Google Nest WiFi Pro

[PixFlixTaker]

INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED WITH GOOGLE NEST WIFI PRO!

I am fully committed to Google and Google Internet router/connectivity. I have moved up from Google WiFi to Google Nest WiFi to Google Nest WiFi Pro! The last was the worst decision I ever made.

After weeks and weeks of utter frustration, setting, resetting, etc, etc, the Internet speed was significantly slower. I subscribe to 800 MBPS service from  Xfinity and I was getting between 600 down to 96.

After weeks of frustration, I purchased Google Nest WiFi and I am thrilled again! Everything is up to where they were!

So, my purchase of Google WiFi Pro cost me money, wastage of time and frustration and headache!

Be careful before you purchase this device!

Hi PixFlixTaker,
 

That certainly isn’t the experience we want you to have, and we apologize for the delay. A few questions: are you using a modem/router combo from your Internet service provider (ISP)? What device are you using to set up your network (iOS or Android)? Do you have the Internet on your modem?
 

You can do a sequential reboot of your entire network and see if that helps, or please perform a 2-minute power cycle on your entire network to re-establish the connection on your connected devices. Here's how: 
 

1. Disconnect the power from the modem.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable and power cord from the parent point.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the child points.
4. Leave everything unplugged for 2 minutes.
5. Connect the power cord to the modem then to your router and points.

Also, you can give these steps a try:

1. If you're using a modem/router combo, set that to bridge mode to avoid double NAT issues.
2. Make sure that there is minimal to no interference (concrete, bulletproof glass, metal, mirror, etc.) and the points are no more than two rooms apart.
3. Remove any special characters in your network name and password.
4. Turn off IPv6:
   1. Open the Google Home app.
   2. Tap the Wi-Fi coin  and then Settings.
   3. Scroll down and tap Advanced networking.
   4. Scroll down to IPv6.
   5. Toggle the switch off Toggle button off.
5. Change your DNS server into 8.8.8.8 on the primary and 8.8.4.4 on the secondary server. Hit the save/ floppy disk icon on the upper right.
6. Unplug the power from your Google Wifi devices for 2 minutes.
7. If the issue persists, try factory resetting your network. Take note that this will delete all network data.

You may skip any step that you’ve done already.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Dan
