Super Disappointed with an expensive wifi router

Sandeep1Rana

I live in India and I ordered(from the US) the 2 + 1 router initially. The recommended combination on the website for a 3300 sq. ft. house. The Test Mesh option always fails with the error - "Error Occurred during Mesh Test" Please try again. and trying again loops me in the same error. 

I bought 3 more to increase the coverage hoping things would resolve. But still the same. If you run the Speed Test on the Home app it says that my download and upload speed is > 300Mbps however the Google Meet keeps telling me that the connection is poor and that my connection delay is > 1000ms and ideally it should be < 300ms. 

Both the Google products are inconsistent in telling me how my connectivity is?

Can someone really help here?

to resolve this make sure that your nest router is placed in the middle of the house and points are all around it. If router is in one corner then you will have connectivity issues. Also as homes are of concrete in india, place points nearby router to have maximum coverage and if you need to have connectivity between floors maybe try establishing a connection through open area like staircase 

@Beast I have tried some configurations like you mentioned. However it still always shows "Weak" signal and gives an erroneous download and upload speed. Furthermore it also goes "Not connected several times"

Hi folks,

 

@Beast, thanks for the help!

 

@Sandeep1Rana, how's it going with your Google Wifi? Still need our help?

 

Thanks,

Edward

@EdwardT still the same. That resolution was tried by me. It seems like an app upgrade is needed.

Hey I have factory reset all points again. The app seems to be working now. However the routers keep going offline even though it hasnt been moved

Hi, Sandeep1Rana.

I'm happy to hear the app is working correctly, but the disconnects must be frustrating. When things go offline, does it happen across the entire network, or are you seeing individual points go offline? Do you see the status lights on your WiFi points or router change color? If so, what color are you seeing?

Thanks,

Hey again, Sandeep1Rana.

I'm just following up again to see if you saw that last reply of mine and to see if you were able to let me know what you were seeing there.

Thanks,

Hey Jeff

The same problem as before. Post reset when all the devices show Great/Good connection, a few days later they go offline.
