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

Replaced my Apple AirPort Extreme with the 3 pack Google Wifi. Wow! What a difference this makes. Streaming 4K video on multiple Smart televisions, kids playing Xbox live, 20 smart home devices connected. Everything running smooth!! Highly recommend this product.

First off I want to say that so far I have had no issue pertaining to networking or internet issues with the Google WiFi system and it has performed as advertised. However, the one issue I have had is with one of the access points triggering a motion detector on my alarm system creating constant false alarms. I have had an alarm system for 4 years and never had any issues other than low batteries in wireless sensors. Then about few weeks ago I started having false alarms very often that were triggered by my basement motion detector. I had a alarm tech come over and look over the motion and its position, its sensitivity, battery and everything else. He couldnt find anything wrong. In any case he swapped out the motion. Then that night another false alarm. Finally I decided to bypass the motion so I could get some sleep but keep an eye on the history log to see how many times it was being activated. It was being activated quite a lot everyday but with no meaningful pattern. Finally I started searching online for answers and came across a post in a alarm company forum about possible interference between motion detectors and access points or routers. After reading it I realized I had just purchased the google WiFi mesh network a few weeks back. I looked through my logs and emails of false alarms and found the date when this issue began. Then I went and found the receipt so I can see when I purchased the google WiFi mesh system and when it was delivered. I couldnt believe it but the false alarms started the same night when the system was delivered and installed. I went to the basement and saw I had placed one of the access points about 5 feet below and slightly in front of the motion detector. I decided to move it another 5 feet away and check the logs for the next few days. Just like that the issue was gone. Just to be sure I placed the access point back to its original spot and the issue returned again consistently for 48 hours. I just want to state I am not saying this issue is specific to the google WiFi system. This could have possibly happened with a regular WiFi router or other WiFi mesh/access point products. I just wanted to post this in case anyone is having similar issues with their alarm system and have nearby WiFi equipment.

Ive tried several extenders without success so I decided to move up to a whole house mesh Wifi. After looking at several options online, I decided to go with Google Wifi. So glad we did. Once you download the Google WiFi app you simply follow the directions. We hooked the first unit direct into our router with provided CAT 6 cable and set the unit and network up. Installed the next unit, and the next unit after that. We now have WiFi throughout our house, front porch and backyard gazebo. It doesnt get any easier. This is our first week of use so if anything changes, I will stop by and change my review.

I don’t normally brag about network equipment, but this is some incredibly cool stuff. You shouldn’t have to think about your WiFi network, it should just work - and this is the first setup I’ve ever purchased that makes this possible. Thanks, Google!

Its easy to setup but not as stable as I expected. Wifi connection can stall sometimes which I didnt have a issue with before. This is all while the settings tell me mesh is working correctly.

very pleased with the ease of installation and the improved performance from previous wifi router / extender combo which sucked. They also look great. Google has done a great job. Installation and mobile app is great. They have big bucks so can invest in R&D

Very impressed with the speed. The extenders work very well and they can connect with Ethernet too. I like how the application works and I like how the application can conduct performance tests so you can see if you have any issues. Absolutely no disappointment

They just didnt work well in my home. I went with 2 orbis and they are doing a great job.

Was a breeze to set up. The only negative was having to connect your Google account (or create one) to set the network set up. Floored by the difference in speeds Im getting now. Previously had two Airport Extremes networked in a two story house. A month ago I was getting 10mbps downloads with the Airports. Today Im getting 120mbps to well over 200mbps, depending what what and how many devices are using the network. Pull the trigger and U-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D-D. :)

Finally a permenant fix for all the crappy coverage in the edges of the house. Simple plug and play solution, lifted my internet speed by 30% all over the house. The App is slick to use and gives you all the controls you would typically need. My only frustration is why did it take this long to come up with a wifi solution for a home that works!!!
