    • It instantly boosts up my wifi speed and unleashes the internet speed that I paid for
    • Great product, eliminated dead spots in the house and the speed is incredible.
    • My whole house, and then some, has great internet speed and connection.
    • As with virtually everone else who has purchased Google Wifi, or any other mesh system, our wireless degraded this speed and we were only seeing between 15 and 25 Mbps through our Airport Express.
    • I was having slow speed issues before, now with one pod on each floor it all works great
    • Given some of the reviews, I was somewhat skeptical, but it works extremely well with all our devices and great speed even in our basement, the furthest point away from the modem

    • However, the ISP had great speeds to the house + with a really inexpensive price.
    • Great speeds, very reliable connection
    • but with this router the speed I received from wifi with speedtest is FREAKING 160MBS
    • Firstly the speed isn't great
    • I consistently get 10-20% packet loss on my network since switching and horrendously inconsistent speeds
    • I contacted my provider to ask if repeaters or range extenders would work and if there was a faster connection speed available
    • returnedUpdate 3/1/2019I set up the TP-Link and lost wired speeds, they dropped from the mid 900’s to the high 600’s and it’s WiFi performance wasn’t much better than the google WiFiI have added pics to show speed across my house, the higher the speed the closer I am to the main node, the lower speeds are on the 3rd node furthest from the main node( 60+ feet, walls and appliances in the way) and still getting 200+
    • We had good signal, good speed, and the Android app was the cherry on top
    • Setup is extremely easy, speed and range is great.
    • We now have amazingly fast internet speeds all over the house and even outside

    • Before we made the switch we battled drop coverage, slow speeds, and diminished range
    • Initially loved this as it was easily supporting 250 mbps download speeds
    • I have never seen speeds this good on WiFi, especially since I live in a heavily congested apartment complex
    • Works as advertised, excellent coverage no speed degradation
    • but the functionality is great, coverage is nice and speed is amazing.
    • Extremely impressed with this wifi system, wireless speeds are upwards of 100+ whereas the previous router I had in place we were only seeing 50, well worth the buy.

    • Again, easy install blazing speeds!
    • The speeds are good when t works.
    • Easy to install, speed improvement incredibly, super wide range, the app easy to use and allows you to have all your controlYou will not regret it !!!!!!
    • I way outdid my bandwidth and speed so that in 5-10 years when houses are completely outfitted with smart capabilities, I won't need to circle back and replace cat5 and pay crazy prices for modems
    • It says I get faster speed than I even pay for and COMCAST is great at giving me what I buy and no more.
    • When not dropping signal, the wifi would slow speeds to 0.5mbps
    • Every device now connects to 1 network, it automatically finds the best band/channel per device, and I get consistent speeds throughout my entire house.
    • Based on speeds alone, I'd say the Google gets 3 stars because I have heard of much better speeds from mesh dual radio systems but still, 43MBps at the far reaches of the mesh is plenty for streaming video
    • The app also allows me to prioritize which device gets priority to access to the internet so that it gets the fastest internet speed
    • Wifi extended on previous set up just not getting enough speed to the upstairs.
    • Dummy proof setup and vastly improved my speed with all of our devices
    • Solid devices so far with great range and speed.
    • Once I installed the Google Mesh pods our speed and connection was fast and solid.
    • Even though my internet service has enough speed to stream 4k (50mb), and my signal strength was 4 out of 5 bars (between the tv and router
    • This mesh network has made a tremendous difference in our home Wifi, stronger signal throughout the house; much faster speeds
    • If you’re buying this for a home with more than 3 Apple devices, you will have serious issues with disconnect and slow speeds
    • However, the app was designed to be too simple in my opinion I experienced extremely slow internet speeds because I was unable to control basic features such as the channel which my network was broadcasting on
    • Simple setup and supports my gigabit internet speed.
    • I also noticed a significant speed decrease from my Asus AC3200.
    • I consistently test at 223Mbps and all meshed nodes deliver seamless, high speed connectivity.
    • Our entire family is no longer frustrated with slow internet speed
    • We used if for several weeks now, and wifi is available all throughout the house, at very fast speeds.
    • It is 802.11ac capable (faster speed), however, nowhere does it give the admin the chance to set the wifi create to either 2.4 or 5Ghz
    • Isn’t excellent product?!The speed is awesome too!!!P
    • Easy setup, has been online for a month without having to reboot, speed is amazing

    • Especially like the utilities included with the free app that allow you to test your mesh units as well as upload and download internet speeds.
    • Speed is excellent, and while I do not particularly like our ISP, our connection is pretty fast and stable, so I don't anticipate problems
    • bumped my wifi speed quite a bit
    • Your speed also depends on you pc or mobile devices if they can support N and AC
    • Speed has been great
    • I love that my internet is a consistent speed now!!
    • I've had a singe router located in my basement, and have suffered from slow speeds in parts of my house that were the farthest from it
    • - I am getting twice the amount of work I could get done before now that the speeds are so much faster.
    • Improved internet speed x 2 as fast
    • Super easy to set up and fantastic speeds
    • Nearly all desktops have an Ethernet port so you can plug into a nearby Google WiFi device and gain that speed.
    • Well yes there was wifi, but the speeds were so slow that we couldn't even watch netflix.
    • I would steer anybody away from this product, and recommend a more traditional router that has been trusted to continually deliver fast internet speeds, as advertised.
    • The fastest speed is right next to the point
    • I have complete coverage and consistent speed in all parts of my house now
    • However, my speed on devices has really slowed down.
    • I also find that although my speed tests show that I am getting fast speeds it takes forever to load sites on my phone when connected via an endpoint
    • I had been experiencing a lot of slow speed and disconnects on my network until I paired these with a new gigabyte router
    • It constantly drops internet, when it works it gets good speed but what good is that if your internet goes out every 30 minutes for about 5 minutes at a time
    • Overall speeds degrade the further you are from the base unit, but without having actual wired networking options, there's no way around that
    • It will occasionally peak to the 150 level for a few brief moments before crashing back to the abysmal speeds.
    • I was having dropped connections, and the speed was very unreliable at the best of times
    • My primary goal was solid, reliable WiFi rather than blazing fast speeds and so far I've achieved that
    • With 3 locations, it covers my 3000 square foot house with a great signal and speed
    • I like being able to do all the controls from my phone as well as the great speed throughout the house and yard.
    • Super easy to set up and improved both the speed and coverage of my home wireless dramatically!
    • Improved my wifi speeds
    • these are painless to set up and improved my internet speed so much
    • Signal strength and data throughput are very good and as expected, I get 114mbps from the cable provider and that same speed is available at each node
    • Great speed!
    • Very happy with the speed enhancement and the ease of installation.
    • Once in a while, it will hit the proper speeds, by
    • One day it'll be great, the next day everyone is experiencing slow speeds and I have to reboot the mesh network
    • My only complaint is I've tried using hard-wired Gigabit Ethernet for the back-haul instead of WiFi and so far I've only gotten worse speeds even though the same jack and cable to my laptop gives MUCH higher speeds, so I know it's not a wiring issue.
    • Speed will suffer.
    • The hardware works perfectly; I've had no problems at all with it, and everything in my 4-story home runs with solid connections, full speed, and low latency
    • I have great speeds all around the home- no dead zones
    • It improved the speed and reliability all over the house
    • My speeds were horrendous
    • The speed I’m getting is fine, but I’d like to get closer to what I’m paying for.
    • It also delivers lightning fast speed
    • My whole house is now covered at fast speeds.
    • I have great speed from xfinity
    • So wifi routers does make a difference and investing in it is better than assuming ISP or your walls are culprit for not giving full speed
    • 150 Mbps throughput which exceeds the speed of the cable modem!No more buffering!!!
    • Isn’t excellent product?!The speed is awesome too!!!P
    • #2I use D-Link Home smart outlets, they offer a scheduling function, example turn lights on at 5 PM and off at 11 PM
    • I had tried a D-Link range extender which did not work for my house
    • my old unreliable D-link gets 150Mbps from the primary and about 80Mbps via MOKA based AP.3
