I got 30 foot Ethernet cables made up that I have to run down the stairs to connect to the modem. If I buy these do I just connect one to the main modem and the others to the likes of Ethernet cable in playstation, Xbox etc? Or do I have to have them split ? Forgive me Im just not sure about any of this , thank you

I recently installed four Google wifi routers in my 2800 sq ft home. The main router is in the basement before my network switch. I put access points on my first and second floor that are hardwired to the switch. I put another one elsewhere on my first floor wirelessly connected. The mesh test shows my hardwired access points have >525Mbps connection speed with the main router. The wireless access point has about a 100Mbps connection speed with the main router. The wifi service in the house has been very stable since I set this up. It replaced a much flakier prior setup with a mac airport extreme as my second floor access point and a netgear wireless access point on my first. I got this 4 google wifi router kit from Costco for around $200.

Lando27Tech About a week into the new Google mesh it seems nearly glitch free. I give it a thumbs up. The setup was not straight forward. I didn’t like the position of the second unit so I unplugged it while it was installing. That blew the mind of the install app. I muddled my way through adding the last 3 satellites individually (fairly painful, including removing the one satellite I had successfully installed). Now that it has been up for over a week it mostly just works. I have not reset a single unit yet. The only possible hiccup may be moving a connected device around the house. I have terrible Internet with Frontier so I can’t target my mesh system, but I do get momentary ‘no service’ messages as I walk across the house with my iPad connected to the Internet. So far this is the only solution that has worked for me and I’m in for $270 plus tax in 4500 sq ft plus the extension into the yard.

On the speed test on the middle floor, I think a couple of things might have been causing it. Did you make sure your phone was connecting to the closest wifi puck? Wonder if it might have been attaching to one on another floor. I know the Eero app will show you which satellite a device is attached to, does Google do the same? Also, I wonder if you might have been attached to the 2.4 GHz band instead of 5 GHz - that would explain the slower speed also. Those lower numbers you got on the middle test are typical of what I get with a 2.4 GHz connection.

Good video! Thanks. Very curious why the middle floor had worse performance than the top floor! I just helped my son with some issues that he discovered after installing Google Wifi. He has had a NAS plugged into his FIOS cable modem/router, and he added a Google Wifi mesh network. Since the Google Wifi has its own DHCP server, apparently, the devices on the Google Wifi network cannot see the NAS, whose IP address is assigned by the DHCP server in the FIOS box. We solved that problem by plugging the NAS ethernet into the primary Google Wifi point (there's one (1) LAN ethernet connector). Seems there should have been a way for Google Wifi to use the DHCP server in the FIOS cable modem/router, but this solution worked. So there's a gotcha with Google Wifi but with a solution. If we needed more than one ethernet device, we could connect a switch to the Google Wifi primary point and connect the NAS and other ethernet devices into the switch.

You're doing 3 NATs leaving the Netgear router. I would remove the Netgear and connect the google wifi direct to your provider router/modem. There's no point in having the Netgear.

So, I rent my internet equipment from my service provider (spectrum). My router and modem constantly go out and I have to reboot. I also stay in a 3 story townhome. Do I need need to buy my own modem and router and give theirs back, as well as buy this system to have better internet performance? So, I'd be being a lot of new equipment? 😔 Thanks for the review.

Nice review! Thinking of making the change as well...similar setup...about 5000 sq ft of finished space on 3 levels as well...was curious as do you think you have sufficient coverage with one “point” per level? Do you believe you would slow down performance? Website says it will support up to 5 points but not sure it’s needed....thanks!

Do you still get a lower speed on the 2nd floor? My theory is may be because it is bridged in between the two units (basement and top fl) so it slow because it has to communicate between units. BTW is this a dual bands? I know Linksys has the velop that comes with dual and triband. The triband has 1 - 2G and 2 - 5Gs. The 2nd 5G for the units to talk to each others and not using regular band and lower the speed.

I have been using this system with 3 pods for many months without problems. However, I tried adding a fourth pod recently to extend the range further into the garden and the system simply refused to make a connection with the new pod, even if placed it right next to the main one that is wired into the modem. In the end I sent it back to Amazon as no-one could help me resolve the problem. It seems that I am far from the only person who has had this problem. The only thing I didn't try was to reset the whole system but was worried it might throw a complete spanner in the works. I would like to try again but without a solution I fear I am stuck with the 3 pods I already have. If anyone knows of a solution please let me know.
