I use some static IP addresses and also figured that out.

When requesting the reservation, you can decide what the static ip address will be, but if you change it, you will need to get back on the device somehow and reset the nic back to that static ip address.

I changed the DHCP range to not overlap with any of my static IP addresses.

I have a static IP WAN address.

GWF lets mew name my devices with names I can remember and doesn't even LET me worry about such things as MAC addresses - which it manages for me.3

each access point only has one LAN port (also no USB connectivity, which admittedly is rare)- only manageable via an app (and a device that can run it)- still lacks some advanced customization options, though future updates might address thisIN DETAILBecause a couple devices on our home LAN have static IP addresses (including an Amahi home server), I wanted to minimize frustrations by simply changing the default IP address of the Google Wifi LAN (192.168.86.xx) to my previous setup (192.168.10.xx)

I then realized that the default DHCP range that this device uses, which is on the same settings page as the LAN address, included a subrange where some off my static IP addresses were assigned.

The REAL problems occur if you have devices internally on your LAN that have static ip addresses.

I have several devices on my home network with static IP addresses.

Ugh!The process to get this to work was to switch the device to dynamic addressing, let it join the network, then from Google Wifi request an ip address reservation for that device.

I repeatedly received the dreaded “self induced IP address and will not connect to the internet” message and wasted hours speaking to various tech reps at Apple and my ISP.

I decided to purchase three Google units and I now get a strong signal in every corner of the house, as well as in the backyard.

It MUST plug directly into your modem in order for it to work as it has been designed

Extremely disappointed as I thought buying something from Google would mean a higher level of services.

My internet experience is now as good as if I was connected to the modem directly using an Ethernet cable

It works as it should.

The controller App [Google WiFi] is very intuitive and helps you to set up a guest network as well as to manage the devices on your network

I suspect the speed issue is due to the mesh using WiFi for it's backhaul channel as well as to service clients.

The 'tech support' is more of a FAQ section, and it kept referring me back to the same answer over and over...if google's goal is to make their customers frustrated, they've succeeded.. as much as i'd want to recommend this product, in good conscience, I can't, mainly due to the crappy customer service, which was a joke..

I contacted google support and after months of troubleshooting they refuse to refund as it is past the 30 day return now, but was not when I initially reported the problem to Google

I had tried a D-Link range extender which did not work for my house

#2I use D-Link Home smart outlets, they offer a scheduling function, example turn lights on at 5 PM and off at 11 PM

my old unreliable D-link gets 150Mbps from the primary and about 80Mbps via MOKA based AP.3
