    Google Nest WiFi Router 2 Pack (2nd Generation) – 4x4 AC2200 Mesh Wi-Fi Routers with 4400 Sq Ft Coverage

    • I have 26 devices hooked up to my network and no more buffering issues
    • Oddly enough, with the several dozen wireless/smart devices in our household, I do not have a Google assistant, so I can’t speak to compatibility.
    • I was having issues with wi-fi downstairs since I stream everything (no cable) and have a bunch of smart devices (Nest, Alarm, Ring, wi-fi smoke detectors); my signal was a bit slow
    • The vast majority of routers that I owned were horrible: random disconnects, some devices not connecting, slow, 5ghz band not working
    • We also have quite a few devices connect to our WiFi (usually around 20) and we don't have any issues devices disconnecting from WiFi, unlike our old router
    • Once the message Nest Wifi is up to date, wireless devices are ready to connect to it
    • I love the fact that they include a usage tracker which can display your overall network usage as well as a device by device breakdown
    • Device works fine with the Ethernet backhaul.
    • Why can't I see something like "which device used up the most bandwidth during the last 24 hours" without staring at my phone for 24 hours
    • This causes issues which 2.4G devices which are close to the router (at least for the initial setup).4
    • Use the App under General and Reset and remove the devices, so it is removed from the App and the devices are cleared.
    • and I have typically 17-20 various devices and smart home devices connected at any one time
    • I was having issues with wi-fi downstairs since I stream everything (no cable) and have a bunch of smart devices (Nest, Alarm, Ring, wi-fi smoke detectors); my signal was a bit slow
    • I learned that the newer devices must be the bridge in order for them to all worked together
    • The devices are quite attractive
    • I have a ton of wifi/ smart home devices and am constantly adding
    • Most devices are fine with the mixed frequency but a few can get confused (and for those it’s generally better to have a dedicated 2.4 GHz).There are two identical routers included in this package and those turn into mesh nodes when on the same network
    • This allowed me to directly connect certain devices, like gaming consoles, so the internet connection is strong and constant
    • Once downloading the Google Home app and powering up the router, the app searches for available devices to set up and the rest is fairly easy
    • Why can't I throttle a specific device, or limit the overall upstream bandwidth used
    • Why can't I throttle a specific device, or limit the overall upstream bandwidth used
    • Google suggests, and I am not joking here - you take your smart device and walk down the street to try and force it on to the 2.4GHz band.
    • Installation was perhaps the simplest setup for any smart device I have encountered
    • I have a lot of smart home devices which need 2.4ghz only.
    • but I found this to be the easiest tech device I've ever set up (maybe 10 minutes total for both routers).
    • rule!The Google Home app is pretty intuitive and lets you control other smart devices from the same interface such as lights, switches, etc
    • Im a huge samsung fan but this was a gift and seamlessly integrated into my samsung network of smart devices
    • Namely, the devices kept connection issues where the router became unavailable or simply slowed down to a trickle
    • Before buying this product, I was really concerned about the number of buyers having issues setting up a mesh network (two devices)
    • Our Smart Home devices prefer the Nest WiFi signal vs the Google WiFi points when setup together
