Modest performance
Not the cheapest
Must sign in with Google account
Not brilliant as a standalone router
A Google account and a mobile device are required for setup and management. It doesn't have many advanced features or customizable network settings
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

Abstract: For some reason the internet is in a fizz over Google Home – sure it's a revolutionary product, but it's a bit before it's time. The thing people need today is better WiFi and Google is offering that in spades with their “Google WiFi” product.Walk into a...
Google Wifi makes it easy to eliminate wireless dead spots, although admin is done via a mobile app rather than a browser. It's also a good performer and, at under $500 for three Wifi nodes, well priced compared to other mesh systems.OverallSpecs$199 AUD...
Simple setup, Excellent long-range performance, Simple & effective features
Expensive, Negates advanced router features
The first mesh WiFi we've tested makes everything that's come before it look out of date. It's expensive but a simple and reliable way to genuinely spread WiFi throughout your home...
Abstract: Google delivers much more router than you'd expect for $129, but just one won't be enough for most people. Unless you live in a studio apartment, you'll want to avail yourself of two or three of these devices so you can deploy a mesh network. The master r...
