Best placement for google wifi?

Sal329 — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 00:51:07 GMT

I have the Google wifi gen 1. I have 1 router and 3 points. The house is two story, my router is in the master bedroom, 1 wifi point in an upstairs bedroom, 1 point in living room downstairs and last one is in the den downstairs. They all take turns with showing weak signal. What can I do for better placement?

Hello @Sal329

The best advice for placement is to have the primary unit as close to the center of your home as possible with secondaries one or two rooms away from there. They can then provide coverage to more distant clients. It's very important to get them placed such that they all have a "great" mesh connection quality. If any of them don't it can impact the whole network.
