Good review. Love the Google mesh (original because my house is hardwired and original units all have CAT5 inputs) because it is strong and reliable. However in order to manage your network, you must use Google home and that is absolutely the worst network user interface. Orbi has much more solid app to manage your network by. If you try to lock down your network to unwanted devices it's extremely difficult to identify the units you want to let in IE when you have guests and they need access to the network. You must go through multiple screens to identify the IP address or Mac address of any new devices. Very frustrating.

Just got this Wi-Fi router today and I’m very happy. Hooked up the ps5 with the Ethernet port and my pc is more stable as well.

[@gyulaweber3551]

Good review. I think it's important to add that you can NOT manage your router if you don't have internet access.

What would your approximate download speed be in your office, if you were using that Google Wi-Fi node wirelessly?

Best and simple product … I can’t understand why google launched nest wifi with speaker , seriously why u need speaker for wifi enablers ? Ok coming to google wifi I moved from apartment to a house where Att Modem sits in a enclosed closet room and wifi was pathetic I was wondering in apartment I had same internet package why it is so bad in new home . It’s because wifi signal from closed closet room cannot cover 90% of the house. I bough this google wifi and plugged it in my living room and issue solved immediately. Already love this product

[@erico6117]

The reason the att modem was in that closet Im assuming that’s the main circuit board with all the Ethernet cables located. If that modem is in that closet connected to the circuit board it means that your house is ready to be connected via Ethernet from any room in the house. We also have the att modem connected to the circuit board in the closet. We don’t even need a Wi-Fi extender because all of our Ethernet lines in every room is ready to be connected to an extender or directly to any PC or consoles.

@@erico6117 Ur 100% … I came from wireless background so it took a while to understand this process … the house has Ethernet outlet everywhere which means no wireless connection needed .. thanks for the reply 🙏

[@thefrostyvette876]

If I have the Nest already that comes with the two pack and one performs like an Alexa, can I add these as extenders for dead spots?

Are these good for gaming??? I've switched between 3 different wifi providers now and still lag very badly. Would this be a good alternative??

Do I need to schedule someone to come out to set it up if I already have the device ?

[@BestBuyBlog]

Hi, Google does provide directions to help you set up the system yourself, however the Best Buy Geek Squad is also available to set up the system for you: www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/services/geek-squad-smart-home-network-setup/blt794a0b5391498f0f#wifinetworking

[@vulcan4d]

Your best bet is to wire them all up instead of relying on the wifi mesh if you want the best performance.

[@Liittlebrother]

Do you wire them directly to each other?

[@BS-ef1qn]

@@Liittlebrother I think Vulcan is referring the using the ethernet port on the mesh system and then on the device, (ps4/5, Xbox, pc etc)

Hi, yes you can add a fourth node to Google's mesh Wi-Fi- system.

Hi, these routers do not support Wi-Fi 6.
