Probably works but I can't figure out how to make it work!
I have tried at least 6 times and my wife has tried at least 3 times to complete the setup for this "thing". We have been unsuccessful even though we have used directions provided by Google, on-line forums and who knows what else. Why must it be so difficult? I am a retired IT specialist and understand technical things but this is AWFUL.

Love this hub!
We have used a variety of hubs and this has been a household favorite. The Google was new for us so we had to learn how to use it. The set up was easy. The white is a nice accent and addition to the room.

Good deal
Its a little slow to review my wifi cameras, and difficult to get them to come on when requesting. The alarm options is a little difficult to maneuver. I think it could be a little better user friendly. The sound audio is good for what it is, nothing amazing like the google nest audio speaker, but its clear at high volume. I like some of the options it has to play a...

Response from Staples :
Hi JPNES, thanks for your feedback on Nest Hub (2nd Gen). It's unfortunate to hear that you are experiencing some difficulty streaming the video feed from your security cameras.
Here are some recommended steps to help you with the issue:
- Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
- You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.
If you encounter any further issue, please consider contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest Hub
I thought it allowed video calls so I was disappointed because that was the main reason I got this. The Nest Hub Max is the correct option for reciprocal video calls. Otherwise, it has a nice picture and is super easy to set up and use.

Better than expected
I got the Google home on a whim because I wanted a better night stand interface to control the lights and see the weather report. As expected it was easy to set up but what was unexpected was how simple and intuitive the interface was. I appreciate it the default dashboard interface being incredibly simple.

Hi Raaaj, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear that Nest Hub (2nd Gen) didn’t meet your expectations.
Sometimes, your Nest Hub (2nd Gen) might not activate when you say “Hey Google” or “Ok Google,” particularly in a noisy environment. If this frequently happens, you can make it more sensitive to the Hotword. Retraining your device to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may fix the issue.
Retrain Voice Match:
- On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
- At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
- Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.
Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to Hey Google:
- Open the Google Home app.
- At the bottom, tap Home.
- Select your speaker or Smart Display.
- At the top right, tap Device settings > Audio > “Hey Google” sensitivity.
- Choose how sensitive you want Google Assistant to be when it responds to you.
We value your feedback as we are always working to improve our products and services. If you need assistance, you can always contact our support team. We’d be happy to help and improve your experience here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
