Pros & Cons
Pros
No more issues during on-line teams meetings and conf call. Couldnt be happier.
The mesh network works. Perfect for streaming movies, online gaming, and video conferencing.
Cons
New issues are with the app that controls them. As a mesh router system, google fails to offer a compelling product. There are far better hardware options available in the market.
Highlights
Quality
I recently purchased the google wifi ac1200 wireless dual-band gigabit mesh wi-fi router and i am extremely satisfied with this product.
I set it up using my android phone with the home application already installed (since i have a google home mini in my place).
I made the mistake of contacting google wi-fi tech support and have spent 6-7 hours troubleshooting the problem with the 3rd point.
Lesson learned - don’t call google unless you want to be frustrated and disappointed.
Competitiveness
Bought a 5th node at the fraction of the price i originally paid for the 3-node set years ago.
However, i bought a 3-pack and one of the three would not connect.
I tried mesh systems from d-link and netgear but both were problematic.
The only thing is that sometimes a device does not connect to the nearest acces point so i don't know how it is managed.

I requested a replacement for the defective point as it is brand new and under warranty but google says that it still needs to continue investigating before it will honour its warranty
