I recently purchased a three pack of the Google Neat Pro 6E and deployed them throughout the house. I am having all sorts of slow downs and seemingly very poor performance issues.
I am significantly disappointed that there is no way to change the 5GHz channel. Further disappointing is that Google, who I’ve thought of as a pretty standards based organization, has placed all three of these Nest Pro devices on the same channel. 149.
For background, I manage the wireless infrastructure at a medium sized university, and basic WiFi design tells us that we should be choosing different 5GHz channels for a system such as the Nest Mesh. Especially since the mesh communications is on the 6GHz channels. So, I can’t change the channel, and these devices are causing their own interference. This is a very poor design, and doesn’t in any way follow the standards of WiFi deployment.
How do I ensure that all three units are on different 5GHz channels, and not all on 149? I have not ever had an issue on 5GHz until this configuration. How can it be corrected?
