Upgrading from Google Wifi, Nest Wifi to Nest Wifi Pro
By Waldemar G. on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024
The only reason why I am upgrading is because my IPS gave me deal for 1 GBs. I had 200 MBs and that was more than enough for me. I had Google Wifi (gen1) for about 5 years. No problems except I had to buy extra pod to strengthen the signal (i live in condo and i have brick walls). So the signal from my balcony room (storage with concrete walls) was poor to my office. I bought nest wifi and everything was working good (connection was great / good) between nest wifi (router gen2) to 2 google wifi (gen1). I notice that after I got 1 GBs from ISP my speed was still the same 100 MBs on wifi. When I disconnected gen 1s (routers) my speed next to router (testing on iphone 14pro) was 560 MBs. If I would probably just switch my old 2 google wifi (gen 1) to Nest Wifi (gen2) I would be just fine. But since I live in condo I was like let me try that new 6Ghz. So I bought Nest Wifi Pro 3pk. Signal between 3 of them is great. If I would just use 2 it would be “Good signal”. I live in 1500 sqft apt, but my main router is basically in concrete storage (maybe I will drill a whole and put that router inside apt and give update). Speed next to Nest Wifi pro (gen3) router seems to be the same as Nest Wifi (gen2) what I am trying to say is I wouldn’t upgrade if all my previous pods were Nest Wifi (gen2). I wouldn’t expect more than 600 MBs on this routers based on my research online. What I like about google is steady speed, and they are upgrading software for this Nest Wifi Pro (so in future it will get better) Wifi speeds: Shed 500-600 MBs download / 22 MBs upload wifi speed Workout Room about 300 MBs Office 150-300 MBs Overall I don’t play a lot of games. Tried for CS 2 and ping was good, no lags in game. Streaming videos for 6hrs no buffering problems. Overall: If are upgrading from Google Wifi yea thats upgrade. I would not suggest upgrading Nest Wifi (only if you experience network problems or want to see if wifi will be stronger but I don’t see this wifi hitting more than 600 Mbs). Who needs more than 1 GBs internet. Design: I don’t really care about it but looks like nice stone (gen3). If its goes about power connector I am not a fan of it. Gen 1 had better in my opinion because if you connect to multiple plug connector it easy. Missing: Nest WiFi pro use 1 GBs Ethernet/WAN speed (that wire entry) while competition use 2.5 GBs Ethernet/WAN speed. On the other hand who use Ethernet anymore? Gaming desktops and maybe playstation. But going forward I believe it will be all Wifi at some point. Signal: Seems to be better than Google WiFi (gen 1 and gen 2) Software: I had recently update on this which means google is working on this router. Maybe It will get better in future. Installation: Very easy on Google Home app. If you use the same wifi password and name, all your devices will connect automatically. However 3rd took me about 5 tries but finally was added. Price: Very Good compare to others. If you need 4pk see costco. Update from 14 January 2024: I found that moving modem and router from my storage/heating closet to open (without obstruction of concrete/brick walls) inside apartment made increased speed of 400-600 Mbps per second. The farther away pod goes 400+ Mbps. (On 1gb internet for comcast) I don’t see any issues with this system. I changed my 4 starts to 5 stars.

I upgraded to this nest system after my old devices crapped out. Everything worked fine for about two weeks but then we started to experience some pretty major connection issues. I figured it was a provider issue since these devices were brand new, and the old Google nest system I had worked great for several years. After a several week trial and error period, I replaced my modem, router, and had new cable lines installed as part of an upgrade to our network coverage by our service provider, we still were experiencing connectivity issues. I contacted Google and they confirmed at least one of the three devices was faulty. My return window with Amazon had expired by this point, so the only option Google offered me was to first return the faulty device, and then they would send me a replacement. I told them that if I disconnected one device, I lost internet throughout the entire downstairs area of my house because the remaining two devices were not strong enough to pick up the slack. Unfortunately Google was not willing to work with me on the issue. Their only offer was for me to go without internet for several weeks while I went through the return process. I’ve since upgraded to Amazon’s EERO system and have had zero issues ever since. It was a very expensive learning lesson. This is the first time I’ve ever criticized a Google but I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing this product. It’s completely unreliable and Google is severely lacking in the customer service department.
