So this is pretty frustrating.
I bought a Google wifi 3 pack roughly 2 weeks ago, set it up and it worked great out of the box. I have one puck at the modem, one on the opposite side of the house (roughly 75 feet) and one upstairs in the office (Roughly 75 feet and up a floor). On a mesh test all signals were great, download speed to the router was roughly 450 Mbps and I was getting 250 - 350+ Mbps anywhere in the house on wireless. I only have 5 devices connected.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, everything slowed way way down. There's been no changes in locations of the pucks, no changes to the house, no new appliances or devices, etc. My download speed to the primary router is still 450 Mbps based on the google home speed test, but now using a speed test on my phone, I'm only getting 1 - 2 Mbps anywhere in the house, even five feet from the primary. The internet is basically unusable.
I tried all the advice, like a 5 minute shut down and restart, no luck. I then factory reset everything, and set everything up again, no luck. Still 1 -2Mbps anywhere.d
Now here's where it gets interesting: I factory reset all the pucks, including the primary at the modem but instead of setting up all the pucks, I just left it at the one puck at the modem. After restarting after setup, I am getting ~450 Mbps on wireless 5 feet from the router, 360Mbps at the opposite end of the house where the second puck *used* to be, and roughly 50 Mbps upstairs in the office where the third used to be.
I then set up the second puck at the old location and everything is right back to 1 -2Mbps anywhere in the house. It stays that way until I factory reset everything again, set up just the primary puck again, and then restart it. Then it's back to normal. It seems that adding any kind of mesh screws up the whole system. Same thing happens if I try just the third puck. (I checked to see if one puck was defective and screwing everything else up)
There's no changes to the environment from what it was two weeks ago when the mesh was working great and I had fast speeds all through the house. I haven't changed any network settings and it's all what it comes with out of the box.
Since I just spent a good amount of money on this system, I'd appreciate any help before I have to trash it and go try a different brand. Thanks in advance.
