I bought 3 of these routers on eBay for less than $100 each. I didn’t want the access points since I don’t use the google assistant. I have these set up with a wired back haul and my internet is 940 down. My wifi strength is 433 in each room that has a unit. It’s around 300 down in rooms without the routers. I can’t bring myself to spend a few hundred on a new setup and get a substantial increase in speed. Plus I can grow my smart home with over 300 devices.

Yes. All models up to the last rendition of the Google Nest Wifi before the Nest Wifi Pro are ALL compatible with eachother. However... Nest Wifi Pros are ONLY compatible with other Nest Wifi Pro roughters and points. So if you already have a mesh Nest Wifi or older setup, and are happy with it but just need to expand range, want the speaker or something else like that, buy the one featured here and avoid the Pro. The Pro will only give you Wifi 6 which is really only needed for stuff like playing VR on an Oculus Quest 2 or Pico 4 via wireless desktop. For 99% of all users, just buy this featured product and save yourself the couple hundred bucks.

GOOGLE home app is still buggy, too few network settings, no WiFi 6, and IP V6 is poorly implemented (own admission by Google support) and many ISP TV set top boxes don't work once connected to these nest WiFi units. On the plus side, they look good and the mesh data communications also work over LAN/RJ45 connection.

I have purchased a Google Nest Router and have 2 additional Google Mesh (older points). In the UK it's far cheaoer to buy another Router than a Point so was wondering if I can purchase a couple more routers and use them as additional points to improve speed around my home or would you say it's not worth upgrading the older points?
@BeaPlaysRoblox
Жыл бұрын
For our use in our home, it's not worth it. I have the same setup as you, also in the UK. Mainly because the Google WiFi points are already capped at 1.2gbps and that is more than fast enough for most people. The only reason it would be worthy to upgrade, is if you needed the added benefits of the upgraded mesh system (if yours is struggling), and the smart home speaker system. From my knowledge, at least, I'd stay as you are for now!

The WiFi Router models (no speaker built-in) can be connected to devices over Ethernet. One such device can be a router which brings internet into the home. From there, the internet access can be shared over WiFi through the Ethernet connection. From there, you can expand the network with other routers or points by creating a mesh system. This can be done over Ethernet (Ethernet backhaul) or WiFi (just plug it into the wall and use the Google Home app to establish the mesh). I hope this helps clarify a bit. The original Google WiFi is more pick like and it's 1200 vs the 2200 of the newer router model. The points are somewhere inbetween as I recall

@@mervyn2316 I honestly don’t know. Those Ethernet ports gave me additional flexibility. Here’s an example: I have a photovoltaic system that communicates with the Enphase server via my Enphase device. This Enphase device connects to my home internet either by a device called a bridge, or can be hardwired into my home internet via an Ethernet cable. The bridge that was installed by my photovoltaic installer failed after 15 yrs. Rather than buy another bridge, I installed a Google WiFi point in my garage and ran an Ethernet patch cable from this WiFi point to the Enphase device that was mounted on my garage exterior wall. This WiFi point gave me very good WiFi coverage in my garage as well as an internet connection for my Enphase device.
