Google Wifi: Unboxing, Setup & Review

[@mogliking12345]

This channel is the best tech channel on youtube, and let me explain why: you dont talk bullshit instead you actually explain details, point by point, step by step. You also have a beautiful camera and very good audio. You show us the techs or the items and while you are doing that, you are giving us more information. Wish you the best!

Watch It Melt It's Amazing. Pretty much hitting wired speeds all over the house.

[@reindert3912]

I too

[@psssantosh]

Watch It Melt well , it’s 150 dollars here so...not worth it...i should just stick with my net gear , if I want full internet speeds , I just switch on my PC , Ethernet , I get full speeds :)

[@flamingguy21]

Google has been stepping their game up lately

[@Extra621]

they are not doing something wow, they are playing a catch up

[@sunilvarmadatla]

There is nothing new about this device. this is just like regular router with wifi range extender.

[@striekr13577]

sunil varma datla it's not the same thing as WiFi with a range extender. A range extender is constantly sending a connection while these routers constantly seeking active WiFi devices and prioritizing their connection to them. Thus providing a better all around connection.

[@carson9903]

It's not that they _haven't_ been stepping up their game, it's that they are marketing their products much more.

[@MysticMaven]

Yeah making dual-band only with no MIMO mesh wifi devices. SOOOOO amazing!!! :/

[@sush2142]

Reaching that 1million subscribers soon I see. You deserve more, really good reviews.

[@lezyne9301]

you have such a radio voice. amazing.

[@seancollier]

Your reviews are very well done. Most reviewers are 90% opinion and 10% technical overview. I like that you are the opposite. You have a wining formula, keep it up! You have been added to my list of KZbin channels that I support by not skip ads.

If only Google would put this video on their product information page it would have just saved me 3 hours searching for information I needed! Thanks for the video.

[@VincenzoSims]

I never knew how useful Google WiFi was. Very great in depth unboxing and review, Mike! Thumbs up! 👍🏻😀

[@kingward8426]

I just purchased a three-point system. Looking forward to setting up and using it. You move through the process pretty fast, so I'll have to watch the tutorial a couple of times at least. But I appreciate your efforts. Fast forward four days. I have the system up and running, and so far, I am delighted.

[@NGVP2]

Do you need an Ethernet cable for each point, or just one for the main router?

[@kingward8426]

@@NGVP2 Main router. Ethernet cable included.

[@NGVP2]

@@kingward8426 Thanks!

[@kingward8426]

The system (Google) has worked out extremely well.

[@SamAbraham]

Nice to see new devices using USB C to make it more mainstream quickly

[@zanerich9460]

Samuel Abraham the Google home mini not having it was kinda dumb on Googles part

[@noah3968]

unknown Unknown i agree i own one. Also the fact the adapter is part of the cable

[@zanerich9460]

Guitar Player it's one of those wires where the brick and cable are stuck together?

[@noah3968]

unknown Unknown yea because its always plugged in but i would prefer it with removable adapter

[@zanerich9460]

Guitar Player yeah I prefer sperate too. Mostly because even if the brick or wire break you can just exchange them for another. Instead of wasting a perfectly good brick, because the wire ripped.

[@akshay5895]

Amazing Review! The thing I like so much about this channel is how you focus on the setup/unboxing/UI that most others don't. UI coverage makes this review so much more complete and informative to watch.

[@EmoVeganFan1]

It's honestly super cool how it shows where you can have the most wifi speed

[@MartinLawlietProioxix]

Really fantastic system, looks easy to use too. A lot of options for the user to play around with and it looks clean to boot. Good job Google, and fantastic unboxing and review as always.

[@KojiCO-ConvinceM]

Strange you're having problems with the airport extreme, i've used that device with a pair of airport express is extending the Wi-Fi range, for the last six years no disconnections and never ever have had to reboot even once. It's so reliable that you forget it's even there. That's the only reason it's making me hesitant in picking up this device, because my devices are the older model that does not have AC. But if this is as reliable as you say, I think this will be the next upgrade for my house in a couple of months the Wi-Fi speed will help a great deal

[@JonathanPerez80]

Great review, not overly detailed but enough to a good understanding of the product and it's functionality, awesome job.

[@chayevans160]

What did you use as screen capture?? Was it off the iOS App Store??

[@michaelkeaton32]

I'm glad you made this video, we're having issues with our internet (just like you said, devices dropping, etc.). I'll be getting these when I get home.

[@ismaelochoa6]

OH my god. You're so close to 1mil.

[@ShellymanStudios]

Google WiFi looks awesome! I'm considering to get one for the holidays.

[@HendrikDelagrange]

Thanks for this comprehensive walktrough. How happy are you with the speed? Apparently it does have a seperate wireless technology for communicating between the hubs, so that it does not 'piggyback' on the wifi connection used for communicating with the devices?

[@PrestonMcNair]

Thank you so much for the breakdown. This is one of the Made by Google devices I was excited for this year.

[@DaneOLeary]

I'd kinda thought these things were unnecessary and Google simply cashing in on all the Google fanboys who were going to throw money down for these things no matter what. But I'm starting to see some real benefits to having these. I think you've sold me on them!

[@rayek84]

I’m confused, do I have my own router and then these extend it throughout the house? Or they or new routers on their own?

[@normaltnavn]

connect the main google in the router u already have.

[@JasonZakrajsek]

They're new routers. They can be used purely as extenders, but they're designed to be used mainly as a replacement for your old router

[@djlopez33]

nice! love this in depth and thorough review on the google wifi setup. thanks for your thorough reviews always. great job!

[@hyperprestige7370]

Is this a router or is this just a enhancer that extends your current routers wifi coverage?

[@PeytonB]

Is the mesh network actually different than two Apple routers? I have a Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme on each end of my house, and from my experience the handoff between routers is seamless/unnoticeable.

[@alext3063]

I'm really confused. Do these things provide wifi and you pay google for the usage or do they just extend the signal around your house??

[@sunilvarmadatla]

this is just regular router.. other 2 will work as wifi range extender... you still need to pay to internet service provider like comcast or Verizon...

[@DetroitBORG]

+Alex T You connect this to your ISP or internet service provider to create a wireless network in the house.

[@ThePTurtle115]

DetroitBORG the wifi in my house is absolute garbage, are these good?

[@PatrickVerst]

Just bought Google WiFi a few days ago. Significantly faster and more reliable than the Linksys router and Netgear extender we were using before and very easy to set up.

[@alexanderbravosanchez1920]

Would you have to have internet installed in your home in order for this to work ? And or do you have to pay monthly for this?

[@GoldiesCeee]

I’m confused... so this doesn’t give you internet... you have to have it align your home & this just extends it so you can have WiFi??

[@richardolko6660]

If you were issued a Wireless Gateway (modem and router in one unit), you need to bridge the device as only a modem and then only use the #1 Ethernet port to the first mesh WiFi point. This avoids double NAT problems.

[@antrod8014]

Did you mean dozens of devices connected to your modem, or does one of these routers act as a modem. Also does it work for both Cable and DSL. Thanks in advance. Great reviews as always.

[@NPC10912]

Ultimately they are routers that are connected to your modem. Dunno about the dsl but for cable internet they are fantastic.

[@kyriakoskarmiotis8471]

Nice Video! If i am going to use 3 of them, is it necessary that all three are connected via Ethernet cable? Can i just connect only 1 and then the others to receive the signal through the main router (that is connected with ethernet)?

[@jaydentime5266]

Do you have to pay per month for data or is it unlimited and you just have to buy it cause if I don't have to pay every month it is on my shopping list

[@Vylkeer]

The only thing missing from this system is MU-MIMO support. Since this is a 2-year old product, they could refresh it by adding that and whatever else is currently missing from it.

[@cheese9812]

Most in depth review. All I wanted to see was the advanced networking tab.

[@pmrp12]

Excellent review! Ordered the 3 pack and looking forward to replacing my current unreliable extended setup: AirPort Extreme > MoCA hardwire > Airport Express. Speed is great, but consistency is poor. Like you said, I think it has to do with the device handoffs between the two zones and the added complexity. I suspect the mesh network will handle these handoffs and consistency better?

[@jiniyadav4140]

[@watchmanexpert]

Question ,are you happy with google Wi-Fi after 11 months ? Any problem ?

[@mikewold1347]

Now does it replace your current wifi or do have to use the your wifi in order to use it

[@musachaudhry1529]

Second, Hey Mike!! How are you doing today buddy! Thank you sooo much for this review!! #AbouttogetSurgury but DetroitBORG posted a video!! Thank you

[@Mzfancyy]

Can this be replaced with Cable internet or you have to connect it to your cable internet services?

[@TouchMe117]

Wait so these wifi points are actually extenders for a wifi router? Or is it a router that you can pay inside the app?

[@leontronics]

Great video man, If I may ask what is the LAN speed with the google wifi, does it get slower having 3 wireless routers?

[@TimConnor]

It seems to be a great device and faster than anything I have ever had

[@anng3ls294]

thumbs up for the surface studio & the aroua lights

[@anng3ls294]

i bet if he gets 10k likes on this video hes gonna do a review & giveaway of the daydream Vr what do you think?

[@75ss]

Did you just plug in the direct connection from the net provider or is it a connection from the net provider modem/router?

[@See_Sharp]

Google now knows where you are in your own house. "Google Now".

[@aldenflorio8756]

So what

[@serialtoon]

Is there a way to manage the wifi network via a PC web browser much like "typical" routers are managed? Thanks for the video and loved how detailed it was.

[@MQMirza95]

If you daisy chain each of the routers with Ethernet cables you can get even stronger signals.

[@hat1324]

Forgive me for asking, but what is the benefit of this product in a 3 router configuration? There's still only one hop between any 2 routers so doesn't it act very similar to a standard router with two repeaters? I can understand the potential scalability in the future but I doubt many homes need that much more coverage. Is QoS or handoff significantly better?

[@anirudhkulkarni6519]

Google-always innovative

[@Demobot1]

Another A+ production. Lots of good info there.

[@P-tricky13]

would you still recommend this, or is there a better solution now?

[@HafizThunder]

Hey DetroitBORG, what do you do with all the device that you unboxing after doing the review?

[@androgent8743]

I think he stores them away or sells/returns them.

[@zynan]

Do you love your new Surface Studio?

[@rudde7251]

They should have had an optional RJ45 for WAN in the power adapter, so you would only have to have the ONE USB-C into the device even for the primary one!

[@TRXC8]

I currently use an Apple AirPort Extreme, should I get this or the Nighthawk X6?

[@kennethkuehnl2588]

Ty for the video...Does a range extender do the same thing as this mesh unit?

[@salahalhajri]

Hi, great video, I am thinking to buy it, is it international compatible, and I have a huawei router whuch is connected to isp, can these Google wifi connect tobit wirelessly, and extend the rang, regards

[@JBATuts]

Did you find some way to integrate your Time Capsule's internal storage into the Google WiFi system, so that you can easily access your files on there? Did you find a way to connect them?

[@MrChris396]

[@jibx3439]

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately Google Wifi isn't available in Europe yet, but i'm looking for any advice on how it compares to Netgear's Orbi system? i.e. Dual vs tri-band, ease of installation and use, security (against hacking), etc. Thanks.

[@artransue]

Does this device provided the wifi or do you still need a Wi-Fi provider for example xfinity? Also how much per month?

[@ASMRremedy]

Ashley Transue yes I have the same question!

[@SidEffecT883]

Yes peoples! Don’t be fooled, you still need a provider! Would be nice if that wasn’t the case

[@junitolopez3762]

Nice review Mike. I definitively going to give it a try. Ive been waiting for something like this for a minute. Is time to retire my Linksys 2.4 GHZ router after almost eighteen years of reliable service.

[@alexgillis6154]

Are you considering unboxing the Amazon Echo?

[@TechXSoftware]

But 1, is it as fast as the 'night hawk' router? 2 is it a router with modem build in? 3 Does is support NBN? being a a new broadband in Australia.

[@TechXSoftware]

***** That sucks, night hawk is the way to go then. haha

[@hat1324]

TechXSoftware It probably works with a Nighthawk just fine

[@hat1324]

or just get a surfboard

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

I preordered a 3-pack. My house is 1700 sq ft, on three stories, on an 8000 sq ft property. I want wifi everywhere on my property. Will the 3-pack be enough or will I need more? If I need more units, how many can be added in total to the single Mesh system? Thanks.

[@edurbina8481]

that was a great, informative video, I'm definitely getting this. also I would like to see a video on how all Google home items work together. thanks

[@georgelaun1346]

How may points can you attach? Is there a maximum distance between each point?

[@shobuddy]

I have several live ethernet ports throughout the home that are connected to the router in the basement. Can the Google wifi devices be connected to these ports for a better signal? Or is only the primary device connected and the rest operate wirelessly?

[@FE59FE59]

Can you plug all the access point in using an ethernet cable, or is it only the first one?

[@darrenlindsey5292]

On the underside is the power connection, the ethernet plug in, what is the other plugin? Can i use this for a Security camera?I want this out in my shed.

[@anishajohnson2596]

I'm thinking of purchasing Xfinity pre paid wifi would I need to purchase this as well or would this replace the Xfinity device?

[@wilsonjevin]

Is it like wifi extenders where you hav to change what wifi u r on or is each capsule the same wifi profile.

[@oldnewgaming9447]

I have a question so you don’t have to pay a monthly fee to use it?

[@three1seven419]

Can you connect all 3 of them to your network via Ethernet and not just one of them? I don’t trust having the other 2 work as repeaters. I’d prefer if they were connected as traditional access points. Unless someone could convince me otherwise.

[@howardzhang3055]

Have a question. Do you still have to pay monthly for internet, or is it included. I dont know how it works because all the other wifi routers for example shaw or telus has to pay monthly.

[@jeffreywalden868]

[@ernestoalonzo7771]

So then would you still have to pay a monthly bill to keep the WiFi on? How does that work?

[@fahadoutlook1241]

I have some very important questions: 1) can we connect to wifi mesh AP with wire. so that it may overcome signal interference. 2) I know when connect to wifi router with same SSID and password. device remain connected to first router SSID until out of range. how mesh wifi work ? how it shift to strongest and nearest AP intelligently ? how it possible ?
