Home wifi and compatibility

PrettyOne — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 05:16:14 GMT

We currently have a Google Nest Wi-Fi set up with a Google Nest Wi-Fi router, connected to two Google wifi points, a Google door camera, and Google photo frames. I would like wider wifi coverage around my house, shed and garage. I have tried moving the wifi points with only limited success.

Do I buy the new Google Nest Pro router and 2 Pro wifi points and switch over to that system? If I do, can I still use the older wifi points to extend coverage, and the old router as another wifi point?

Or do I buy several more of the older Google wifi points and continue using the old system?

I am not a tech guru, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, and HNY to you.

Hi @PrettyOne!

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I understand that you would like to extend the coverage of your WiFi, but no need to worry; help is here. Before continuing, I need to know a few details about your WiFi in order to provide you with a better resolution:

How many devices do you have?
Since when is this problem presenting?
How many devices actively use the internet at once?
Have you already talked with your ISP?
Recently there was a power outage in your area?
What is the speed of your WiFi router?

I'll be waiting for your response; any additional details you can provide will be helpful.

Best regards,
Jeremy.
