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

Plug and play and east to use. Thats where I stop with positive remarks. You are not able to set this up with a preexisting router or firewall. If you want to use the mesh networking of Google Wifi then you end up with two network segments and double NATs. I tried for two days to find a way around with advanced routing and bridge option with OPNsense firewall with no luck. you will always be left with two NATs, two DHCP servers and two networks. setup is modem>OPNsense (4ports) >LAN / Wifi / and DMZ also there is no web interface for this only the app. If you are looking for plug and play it works well but if you are wanting to do more advanced and controlled network there is no way to make this work. Sadly Im past the return period.

This is such a great system, was very easy to setup and I love how it does self checks and tells me how fast things are running or if the internet goes down.

Very good products, which cover the whole house. However, Costco sell bundle of 4 at lower price.

Stronger signal throughout the house! Eliminated all of the dead areas in my 3600 sqft home

Very easy to install. I had much higher expectations for coverage though. Being 25 away from a pod with 200mb service and I get less than 10mb performance.

Ive tried Wi-Fi extenders, Wireless Access Points, and Powerline adapters with little to no success...and then Google Wi-Fi walked into my life. I decided to pick one of them up to extend my wireless signal throughout our home and setup a 4 hub mesh network with Google WiFi

It did not serve the purpose. I have great speed from xfinity. I needed help with stretching the area covered. Based on 1500 sqF house need, got only one. My signal strength has not improved other rooms. Needs smartphones since it requires an app. Of course the solution would be spend money on second one. But I feel deceived already that I don’t feel like wasting money again on another one. Just doing work from the primary room where the internet router is.

This item works great. I’ve always had issues with coverage in my game room on the opposite end of my house. Now no lag in performance anywhere in the house.

Simple set up, the app does it all for you. Increased my download speed in the dead spot to 85Mps!

These little devices are the best Ive ever seen at keeping my WiFi strong, fast, and free of dead zones! Their ability to mesh network and always find optimal channels results in the fastest WiFi Ive ever seen in my fairly large and old house (4,000 sq ft, built in 1926). In the past two years, Ive been through several sets of wireless routers. First there was the Arris modem & router that I bought to use with my home system. If I was lucky, Id get ~ 26mb/s if I was close to it, and less than 8mb/s if I was upstairs in my bedroom. Then, after reading reviews, I bought the Asus AC1900. This was supposed to save all my problems. I saw no improvement over the Arris modem, and the speeds were the same. Oh...turns out I needed to try and exploit my 5GHz channel to try and get higher than 30mb/s. Then the Asus AC1900 burnt out, and it was useless. Next I tried the Netgear Nighthawk, and while I occasionally saw speeds up to 41mb/s, it wasnt delivering ANY strength to the upstairs of my house. At this time, I was switching between home internet service with a peak of either 30mb/s or 45mb/s. Cue the Google hardware. I immediately started getting 48mb/s all through my ground floor, and about 41mb/s upstairs (using a total of 5 devices). I switched to 75mb/s home wifi last week, and now Im getting 88mb/s close to my hub, and 81mb/s throughout the rest of the house. This system is great! Additionally, there are many great controls within the Google app that help me manage device usage and scheduling - an important consideration with my kids (ages 12 and 15). I can put them on a diet as to how much time they get online each day, and its dead simple to set up guest networks and control access on a device-by-device basis. The Google app has really intuitive scheduling services, and it also allows me to share network access with guests via texts, email, etc. The scheduling and access functions can, in many ways, take the place of paid services or extra devices such as Disneys Circle. Im incredibly impressed by this system. Its about time someone made home networking gear that anyone can use, and where you dont need to be a networking engineer to configure and run the system!
