The editors liked
Incredibly easy to setup
Great wireless performance and coverage
Clean design
Google Wifi is easy to use and a breeze to set up. It has strong Wi-Fi coverage and fast speed. It costs a lot less than other mesh Wi-Fi systems
Simple setup
Excellent long-range performance
Simple & effective features
The editors didn't like
Doesn't double as a modem
Limited number of Ethernet ports
A little expensive
A Google account and a mobile device are required for setup and management. It doesn't have many advanced features or customizable network settings
Abstract: I'm reviewing Google Wifi because my apartment sucks. Well, specifically: my apartment's walls suck. And the placement of my router is far from ideal. You see, because I need a hardline to my desktop PC in my office, that means keeping the router in the o...
Extremely well priced, given its performance and feature set, Very easy to set up and install, Flexible configurations
Relatively weak smart-home support, No USB port for storage or printer support, Still waiting for MU-MIMO support
Google WiFi's mesh network should eliminate the dead spots in your home, but it only scratches the surface of smart-home control...

Easy to setup and manage, Familyfriendly features, Solid mesh network performance, Affordable for a mesh system
Performance doesn't equal highend routers at closer range, Expensive in broader networking terms, Lacks ethernet and USB ports, No Google Home functionality is a missed opportunity

When we look at the results of our first major comparative mesh-test, it is striking that mesh-technology certainly does not guarantee a higher throughput in all cases. It is also noteworthy that the test results clearly show that a client that is close t...
Easy setup and well-designed app, Attractive, Reliable, far-reaching Wi-Fi
Modest performance, Not the cheapest, Must sign in with Google account, Not brilliant as a standalone router
Google Wifi – Setup and interface What will appeal to many about the Google Wifi is its apparently easy setup and maintenance. Just download the Google Wifi app, follow the simple instructions and away you go. Some users may dislike that you're forced to...
Setup is fast and simple, Loads of network monitoring tools included, Coverage is excellent
Not quite as fast as other mesh WiFi systems, Single nodes lose speed over long ranges
Google WiFi is the best mesh Wi-Fi network you can buy. It's not quite as fast as some others, but the excellent management and setup experience elevates it to the top spot...
Setup takes only a few minutes, Elegant, minimalist design, Easy-to-use app, Less expensive than competitors
Only one open ethernet port, and no USB, Limited range compared to alternatives, Few advanced configuration options
Yes, if you want a simple and elegant design that is beat only by its user-centric app. At $129 for a single or $299 for a three-pack of points, it's a good value compared to the alternatives. Keep in mind, however, that it has just one Ethernet port, and...
