Google Nest WiFi Pro - Wi-Fi 6E - Reliable Home Wi-Fi System with Fast Speed and Whole Home Coverage - Mesh Wi-Fi Router - Snow

I have a 4,000 sq ft house and bought this to replace a regular modem with an access point. I bought the 3 pack and added a fourth point. The coverage is much worse than my old WiFi. We have a wood frame house with Sheetrock walls so shouldn’t be a major issue getting signals from room to room. They are correct when they say the points should be placed no more than 2 rooms away from each other (20-30 ft). The primary reason I bought this was so I wouldn’t have to use the access point modem but the rooms over my garage are too far away to join the mesh system, even though they in the line of sight from the nearest point. I had to add the fourth point using Ethernet cable and, for some reason, my WiFi speed for that point drops from 350mbps to 90mbps. I tried reinstalling the access point modem and adding the point to that but it still has the 90mpbs speed. I’ve spent much too long trying to get this system to work. I haven’t used a mesh system before but am confident there are other products out there with better coverage, easier setup, and a better price point.

I love these but I feel a bit crossed by them. The signal is great and the 6E is wonderful. But compared to it's pears, it is one of the slowest routers in all bandwidths. Not that they are horribly slow or anything. It's certainly enough. But I expected more.If you're a tech savvy individual like me who really needs to log into the server and make important tweeks, this router is not for you. Google's router settings are incredibly limited. I mean it's next to nothing and very disappointing. I own a large smart home and I get interference from the neighbors wifi along with zigbee devises. It's not a big deal if you can change the wifi channels to less populated ones. But, Google prefers an automatic approach and doesn't allow you to manually change the channel. That is incredibly annoying and if I sell these on ebay, that will be my main motivation. Google came so close but messed it up with the software.... something they are known to be great at. How???

Very easy set up works very well with most smart products.

As far as ease of setup and ease of use, this is one of the best routers I've had the displeasure of using. Google's automated setup and troubleshooting assistance can help with most simple issues, and does an ok job with recommendations to fix.That being said, if you need to customize or configure your network to work in a specific way, there is no local web interface, and most of the options are heavily limited to ensure a stable network.In conclusion, this router is quick to setup, easy to use, and reliable so far, but lacks more in-depth customization options.

Google you make me so happy with your easy use. And tracking. Yes.
