About Google Wifi - AC1200 - Mesh WiFi System - Wifi Router
Overall Feedback:
69% positive
74% praised the intuitive app, but 26% struggled
The Google Home App has a basic but effective interface and covers all the devices in my smart home. It also has features like testing mesh strength, download speed, and current download usage. There are plenty of settings to tweak if I am a tweaker.
The Google Home app is amazing and does everything except naming the Wi-Fi. Its user interface is also more user-friendly than any other out there.
Some wifi points are not getting on the network and refuse to show up in the app. I have no ability to fix it because the interface is cheap and provides only one unreliable way of working with these things.
The UI is oversimplified and all manual adjustments have to be made through the Google Home app.

77% praised the coverage area
The coverage of this router is decent for being small, but I recommend upgrading to a dual or triple setup if you have a large house.
After setting up the Google Mesh system, my Smart TVs stopped having issues and the wifi signal became stronger with more coverage.
73% liked the customizable settings, yet 27% found them limited
I faced difficulty customizing the settings of my whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-systems as I didn't know what type of device I had and when I guessed wrong, nothing worked.
Google informed me that the sticker at the bottom is not for this device.
80% found it easy to set up, while 20% had trouble
I like how easy it is to set up wifi router and points around the house and manage via app.
The setup process is not user-friendly.
67% liked the ability to support many devices, but 33% didn't
I purchased a Google WiFi to expand my mesh network.
I contacted support and was told that the wireless connection points cannot be more than 15 feet from each other. I questioned how 3 points at 15 feet away can cover 1200 sq feet.
I called the support and they suggested using a 50 foot ethernet cable to make it work.
I have different types of devices but I don't know what they are called. When the app asks me what kind of device I want to activate, I have to guess.
76% appreciated the performance, but 24% experienced issues
After plugging in the mesh system and installing it using the Google Home app, I experienced a 50%+/- increase in speed.
I spent 2 hours with tech support to resolve issues with the network.
I regret not returning the Orbi systems in my other properties and buying the Google WiFi, which is four times more expensive but only half the performance.
69% were impressed with the security features
The system automatically updates itself and keeps the current settings and security.
