WiFi System

Early in my career I made sure I had ethernet ran to every room, had a PIX firewall in my basement, had a torrent server running, etc. Now? I just use Google Nest Wifi connected directly to the ONT and spread a few extra mesh units around the house. No need to make anything complex.

It’s very unclear what your problem is. The most important question: If you’re hardwired to your Ethernet jack (where the internet in the house comes in), is the internet reliable? If no, investigate different providers. Sonic or MonkeyBrains are probably the best in SF, if they’re available to you.

For those not interested in a wall of text. TL;DR:After years of unreliable performance with smart home devices—including disconnecting speaker groups, Nest cameras dropping, and general network instability—you replaced your Nighthawk + extender setup with Nest WiFi Pro, only for it to get even wors

I have it. Speeds are great. Seamless roaming does not work as well as the Google Nest WiFi 5 system it replaces however.

The 6E will be more than enough to 500mbit broadband internet. I had Nest WiFi for years and loved it, it integrated well with my Google Home. When AT&T offered 2.5Gbit fiber, I could no longer use the Google product as a main router as it was limited to 1Gbit passthrough. I ended up on much more ex

Get a mesh wifi system. Any will do. I use Google Nest simply because it ties in to my other Google devices and also functions as a speaker.

I have a TP/Link mesh system but they are now on the banned list. I'd recommend the Google Nest WiFi. You can get a three-pack for about $160. They have good instructions and support.

Ask Gemini. It’s Google AI that walked me through adding another Nest point. Better instructions than you get in the Home app. I’ve got seamless WiFi through my house and backyard now.

I know what you're saying, and you're not wrong. This was kind of a financial decision. I ended up using a gift card I had to buy some 2.5Gig network stuff (so essentially free) and built out an OPNSense router to go in front of the Google Wifi. Now the Wifi is back to stable because it's only conne
