You guys have help me out alot. Maybe I can help out someone with this.
I was having alot of problems with wifi at my house. Basically no signal at my desk in my bedroom to netflix buffering. I tried switching router/modems out a few times from Grande. They would work for a little while, then their wifi signal would seem to eventually get weaker and weaker. It was very very very annoying. One of the final straws was when my 2 kids couldn't play their Fortnite on Sunday. They are only allowed to play on Sundays. The disappointment on their faces was it.
I was going to buy a traditional router but instead decided to go with the Google Mesh instead after seeing reviews on Amazon. I bought the 3 pack at HEB for $266. I could have gotten it for a little cheaper on Amazon but I had a couple of HEB gift cards that I had been hanging on to.
I ran a speed test with the original wifi and the new google mesh at different locations and here are the results:
(My original fastest speed was 28.09 Mbps, now with the new Google Mesh my slowest speed is 118.47 Mbps)
DESK
0 Mbps Download (Original)(wouldnt even run the test)
118.47 Mbps Download (Google Mesh)
KITCHEN
31.92 Mbps Download (Original)
141.52 Mbps Download (Google Mesh)
OTTOMAN
25.51 Mbps Download (Original)
191.35 Mbps Download (Google Mesh)
KIDS ROOM
28.09 Mbps Download (Original)
296.55 Mbps Download (Google Mesh)
MASTER ROOM
7.27 Mbps Download (Original)
73.19 Mbps Download (Google Mesh)
RANGE
Originally I could only take a few steps out of my front door before Pandora on my phone would turn off. With the Google Mesh I can walk down a few houses and it would still be playing. It turned off around 300 feet from my front door. (Excited about this because now I wont have to remember to turn off wifi on my phone for my headphones when I am mowing, I forget every time)
OVERALL it is way faster. It seems great and I am happy with it although I didnt get to test it to much after setting it up. My desk where a webpage would not load, will now load webpages very quickly. Netflix loads movies super fast too.
Setup was super easy.
Although they did not play, the PS4 Fortnite test was successful and my kids will be smiling Sunday when they play.
