Google Wifi - AC1200 - Mesh WiFi System - Wifi Router - 4500 Sq Ft Coverage - 3 pack

I had been an IT professional for over 40 years, and am now retired, but remain the IT professional for my household. In that time, I have had to set up many different routers to provide internet service for my home with multiple Alexa devices, Internet TV, and multiple PC's often running at the same time. We have a large, 4500+ square ft., home with two stories and a basement. Our basement has 3 large rooms with concrete walls that have caused dead spots in most parts of the basement. Internet on the second floor works, but devices often need to be reconnect to establish a new connection. I have tried multiple internet extenders and access points that usually worked sporadically. Having to constantly reconnect them and reestablish a connect was frustrating, and I finally gave up on them. I found out about the Google Mesh WIFI system and decided to look into them. I debated on the higher priced system that units include speakers and voice, but decided on this one since we have so many Alexa devices in our home. Another consideration was the cost of the upgraded system since 3 units costs 2 1/2 times more than this one. If you have a number of Google devices it may be worth the extra cost. All I wanted was a dependable WIFI system that would deliver WIFI to our entire house with no dead spots. I am so happy that I chose this WIFI system. After I downloaded and installed the Google Home app, it took me all of 15 minutes to set up the system, and at least 10 of those minutes was used to find the best locations for the satellite units. The app really does it all. There was no setup of the ISP - it was just so simple anyone could set up this system with absolutely no knowledge of setting up a router. You don't have to fool with an internet connection to router software- it's all in the app. Just connect one unit to the Ethernet cable you would connect to the router and scan the QR code on the unit with your phone. After the router unit is connected, plug in the satellite units to electricity and select + at the top left of the screen in the app to add each satellite. I did notice that I had to wait until the light on the new unit stopped blinking and it was finished booting up before connecting. After all of the units are connected, you can check the connections of each and move the units to get the best connections to all of them. Since the Google Home app is also used for the upgraded system, there are a lot of options that don't apply to this system. At this point, I couldn't be happier with this WIFI system. We now have fast internet in every corner of our house, including all of the rooms in the basement. I also tested the this system by taking one of my tablets out to the furthest end of our patio which is 60 feet from the router. I was still able to stream Netflix video with no lag. I should also mention that with this system and router, you don't have a choice on the connections between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The system automatically uses the 5 GHz connection unless the device is too far. Then it will automatically switch to the 2.4 GHz connection. Knowing this is helpful if you need to initially connect a device that uses only 2.4 GHz. You need only to get far enough way from the router for it to switch the the 2.4 GHZ band. After the initial connection, the device will automatically connect to the 2.4 GHz band. When connecting a computer, you don't have to choose a band width, only your network name. I am super happy with this WIFI system, and would highly recommend it. For the first time in years, we have internet service in every area of our house and for an extended area outdoors. Setup was so incredibly easy - so much easier than setting up a router. In addition, the WIFI signal is much better than ever before when checking it with the internet speed tests. Although we have been paying for 10 mbps download, previous to getting this system, our speed was 4-5 mbps. Now, we consistently get 7-9 mbps according to the speed tests. We watch internet TV and no longer have times the programs buffer. In addition, the TV doesn't cut out if we use the microwave. To-date, we have not had to restart any of the devices to get a WIFI signal on any of the 3 floors in our house. UPDATE 8/10/21: We have been using this system for over 2 months, and, to-date have not had to reboot any of the 3 modules. When watching TV (all internet apps), there has not been any buffering even when we use the microwave. The only minor problem I have had is in setting up a device that will connect only to a 2.4 GHz connection. Most peripherals now will use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, so this usually isn't a problem. I did manage to get this device connected using the method described above. At this point, I am thrilled with the performance of this system. Since I am the techy in my house, this means less trouble shooting and less problems for me. UPDATE 01/14/22: We have been using this WIFI system for about 8 months, and I can now say that it is the best we have ever had. I have tried all of the "high-end" routers, and have never had the great connection to WIFI throughout the house that we have now. Since getting this system, I have rebooted the main router only once. With all other routers we have had, it was a regular thing. We use only internet services for our TV, and since getting this system, there has been absolutely no buffering problems. The WIFI signal reaches every part of our 3 story house, and our devices have not had to be reconnected because of connection problems. There are enough problems in life to spend time trying to resolve WIFI connection problems. It's so very nice to not have this problem anymore. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update this review if my opinion changes.

I’ve been using the Google Wifi AC1200 mesh system (3-pack), and it’s been a really solid upgrade for my home. The coverage is excellent—rooms that used to have weak or spotty Wi-Fi now have a strong, reliable signal. Setup was simple and fast, and the app walks you through everything in a way that makes it almost impossible to mess up. One thing I learned pretty quickly, though, is that you need the right router or modem setup for this system to work the way it’s supposed to. If your existing hardware is old or not compatible, you won’t get the full benefit. Once I paired it with the right setup, everything ran smoothly. The mesh network keeps devices connected automatically as I move through the house, and speeds stay consistent without random drops. For everyday streaming, working from home, and general use, it works great. Overall, I’d put this at about a 4.5 out of 5. It’s reliable, covers a big area, and is easy to use—you just have to make sure your router situation is correct before expecting perfect results.

I had been in the market for a mesh wifi system for a few months, since my house has a fairly large footprint for its overall size. I knew that I absolutely did NOT want something with smart speakers built in, so after doing some research, I decided to go with the most recent version of Google Wifi. Setting it up was incredibly easy. I already had the Google Home app, since I use it to cast my phone screen to my TV, so it was just a few clicks to get the initial point set up. After plugging in the other two points, it took a couple of tries for the app/network to actually detect them, but each attempt only took about five seconds. After that, it tested the mesh network, did some updates for about ten minutes, and I was up and running. I kept the same wifi name and password so I wouldn't have to change any of my devices over; weirdly, my Insignia Fire TV Edition was the only device (out of about twenty) that needed to be reconnected. All of my devices, no matter where they are in my house, now have a much stronger connection. I can also walk completely across my house without the signal dropping off, and the dead spots immediately outside of my house seem to be significantly reduced, if not gone. Additionally, my download speed dramatically increased compared to my old router (admittedly, said router was purchased in February 2016, so its age may have played a role). I haven't really done anything with the wifi settings in the app yet, so I can't say how well they work, but I like how easily accessible they all are. The devices are all very small, so they won't get in your way or take up limited space, and are also aesthetically pleasing, so you won't feel compelled to hide them (and negatively impact their connectivity in the process). Overall, I'm very happy with this. Setting up takes about thirty minutes at the most, and it's extremely easy to do. The wifi signal is great, and the connection seems very fast. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable mesh system, especially if they want to avoid anything with smart speakers.

Overall, this is a good WiFi extender and it does what it’s supposed to do. The setup was simple, and it helped extend my WiFi signal in areas where the connection was weaker. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I originally bought it hoping I could connect it directly to my work computer and move freely around the house. Unfortunately, the Ethernet connection still needs to be connected to the main router, so it didn’t work for my specific setup. Other than that, it performs as expected and is a good option if you’re simply looking to extend your WiFi coverage.

Best wifi mesh anyone can buy. I had for 5 years in US now i am using it in Europe and works excellent.

I was having problems with my wifi dropping all the time. A Spectrum representative suggested that I buy this mesh system that he had in his house. It was everything he represented and I have no problem with my wifi anymore.

I spent about 2 weeks buying and returning wifi extenders cause I didnt want to spend more that 60 dlls or so but the more I look into different brands and options I ended up spending a lot of money (that at the end I got refunded after shipping back all the equipment) but it was annoying. I ended up buying this 3 google wifi I only need 2 the other is in the box but buying them separated only gives you 2.4G which is not even near enough. This are definitely 5G super fast and with great connection and now they are 20 dlls cheaper than when I bought them. Not the fastes shipping/delivery but not the slowest, I've seen worst. Overall I couldnt be more pleased with the easy set up and fast and strong signal. It makes the little wait worth it. I have the T Mobile tower and works just fine with it, my wifi signal is awesome. It came in original packagin, just as described. Performs just as described. You wont regret buying this if your wifi signal is not that good this will make it great.

Recomendo! Aumentou consideravelmente o sinal da internet Agora tenho sinal de qualidade em todo terreno da casa e ate em areas comuns no condominio como salao de festas, piscinas e quadras.

الفيش ثنائي ارجو الانتباه من الخيارات

Amazing product, delivered before time, properly packaged. Very easy to install and total control through an application.

i thought to buy Wifi mesh to solve the dead spots issues behind concrete walls , well , this system didn't solve it . i would say any other system that dose not support a wired back-haul connection will also not solve it . it has a premium build quality and very intelligent software and will work amazingly in open space , but if you have concrete walls in your home , don't waste your money. the only solution is to buy a system where you can connect all the nodes with main unit through a wired connection .

Son fáciles de instalar y configurar con la aplicaciónde google. Se necesitan mínimo 2 piezas para que funcione la red. Yo tengo 3 piezas y la verdad si ayudó a estabilizar la red y velocidad del Internet en mi casa. Ya no tengo perdida de señal ni lag al jugar en línea. Son algo pequeños y no ocupan tanto espacio. Si recomiendo el producto.
