This was an excellent video with information I needed to make a decision on which mesh wifi to purchase. Thank you for your knowledge. I bought the Nest Wifi and I think I will add the Google Wifi to complete my mesh system. I like the speakers that come with the Nest points.
Hello Omar 👋 It’s a great video But you seem not to depict a something: The ones Google Wifi with 4.0x1.7 barrel jack Is the Refreshed model that (AC1200 and WPA3 security) while the USB C is Old one (AC900). And that refreshed one Does support Nest Wifi point connected
The Google Wifi shown in this clip is AC-1304. Mine is AC-1200 which I think very similar. I have been using these AC-1200 for couple months. I notice that if I connect the satellites to the router with wires the result is very good. But if I connect it through wifi, the result is no good. I think the satellites do not boost or amplify the wifi strength.
Actually, AC-1304 is a model number and AC1200 is the WiFi specification. For the speed, the wired connection offer fast speed compared to Wifi connection.
Thank you! I think I’m going for the Google Wifi. Mostly because i don’t want bluetooth speakers 🔊. The only thing nest exceeds over the older model is further range but with a pack of three it evens it out. Im not worried about WPA2 unless we are living in the year 2030.
I purchased the newer version of the Google WiFi and get speeds up to 600 Mbps for internet connections and speeds internally around 900 Mbps! This is way faster than anyone will need for their daily activities. So unless you have a large house or need the built in Google assistant the Google WiFi Pucks at $99 is the way to go. Plus you can setup a Wifi Backhaul with the Google WiFi pucks but can't using the Nest WIfi. Great informative video!
Thank you for explaining the compatibility of Google Nest with Google wifi. I will be buying Google Wifi then upgrading to Nest and still keep the Google wifi as points. :)
Hi... i see the compo is nest router to wifi acces pointe cable to pc.. can i use this combo nest router to nest router cable to pc... What i nean, can nest router be used as acces point?
As far as for the Google Wifi mesh network, the device will pick the Wifi point next to it. Since the mesh wifi transmits the same SSID, there is no way to differentiate between the points on wifi network. However, you can check and see the point that connected to the device.
@@ncvman Probably they mentioned about the Nest Wifi. The Nest WiFi's(new one) router and points are diffrent. As I mentioned in the comment above, Google WiFi comes with ethernet port on all points and all are identical. I mentioned the same in the video too.
I am using Deco M9 but I have 2 problem with it first one doesn’t give the same speed as the main router it drops more than half the original speed second one it heats up pretty bad, please if have any suggestion for a better kind than TP-Link Deco please share it . NOTE: (I have thick brick walls) I have 450 speed with mesh system I get around 160 megabit
I felt like I was on crazy pills trying to get a straight to point answer about the backwards compatibility because I already have the google wifi and needed one more to fully cover my area. Thank you for clearing this up to me and Hopefully this will solve my issue.
Biggest nest downside is that the points don't have ethernet (only the router). If you have wired points in your home, Google wifi is far better and faster.
We recommend Nest Wifi if you have high speed internet and looking for Google Assistant Speaker everywhere. If not, better to go for cheaper Google WiFi.
@@Mashtips Ah ok, but what is for you fast speed, I mean, I have 300mb but no more, and I don't care a bout the assistants included,I already have the necessarys ones. Do you thinks that for a WiFi 5 contract of 300 mb is better the nest or the older one ??? Thanks
@@pablocarneado6433 Both Mesh comes with WiFi-5. We've tested these routers by keeping 75ft away, and we got the transfer speed for Google Wifi 200Mbps and Nest Wifi around 400Mbps. The same test with 5ft away, and we got around 450Mbps and 600Mbps top wireless transfer speed. It is not worth updating to Nest if you have Wifi points in less than 50ft range.
Do you know if there’s a limit to how many Nest wifi points you can have connected to the router? Also I didn’t see anything about the cost of additional points besides the Google WiFi and the Nest (2 pack) point bundle. Can additional Nest points be purchased? Thank you for the information :)

Glad it was helpful! Please make sure to use the Nest Wifi Router as the main router.

Seems like a good choice.
@@Mashtips sure was!! i lovee the google wifi design. Works great in my home.
Great video. Really well done with lots of information. Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback. As you said Google Wifi is the low budget version of Nest Wifi with enough performance for an average user.

Hi... i see the compo is nest router to wifi acces pointe cable to pc.. can i use this combo nest router to nest router cable to pc...
What i nean, can nest router be used as acces point?
We haven't test the exact configuration, but we have tested with the same with Google Wifi and works well.
I have 2 Google Wi-Fi Points, one is used as the router but I was wondering is there a way to designate which point a specific device goes to?
As far as for the Google Wifi mesh network, the device will pick the Wifi point next to it. Since the mesh wifi transmits the same SSID, there is no way to differentiate between the points on wifi network. However, you can check and see the point that connected to the device.
Can I use single Google Wifi as access point with different SSID?
Thank you.
Very good video that explains perfectly the differences.
Glad it was helpful!
So the additional nest WiFi do you have gigs ports in or out? That’s a deal breaker.
Yes, the Ethernet port is available with Google WiFi that can be used to wire your Desktop or other non WiFi devices.
@@Mashtips I was reading amazon reviews they said only main router has ethernet.
@@ncvman Probably they mentioned about the Nest Wifi. The Nest WiFi's(new one) router and points are diffrent. As I mentioned in the comment above, Google WiFi comes with ethernet port on all points and all are identical. I mentioned the same in the video too.
@@Mashtips Great thank you. Can I keep my existing router (turn off wifi) and just attach the google wifi to it?
Add the first one with a smartphone and the app will guide through the setup. Pretty simple and easy to follow.
Really appreciate the video full of useful information, like idea of nest router and Google WiFi points. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. I have nest router but need extra AP. Thanks for the video
You are welcome

I wish to help you, unfortunately, we haven't tested the models you have mentioned here.
Thank you for this comparison!
Thanks.
Great video. Just what I needed 👍
Will go ahead with the google wifi system.
So simply put: Mesh is better for wifi?
Yes, Mesh Wifi is good for large area.
Can we use them together?
Yes you can. We’ve explained at the end.

You are right. Not sure why Google took off the post from their points in the Nets Models
You could always buy the nest wifi and then buy a single google wifi if you need to hardwire something
Really nice, would you recommend buying the 3 Google wifi set for 99 bucks or better the best WiFi for 250?? Thanks bro

@@Sonofa6yss Google recommends a maximum of five points.
Google WiFi each point costs $99/each and bundle price may vary. Nest Wifi 3 piece cost $349.
Excellent, thank you for doing this 👍🏻😀
thanks for the info. was always worried the speed would be impacted.👍
Glad to help
Good job very easy to understand thank you
Thank you for the feedback.
I found out the hard way that the nest points didn’t have Ethernet. So I got an mesh wifi point Because it has 2 of them.
You are right. Google WiFi is the best choice if you need Ethernet ports.
2 pack Google Nest WiFi router good for me
Why cant anyone discuss the specs and performance? I want the specs! not which is "better"
Great job! Ty
Thanks for watching!
Nice! 👍
