NEST WiFI Pro Speed

Joetdaniels
Community Member

I have Netgear CM2000 Cable Modem connected direct to Xfiniity with 3 unit Nest WIFI Pro in the home (1 on each floor).  One unit direct connect to cable modem on 3rd floor with a unit on each floor below. Using google home when I conduct a mesh test it appears to have >800 Mbps down and ~20 Mbps up.  When I run a speed test from a device (IOS Laptop, Desktop, or Apple 13 Phone) I get 20 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up??  I am not a network guy, but have better than average computer skills.  

Have I missed something in the setup??

 

Thanks in advance

Hey Joetdaniels,

 

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.


Best,
Abi

It appears to have corrected itself through an unscheduled system power reset/reboot when we lost power briefly during a recent storm. Thanks for your help.
