About Google Wifi - Mesh Wifi System
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
84% praised the intuitive app, but 16% struggled
The app is a treasure trove of insights. I can monitor the devices on the network, check their data usage, and even control their access.
The user interface is only available through the app, there is no way to manage it on a computer.
To set up and manage the app, you need an Android or Apple device as there is no web interface available.
Many products on the market today rely solely on an Android or IOS app for interfacing, configuring, and troubleshooting the device.

86% praised the coverage area, but 14% found dead spots
The Google mesh system exceeded my expectations both inside and outside of the house, providing solid WiFi coverage on the patios and well beyond for my wireless camera. The signal strength improved from a best case of 55% to more than 90%, giving solid video connections without drops in service. I also tested the coverage out to 135 feet from the exterior walls of my house, which opens up many options for better camera placement that I never had.
After moving the units around, I got coverage throughout my 2400 sq ft house. It took exact positioning and putting one unit up near the ceiling.
The signal starts to drop off before the lawn ends and is weak at the street. The house's distance from the street affects the coverage area of our whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system.
The coverage area of 4500 sq ft is not true.
90% liked the customizable settings, yet 10% found them limited
The Google Home app isn't too bad, but it requires digging into settings to manually change the IP subnet.
I have noticed that the router does not have customizable interfaces and cannot be managed through a web browser. Instead, the app must be used to manage attributes like port forwarding and traffic management. I would prefer the option to manage the router through a desktop.
Advanced settings are almost non-existent.
The user interface is bare and I cannot customize anything for my signal like adding a guest band, and a 2ghz or 5ghz band.

89% found it easy to set up
Setting up the router is simple and easy.
Setting up this WiFi mesh network is very easy and can be done in under 10 minutes.
77% liked the ability to support many devices
I have 43 devices connected to the wifi product and it is handling it easily.
I have over 50 wifi devices in my 3-story, 800 sq ft home.
83% appreciated the performance, but 17% experienced issues
The Google Wifi three pack performs better than my previous onHubs. The wifi speeds are faster, but I haven't noticed any difference in my day-to-day devices. It just works like the onHubs they replaced.
The device supports dual-band Wi-Fi with AC1200 standards, ensuring a speedy and reliable connection for all devices.
My router's speed is 590+ while the final point sits around 390.
Initially, the performance was mediocre with speeds of 100mbps throughout the house. However, with each firmware update, the speed kept dropping.
79% were impressed with the security features, although 21% weren't
I can disconnect the internet from the entire house or set off times to shut off the internet with the device's good security features. It also ensures a secure internet connection.
I was unable to access certain areas with my security cameras due to network limitations. However, after meshing the network, it is now easier to manage my security system.
Our system has an extra layer of security even if hackers get into our local network.
I desire a whitelist feature to be integrated into the software for this router, which would allow me to approve devices before they can connect to the network.
