Solved the constant drop-outs after years of frustration

100% I never had an issue with my original Google Wi-Fi or Nest Pro when using a wired backhaul.

Google wifi issues

Had Google WiFi before, spent two days troubleshooting everything under the sun for a similar issue. Pulled the power on the entire mesh and plugged it back in, speed fixed. If you haven't tried that already then do it. Their WiFi equipment is shit and in my experience might inexplicably just glitch

Need some wifi help now that i upgraded to fiber

That thing you're calling a "splitter" is a TP-Link brand 8 port switch. It looks to be a model TL-SG108 which is an unmanaged gigabit switch, which does not support PoE (Power over Ethernet). Assuming Port #1 is connected to your Router, then other devices (not requiring PoE) could be connected to

Yeah I solved the constant dropouts with Google WiFi/nest WiFi by switching to Ubiquiti

Google Nest Wifi alternatives

I'm pretty sure Google is deliberately enshittifying their old products to force you to upgrade. I had a 2 node nest wifi plus 1 node from the 1st gen google wifi and it worked great for many years. Then in the past 2 years the 2nd nest point (the one with the speaker) started really flaking out on

Google Nest Wifi alternatives

I had purchased mine and gave it 6-months and it was the worst decision/purchase, tech wise, I have made. Luckily, I had a great customer service rep at a box store, and she provided me store credit, and I purchased a different system and have had zero issues since. Almost every post I’ve seen about

Google Nest Wifi alternatives

I'm finally giving up and getting rid of my Google nest wifi. Had it for 4 years. In the last 5 months one, if not both, access points have been going offline/turning off and needing resets. It got to the point I'd reset it every couple hours then have to reboot the entire system. I even got the poi

help!

For an opposing POV, I have 2 of the older Google Wi-Fi (GJ2CQ) and 2 of the slightly newer Nest Wi-Fi (H2D) and they've been working nearly flawlessly for years. The only times I've had issues with them is when the ISP goes out. In which case I simply need to wait for the ISP to come back up and th

Smart home from scratch, where do I even start?

I use Switchbot roller shades, Switchbot sensors (for temp and humidity), as well as their blind tilts and button pushers. Kasa smart switches, Hue lights, and a Nest Learning Thermostat with an Aprilaire whole house humidifier slaved to it for wintertime. Love them all. I automate each brand via it

Google nest wifi - have recent updates (April 26) improved it??

That might explain my Nest Wifi router and AP doing better about staying in Wired mode. I have them connected via a MOCA backhaul, but they would constantly change from Wired to Wireless with no obvious reason. Possibly a temporary interruption in my service from my ISP or a temporary blip in the po
