Nest wifi
I have purchased two nest routers and 6 points, for two different properties. I recommend the this mesh system because it is very easy to set up overall. It allows you to set a guest network with a separate password. It works well with other nest or goggle products like doorbells, cameras, lights, etc. The only issue is the Google home app which links and controls all t...

Not Reliable
Sometimes the POINTS and/or ROUTER requires “factory reset” often. NOT reliable as my cheap Linksys single node router that lasted reliably for over 6 years. I’ve heard Netgear

Enjoying my Nest WiFi
We installed the mesh network in our large house when we moved in. The coverage from the 4 access points is 4 bars of signal throughout the house and yard. The voice control is very nice as well when you are in the rooms with the units. Very satisfied and highly recommend.

Works like its supposed to
I bought this to expand my nest wifi system and to also connect my TV with an Ethernet cable rather that just wifi. My TV would occasional drop the wifi connection. No problem now!

Just buy it
I upgraded to this nest wifi from the original. I’ve done some work in IT and understand how routers work fairly well. These google mesh systems are great. They are easy to setup, provide very good coverage, and auto update. Just buy them.

Very good overall device
The speed on this is great. Faster then my Google wifi router. Love the backwards compatibility with Google wifi and to be able to use Google wifi as points. Something I would have liked is to have the Nest Wifi Router also funtion as a Google speaker with Google assistant. The setup was easy. The product has been functioning as it should.

So far so good...
I have only had it in place for a couple of weeks and it seems to be strong. A little miffed that you can't run the system in bridge mode with mesh coverage. I think this is short-sighted. I would like this to be a wireless extension of my wired network. I had a Deco from TP-Link that could but then again it seems to die annually. After my second time at the rodeo ...

Horrible speeds
Without the mesh point, it worked great. Had it for about a year that way. Once I added the mesh, it all went downhill. Even if I remove the mesh point, the router does not revert back to how great it was working before.I've restarted, reset, factory reset... you name it! Nothing helps.Google it and you'll see it is an issue that Google has not fixed, despite knowing ab...

Hi vincentpaul33, thanks for sharing your experience. We regret to learn that you’re experiencing connectivity issues with your Nest Wifi.
You may need to restart your modem, even if your modem appears to be working fine, to establish a secure connection to the Wi-Fi point. Wi-Fi signal and connectivity will still depend on other factors like interference, multiple devices using both bandwidths on your router and the older Wi-Fi chips on your devices that might not be able to support these speeds. If you're using a modem/router combo, set it in bridge mode and disable its Wi-Fi functionality to avoid double NAT issues.
We also suggest these simple steps that might help:
- Move the connected device closer to your Wifi router or point.
- Repositioning the points to avoid obstructions like walls, doors, and aquariums can improve performance.
- Make sure all unused devices are off and not draining bandwidth with large downloads.
- Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerators or other equipment.
- Run a mesh test to confirm placement of your Wifi points.
If the issue persists, we’re hoping to learn more about your feedback so we can figure out a way to help improve your experience. If you’re willing to get in touch and share more details about this, you may contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest Wifi checks most of the boxes
Easy set up, good price, good coverage. Only obvious downside is lack of Ethernet ports on all but the router.

Hi Peter Paul, thanks for sharing your experience. We regret to hear that you have to reset your Nest Wifi router and points multiple times.
If you haven’t yet, we recommend trying out some tips below to help isolate the issue:
- As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. For example, if the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it part way in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf.
- Building materials and other objects located between your Nest Wifi Points and mobile devices may slow your connection. If possible, try to use your device within a clear line of sight to your primary and secondary Points.
- There could be signal interference due to traffic on your Wi-Fi network, on your neighbors' Wi-Fi networks, or from other sources like microwaves or baby monitors.
If you'd like us to take a look at the issue, feel free to contact our support team so we can help you further. You can visit our help page using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Upgrade from Onhub almost flawless with consistent uninterrupted coverage.
Upgraded from Onhub using same SSID and password so that some 40 devices reconnected automatically with no problems. The only thing unexpected was that the existing access points had to be manually reset before adding to the system via Google Home and my existing Onhub router was not compatible with Google Nest and therefore could not be used as an extra access point as...

Best Router Ever
I have tried Netgear among several other routers. None have been able to handle all the devices in my household (over 20). Not only does the Google Nest handle all the devices, their connectivity is faster and stronger. I bought a second one and really didn't need it. LOVE IT. No more wifi connection problems in my household!!!

Doesn’t work
Have tried for 2 years in 2 different houses, but this product just won’t stay on line. Constantly drops connection and is completely unreliable. I’d like to have my money back. Because at this point it’s just going in the trash.

Hi A2bdw, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Wifi. It’s unfortunate to learn that it won’t stay online and constantly drops connection. We can see how frustrating it could have been for you and we apologize for the inconvenience it has caused.
It is important to check the placement of your Wi-Fi router and point, which are vital to have reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. As a general rule, points work best when they’re no more than two rooms away from each other. For example, if the far end of your house has weak Wi-Fi, don’t put a Wifi point in that exact spot. Instead, put it part way in that direction. Try to place it in an elevated position like on a shelf.
It may be helpful to try the following steps to see if the Wi-Fi connectivity will improve:
- Move the connected device closer to your Wifi router or point.
- Repositioning the points to avoid obstructions like walls, doors, and aquariums can improve performance.
- Make sure all unused devices are off and not draining bandwidth with large downloads.
- Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerators or other equipment.
- Run a mesh test to confirm placement of your Wifi points.
