Finally Did It. I drilled vent holes in my Google Wifi Pro 6e's.

So after almost 6 months of dealing with having to restart the network when it would drop to 10Mbs, when it should be getting 400Mbs. I opened one up and looked at where I could drill vent holes, made a masking tape template and then drilled all 6 of my units. The outcome.... 2 weeks without having

Advantages of using the IOT network vs assigning devices to 2.4ghz?

I have seen no degrade in performance on my Deco compared to my previous Nest Wifi Pro setup. As they're wifi signals coming from the same device, they'll be better at controlling the radio spectrum to avoid interference. The interference happens when another network is on the same frequency / chann

Slow Wi-Fi on new 500/50 plan, but wired speed is fine. Is my modem the bottleneck?

The router you have is 802.11ac, or WiFi 5. What you're seeing is pretty typical for a router like yours, given its internal antenna and the walls in between. The 1300 Mbps number is an overall theoretical, not a per-device speed, so your PC is completing on that pipe with all other WiFi devices in

do nest wifi pro nodes only connect to the nest wifi pro router or can they can connect to each other wirelessly?

It's more complicated than that, but there are a few things to consider. First, Nest WiFi Pro runs the (hidden) mesh interconnect on the 6GHz band, which is (still) subject to lower transmit power constraints than 5GHz is. It sounds like that may be the issue here. Second, yes -- in theory, they wil

Nest WiFi (2nd Gen) PPPoE Issue

Glad it's up and running. I know you're on 2nd gen but for anyone using the Nest Wifi Pro, Just ignore the speedtest results from the Nest Wifi Pro as they are broken on PPPoE connections as will always massively under report their speeds and in my case, it led to network slow downs after a few days

Nest WiFi (2nd Gen) PPPoE Issue

I had the Nest Wifi Pro but my backline speeds sucked. I upgraded to Amazon Eeros and have had zero problems.

What Generation is Your Wi-Fi?

I've been using the Google Nest Wifi Pro for years and after recently changing from an ISP that uses DHCP, to an ISP that uses PPPoE authentication, I was very annoyed to find Google still hadn't fixed a bug whereby the Nest Pro would always underread the speed tests and automatically adjust the QoS

Townhouse Network Setup

You shouldn’t be getting different answers depending on whom you ask, because given what you describe, using the existing Ethernet to improve your WiFi around the house is an absolute no-brainer, and if the installing technician saw that you had Ethernet he should have said so. The good news is that

Nest Wifi Pro - nothing but problems. Google Wifi was fine for years.

Try this suggestion: In the Home App, if you go into Wifi \ Settings \ Preferred activities, is Video conferencing checked? If so, uncheck it and restart the network. I've found this one setting to really lower network speeds. I found it in this post and it did help. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleW
