering that it doesn't have wifi 6. i absolutely agree that it is a 'nice to have' luxury, but the Nest Wifi is in itself a 'nice to have' luxury, and if you're forking over this much for something most ISPs give for free then you'd want it to have the standards that'll keep it performing into the future.

[@john-ze7eu]

I've been told you'll get near your stated speed at your modem area, but each point only gives you 40-60%??

[@romo0012]

@@john-ze7eu that seems correct.

[@romo0012]

@@john-ze7eu I also added another router and back hauled it to the living room area and that has really boosted the speeds. It actually works like a charm.

[@Mr.J_Aruba]

Will the speed be as better if I buy the 2 points but don't actually need it? Will this help the speed of the wifi? Or only give more coverage?

[@benjaminng2983]

How does this compare to the tplink mesh or the net gear ones

[@Iknowrealtv]

So here is my question. If I already have a router (not Google) can I by just points ?

[@akshatshah3717]

no, you need the nest router

[@AranakAsulis]

$350 is very fair for mesh network that's so easy to use and set up.

Amazin video, very informative, and easy to retain information. Than you!

Does it work with Apple HomeKit? Can you change Google Assistant to Siri?

[@leobalan7387]

I have a bunch of smart devices at home and after my new neighbor moved with another bunch of smart devices my wifi started to collapse; I have to monitor the channels to look for a less busy one but that doesn’t last. So In this scenario I think wifi 6 is a need... what do you think?

[@markied2873]

Do you need a WiFi service, currently with spectrum. Or is this is own service

Port forwarding is still broken since the migration from Google Wi-Fi to Google home. Could you please validate this issue and make a video about it?

Would this product make my internet faster? Particularly in streaming. I currently have xfinity

[@HashimWarren]

Fantastic, helpful review

[@baileybrazier]

quick question, am i able to use the google nest system with a non google branded router such as an asus router? can google nest act as a piggyback system?

[@darkevilpt5306]

Still doesn't answer my question can we use this as a wifi repeater? If so? Which one? or both?

[@kcirrred9923]

Can it pair or work as part of the entire Google mini home ecosystem?

[@Agent007T]

I may have missed something but if I’m going from room to room are all the points the same connection or do I have to connect to different points with different WiFi names? Hope this makes sense

[@6MonthsLater]

They're all the same.

hi! I have a question, i just started gaming and i sometimes have low ping and lag, i heared using wired connection is better. My modem/router is downstairs and i don't want a LAN cable all over the house, what do i need to do?

[@RARa12812]

so I hook up one to the modem. other one in the house somewhere. whats the software setup needed? do i need to do something like setting up an account etc

[@zacharyw213]

You need the Google Home app for setup which means you need a Google account. Other than that you don't need much of anything.

I am trying to set up a Govee app, but I can only use 2.4 vs 5.0. My system has both, how do I shut off 5.0 to complete the installation?

[@vansteel393]

I really enjoy mine, but I don't like that you can't hide your SSID. I know that it's not foolproof security, but I like adding as many points of friction as I can for potential hackers.

[@AmericanPatriots87]

Hidden SSIDs are pointless. As soon as a device attempts to connect to the network they will see the SSID. ethicalhackingblog.com/uncovering-hidden-ssids/

[@revelationgenesis3045]

Do the google nest wifi acts like a nornal google assistant also? U can also use it to control smart devices by voice assistant?

[@iliketohike]

I think you only need Home to install, then you can use Google WiFi application and give full access there without providing access to all products in Google Home?

[@B33autiful18]

Does this router play music?
