Google Nest Wifi - AC2200 - Mesh WiFi System - Wifi Router - 2200 Sq Ft Coverage - 1 pack

Tips:1- Do not be affraid of installation, it was very simple.The routers and the points -or 2 routers in this case- create a mesh by themselves wihtout any user intervention.The app guides you through the process. As a tech guy, this was so easy I feel guilty :p2- This mesh will improve your WiFi speed across the house for any internet service up to about 600-700 Mbps, I daresay. WiFi has its limitations, anything above that is wishfull thinking due to the harware constraints of our current phones and devices. But... the real improvement is not the "speed" itself (read below).3- This is the 2 router pack, not the classsic "router" and "point/Google assistant" pack. I chose this one expressly since the routers have ethernet LAN RJ45 jacks (ports), which the "points" lack, because my house is already wired with LAN ethernet cable and I already have plenty of "hey google" things around =)Note: you will need proper harware to get anything above 50 Mbps, e.g.: Cat. 5e or Cat. 6 cable , and if you use an ethernet switch make sure it is Gigabit compliant, otherwise stick to the standasrd WiFi mesh, you'll be surprised: this WiFi mesh will be faster than a 10/100 cable or a "Fast Ethernet" switch.4- It is fast, indeed, but take note: since the mesh talks in both directions, there will be a natural minimal speed loss when connected to a "point" (or the secondary "router" in this case). E.g.: when the mesh is connected wirelessly (pure WiFi mesh), I get 100 Mbps near the router and 50-70 Mbps near the "point"; but when wired (ethernet backhaul between the 2 routers) I get 80-100 Mbps near the "point". I think this is expected, completely normal due to the 2-way wireless communication between both mesh devices.5- My ISP installed a coaxial Modem/Router combo unit in my house, I was affraid of the dared double-NAT menace, but to my relief they got allong surprisingly well.Actually, I kept my original WiFi network and the new nest mesh network up simultaneously for a couple days, while migrating everything (the easy and recommended way would have been to disable the old WiFi network and use the same SSID name and password on the new one, but I wanted to experiment a little).Anyhow, although they seemed to work fine together, I decided to turn off the ISP Modem/Router's WiFi radios to avoid any possible interference. WiFi can be grumpy when crowded.6- I chose the newest "Nest" WiFi mesh routers over the previous "Google" WiFi mesh or the Nest points because they have:a) faster WiFi conection (AC2200 vs AC1200),b) bigger area coverage (205 m2 vs 140 m2),c) more antennas (4x4 vs 2x2) andd) the capability of transmitting data to multiple devices simultaneously (MU-MIMO vs no-nothing). THIS is paramount. The improvement is noticeable when the kids are watching video streams and playing games while I hold to that important zoom meeting.(Note: The Nest points do have MU-MIMO, too, but lack the extra speed and extra coverage of the Nest routers. In exchange, they double as Google assistant speakers, so choose your potion)7- Get both apps, Google Home and Google Wifi. They seem to be migrating everything from Google WiFi to Google Home, but meantine get both! Google WiFi gives some extra options such as a speed test of all connected devices or information about the connection type between points, wired or wireless.In conclusion, the real "speed", the improvement over a standard WiFi network is not measured in Mbps by Speedtest, it's not even the extended coverage or the transparent, automatic handling of WIFi when moving around the house without hiccups nor the beamforming technology which sends the WiFi signal straight toyour device: it's how it handles devices and distributes bandwidth, making each device in my house faster individually, all at the same time, keeping my data transmission speedy and steady when the kids are squeezing the WiFi signal and my internet bandwidth.The only thing I would have wished for is WiFi 6 support (future proof). Otherwise well done, Google. I'm impressed. I have spoken.

I bought my first Google Nest wifi and the router hooked up easy but the two additional points that came with it wouldn't connect. Called customer service the young lady tried everything she could but when instructed to scan QR codes error code came up as wrong code. So then she said she sent it to the "Escalation deptpartment". They were horrible. Only communicated by email days apart at random times when I wasn't home. Asked me to send all sorts of printouts from my computer as if I was an IT professional. Finally after 2 weeks of back and forth I just contacted Amazon said the unit was defective and wanted to exchange it. Got new one the next day. Took it out of the box and got the entire system up and running in 20 minutes. Product works great but evidentually the customer service can't speak English or Google is too cheap to have live top level customer service reps.

I needed a point that also had ethernet, so bought this to add to my existing google mesh network. It works great as a point instead of router. Seller is also good. Item is in great condition in manufacters packaging. All parts expected included and works well. Very happy.

It was easy to set up, and the range is slightly better than that of the Xfinity box, but it could be better.

Attention to all those who were SCARED OFF from the reviews!!!This was a very easy install. If you’ve read the reviews a lot of people are complaining that it’s two routers instead of a router and and point.People are saying it’s very difficult to install since it’s two routers it’s all nonsense. I’m gonna take you through my install.All you do is download Google Home and you plug the first router into your modem and set it up.Then you take the second router into whatever room you want to be in for me it was upstairs and you plug that into the power only.Then on Google Home you click set up another point (which is the default so you just click the NEXT button).At that point you just wait until it sets it up. I had an error the first time but then you just click find again and it finds it.The reason is it takes about one minute for the router to warm up and I didn’t wait. No biggieOnce you do that it creates a mesh and it’s perfect and works perfectly.The idea of having two routers instead of a router and the point is what is scaring people off due to the reviews but you really don’t need to be scared.It’s also a better deal in my opinion since the 2 routers covers more area than a router and a point does.Bottom line is if you have a problem you can return it to Amazon and get all your money back but I installed it all in less than 10 minutes and it’s been phenomenal ever since.I rarely write reviews but the reviews scared me and I took 2 hours to commit to the buy after reading review after review and researching different mesh systems.I wanted people to know just buy it it’s going to work exactly as you want it to work and it doesn’t matter that it’s two routers, it will create a wifi mesh. Just buy it and enjoy don’t waste your time over researching like I did
