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

The improvement is not where you think it is. Totally worth, so simple!
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 (4×4 vs 2×2) and d) 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.

Great upgrade from combo modem/router but took hours to set up
So a full 6 hours of setting this up is insane and google needs better support when they launch a product. No instructions, and 2 hours on the phone with their tech support. Issue was the 2 routers vs the standard extra point (which would have been a simple setup).My first router plugged into my Motorola MG7550 modem with no issues, I disabled the wifi on it so that wouldn’t be an issue. For some reason my speeds were not any better than the modems wifi though. I was really disappointed since I spent $300 on this setup. After resetting it a few times and trying to install the other point I started seeing the speed pickup (using third party app on phone). All of a sudden I was getting 230mbps wifi which is the same as my hard wired speed! I was getting 80mbps max on the motorola wifi. My home server movie files were too big to ever stream with around 50mbps in my bedroom but now its no issue as I am also getting over 200 there.The problem was the second point, which I needed badly in my office across the house, never got a good wifi signal but I have a hard line into there, so it was just annoying for phone use. Figured it would be simple, hook up the hard line (from a switch) to the second router, then since it has the extra port plug that into my computer to keep the hardline going. Yeah no such luck, kept saying “problem connecting to cloud” on the final step of setup, so the wifi networks wouldn’t sync (even though my phone was picking up the second one, it was under a different name) and it wouldn’t connect my computer to the rest of the network.Took an hour of explaining to google support until they finally understood there is a 2 pack of routers that only amazon sells (they kept trying to tell me I had 1 router and a point). Then they said it wouldn’t work with 2 routers unless I wanted 2 wireless networks (which defeats the purpose of this). It turns out the problem was my motorola modem/router still wanting to act as a router, I unplugged everything from it except for the 1 cable going into the nest wifi, then had the witch going out from the nest wifi and even though I turned off wifi on the actual modem I also went in and changed the setting to be a bridge (not sure if that did anything, but goolge help person mentioned it). Then it picked up second router as new mesh point and connected but it was acting like a regular point and not a hard wired router, so the connection sucked. The whole point of me buying this 2 pack instead of the $269 one directly from google was having the 2 hardwired routers for better coverage. Well something finally clicked along the way not exactly sure what it was as we did so many things over the 2 hours on the phone, but its all working now. I have 2 routers hooked up, both hardwired and both sending 100% full strength signal as wifi even though they are completely across the house (where a regular non hard wired point wouldn’t be able to communicate with a router). I am paying for 200mbps from cable company but getting 230-240 on all my tests, hard wired and wifi, which is amazing and anywhere from 3-5 times what I was getting. This is a better/cheaper solution than buying the 3 pack with 2 points unless you really want the google speaker functions (which I didn’t care about).This would easily be 5 star with better support on hooking up multiple routers in mesh mode, and was so painful I almost gave it 3 stars, but the product simply works really well once setup and is easily managed along with all my other google devices and hue lights thru a single app.

Excelente, fácil de instalar, la cobertura aumenta y nada simplemente muy contento con este producto

Funciona a la perfección.Note la diferencia de la intensidad y alcance desde el primer momento. Ya que vivo en una casa de doble piso, el mesh point permitió que el internet llegara y lo disfrutará como nunca.Y por si fuera poco, el buffer del mesh point, suena increíble.Una gran compra sin duda. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
