Google wifi slow speeds

[Mbooks]

Hello, 

internet coming in is about 270 mbps but when connected to google wifi I am getting about 40 mbps and even worse the further I get from main pod.

Hey folks,

@Mbooks, thanks for posting — let's see what's going on.

A few questions: are you using a modem/router combo from your Internet Service Provider (ISP)? How many devices are dropping from the network? Also, do you have any paused devices?

Give these steps a try:

• If you're using a modem/router combo, set that to bridge mode to avoid double NAT issues.
• 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.
• Remove any special characters in your network name and password.
• Turn off IPv6.
• 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.
• Unplug the power from your Google Wifi devices for 2 minutes.
• If the issue persists, try factory resetting your network. Take note that this will delete all network data.
   

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for lending a hand, @RachelGomez123 and @Dianahemes.

Best,
Abi

Thank you all!  I have done everything you mentioned and I am currently getting faster speeds through the wifi. I will do some random speed tests throughout the day to see if the speed continues and let you know.
