They need to add a battery to it. This would not be hard to do and would provide a great home mesh wifi experience. Being able to just pick up a puck and move it to a back patio while your entertaining guests without keeping it outside would be great. Or having access to your wifi during a power outage. I know what your thinking if you have no power you have no internet. I have many other IoT devices such as cameras that run off of a battery that honestly are a PAIN and don't all ways reconnect automatically. Perhaps its my current router and if I get this it will solve the re-connection issue, but having a battery for short surges and brown outs would keep my home security system going and that would be a major win. Or in the next intervention of this hardware make it POE and allow each mesh device to be hardwired. Sure its designed to be simple, but with IoT becoming a staple in home development having a bit more capability would be great.

I am a fan of Netgear, but the implementation is not the best as mobile devices stay stuck to an access point until the signal is just too weak. Static devices are flawless. But I've heard Google WiFi is all the same network is connects to closes/strongest signal. On advice on the video itself, try a lens that is not so wide...in you black screen and unboxing scenes your hands and arms are disproportionate to your body. Try a more natural lens. My $0.02.

I’ve had mine for a little over a year now. At first it was great and Wifi was always smooth and fast (100 mbps). But lately it was giving me issues saying one WiFi point would be weak and I tried moving them closer together or rearranging them and I still would get the same problem. For some reason it has been inconsistent with the speeds that I get. Also I noticed that they don’t do the greatest with maintaining speeds the farther you’re away from one of the points. I’ll get slow speeds from one room away which is about 20 feet away and I can’t get understand. So I’m not sure if this is just a software issue or just simply from my ISP with having inconsistent speeds. So generally it’s been okay for me, I’d give it a 7/10. I might consider something more powerful though with better range than this. It is easy to manage though for someone who isn’t too tech savvy but I prefer having more control over the settings such as assigning devices to one band and such.

This takes your current internet subscription to your Internet Service Provider and improves the hardware and functionality. Your ISP provides the internet connect (and a router if you opt to do that), it's your job to utilize it as best you can. I do recommend purchasing your own simple modem instead of paying the renters fee for your ISP's router/modem 2-in-one. Google Home will act as your main router connecting to your modem, just talk to your ISP about what you need to do to make that happen.

I have been using Google Wi-Fi since just before Thanksgiving. Initially, things were fine. Now it is the most frustrating device that I own. I have been talking to customer service (in Southeast Asia) on a daily basis, several hours a day. They can't explain how my ISP provides 100 MBPS yet my devices only produce 5 or fewer Mbps. They've had me reset the mesh units five or six times. The list of things they've had me do are endless and of course, none of them work. Of course, I can't take the Google Wi-Fi back because it's purchased at Best Buy and you only get 30 days. So I'm stuck with this crap. Watching television or movie on my fire stick is frustrating because the buffering is ridiculous. Initially, I could watch a movie or television and it was great.

Thanks for sharing. That is a HUGE bummer! Maybe try resetting the network?

@@TheSearchForAwesome I have reset my network. I have renamed my network. I have switched the mesh unit locations. I'm about to consider this 'a bad purchase' and begin again with a more reliable option.

Your review was good, but you didn’t mention how to address wired devices and how to deal with those.

Thanks so much. I said it has ports but you're right, I didn't explain that. Each wifi point has 2 Ethernet ports and each can be used from what I understand. I've used one Ethernet ports for my computer upstairs and it works great!

Do I need a previous router or internet service to use this? Or can I use this just on its own? (Just moved into a new house.. would love to try this out before committing to an internet service ie att or spectrum)!
@TheSearchForAwesome5 жыл бұрын
You need a modem to supply the internet. You'll just plug that into the Google WiFi.

It's interesting that the biggest advantage of google wifi is the software inside it, smartly allocating bandwidth and making sure everything runs smoothly. However, this is kinda hard to measure. And unlike max bandwidth speed, it's hard to compare the internal software between router brands. I'm leaning towards getting the google wifi to replace my 7 year old router, even though it's more much more expensive than other brands with the same technical specs.

Interesting point! Time is money, and if something saves you alot of time it might be worth the extra cost :)

So does it boost speeds or just amplify the signal so it has more range? I have terrible internet with 800 kb/s with Ethernet and it makes it impossible to play online without hotspots.

It can't boost speed, but as you said it extends the range of the internet that your sending out

@8a8yturl3s5 жыл бұрын
dan don’t have to do anything. Just connect main google WiFi tower to netgear. And place the other ones where you like.

Change your VPN on your phone to the US so you can access the US app store. From there, download the app.
