Google WiFi System, 1-Pack - Router Replacement for Whole Home Coverage - NLS-1304-25,white

A year and a half later, my Google WiFi up and died. Factory resets haven’t worked. Calls with tech support have been comical. The last call with support involved asking me to launch a terminal window, run a trace route to google.com, and have the tech claim that the speeds were too slow and that the issue was with my ISP. Despite the fact that the ping didn’t time out or take more than 60 milliseconds total. Utter trash. And the app is garbage if you have any real issues. $300 down the drain.

The system isnt cheap but its worth it. My wifi speeds close to the main unit are almost as fast as my wired speeds. Most impressive, though, is this Speedtest that I ran at the far end of my home where I had previously received such a weak signal that my phone switched to my data plan. This took minutes to set up and exceeded my expectations with regards to speed.

I purchased this hoping it would resolve some intermittent wifi issues at home, and it has done a great job so far. Due to they way my house is wired, we only had one good spot to place the cable modem. Our previous router (an older model Apple airport) did a good job covering most of the house, except for one room on the opposite side of the house as the wifi router. The signal passed through several walls and a chimney and the connection would often drop. I tried solving the problem with a repeater and that worked a little better, but not 100%. I installed the three google wifi points and my wifi has been trouble free, and it even works reliably in the back yard now. Pros: Solved tricky wifi problem, good speed, easy set up, decent admin app. Cons: Expensive, no ip accessible admin page, must be a Google user, requires app to administer. Overall, its great and I recommend it because it solved my annoying wifi issues.

I have never owned a router this easy to set up and manage. Set up took minutes via the phone app, and it has worked perfectly for over a year and a half now. I can monitor who is on my network, what they are doing and disconnect them if I need to. Also three of these provide a HUGE coverage area and I can reach my network for most of my dogs walk.

Great system works great and easy to install. O had it for 2 months and no problems.

Wow! Ive been trying for years to get decent wifi coverage in my 2,800 sq ft home. Ive bought multiple high end expensive routers in the past but really had limited success. Google wifi has solved that problem. Yes, as some have said, you have limited advanced routing capabilities that you can configure. That aside, it simply works. Plug it in and go! My most distant point in the house has gone from a Speedtest of about 1mb/1mb up/down to maxing out my connection 80mb/78mb. That same speed is consistent throughout the house. If you need more than basic wifi, you can work around a few things (static IP for example) but it isnt intuitive. For most homes, this is an amazing upgrade!

What a massive difference. The router provided via the internet provider couldnt cover my three floors. Google Wifi fixed all dead spots in my house and improved wifi performance. 5 stars.

Nice to see an easy to use and effective networking product. We now have great coverage everywhere in our home!

I just installed this today and wow this was impressive. I always had coverage issues and had trouble with extenders and powerline solutions. This resolved those issues. Setup was fairly easy and managing devices is a breeze through the app. I uploaded some speed tests to show you the difference in my download and upload speeds. These results could have probably been recreated with other solutions, but by far this was the easiest to implement. Overall, I have been very happy with Google wifi. It even had some of the more advanced features I needed for dhcp ip reservations and port forwarding. If you look at the speed tests post Dec 10 youll see the difference. I installed it mid day on Dec 10 and immediately noticed the speed improvements. I have three floors and used three routers.

Extremely easy to set up. Extended Wifi signal.
