About Google Nest WiFi Pro - Wi-Fi 6E - Reliable Home Wi-Fi System
Overall Feedback:
66% positive
65% praised the intuitive app, but 35% struggled
My experience with the Nest WiFi Pro app has been significantly better than the Linksys app, offering a more intuitive and reliable user experience.
I enjoyed using the app for performing various tasks such as setting up parent controls, running speed tests, testing the network, and seeing active devices.
I am unable to connect any devices with WPS and cannot find QOS settings.
There isn't much that can be done with the app and interface of our whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-systems.
75% praised the coverage area, but 25% found dead spots
The wifi router has more than enough coverage for my 1700 square foot home and I even get decent reception in my backyard.
At home, I work in my office while others stream movies and YouTube videos on their own devices with great stability throughout the whole house.
The coverage for my large, three-story house was adequate but not great.
The mesh system provides ample coverage, but the speeds are no better than before with just the Xfinity gateway/router.
63% liked the customizable settings, yet 37% found them limited
The Nest WiFi Pro app is commendable and significantly better than the Linksys app. It offers a more intuitive and reliable user experience, making it easier to manage the network. Compared to the Linksys app, it is frustratingly unresponsive and limited in functionality.
There is a lag in the app when changing settings, requiring me to wait for the device to refresh and the app to update.
I am unable to connect any devices with WPS and cannot find any QOS settings.
I did not face any issues with my previous router and will be returning and finding a better product.

72% found it easy to set up, while 28% had trouble
I set up the access point and 2 mesh in just 15 minutes.
Setting up the device is easy, but configuring it afterwards can be difficult.
Setting up the mesh system was easy, which is the only positive aspect.
Replacing the old system was difficult as there were no instructions provided.

62% liked the ability to support many devices, but 38% didn't
I have 4 PC's, 2 TV's, 2 iPhones, a printer, and 3 cameras all connected and it holds up just fine.
Streaming 4K movies on multiple devices at once is now smooth and downloading large files takes minutes instead of hours.
I had to return all the devices because I could not replace just one of the three devices.
I faced an issue with my iOS devices dropping connection even though the network was seen in settings.
69% appreciated the performance, but 31% experienced issues
The performance of our whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system has significantly dipped and our internet speed is now capped at 250-350mps.
I added a 4th node to my 3000 sq ft house and still have poor mesh, whereas my prior nest was great with just 3 nodes.
I have noticed that the Nest WiFi Pro has inconsistent Wi-Fi speeds, even on stationary devices, which is a notable drawback compared to the reliable performance of the EERO Pro 6E.
When I connected directly to the modem, I got amazing speeds. However, after installing the mesh network, even my wired connection to the main router node gave me very bad performance.

66% were impressed with the security features, although 34% weren't
I compared the Nest WiFi Pro app with the EERO Pro 6E and found that the Nest app falls slightly behind in overall functionality and user experience.
I am dissatisfied with the limited firewall controls.
