Would you rather have a router in your smart speaker or a smart speaker in your router?
I literally know no one who wants a smart speaker in their router! It is the worst thing google could have done!
Big Brother Google edition (kidding 😄)
Great! Now google can spy on things you say and browse 🙂
WiFi 6?
Did this guy really shat on capitalism while recording a video for YouTube while talking about a smart home device from Google? Wow.
Certainly ‚Amazon echo dot can’t work without a router as well .….!
Google home mini x Google wifi
Go enterprise and you will never go back. Unifi for the win.
Actually only the Nest Wifi points double as smart speakers, the router does not. “Google’s new Wifi router is a smart speaker” is incorrect.
Look like skateboard wheels.
MMMmmmm, Wi- Fi signal right next to powerful magnet?? No thanks. Jack of all trades, master of none, Google Wi-Fi Mesh is not the best already.
“Because capitalism” ?? Hmmm maybe more like a lame feud 🤣
This review does not convince me to upgrade existing google WiFi pucks.
Hi.. Smart HOME to Digital 2.5G or 5G to Lunching info
Fact:
“NO DUAL BAND MESH ROUTER will ever be as good & fast like a Wi-Fi 6 TRI BAND MESH ROUTER”
Have a great day to y’all
Capitalism 😂
I think that makes sense why would I sell my competitors stuff it’s common sense
Bet you they are using this router to intercept your data
The fact that there are competing smart speakers is because of capitalism. If one company doesn’t want to sell another’s that’s fine.
WiFi 6?
😂😂😂 already trying to get Google out of my beeswax as is. Now this? Ahahaha ha ha.
Is there a option to not have the speaker in it?
speaks about speaker, doesnt play any tune, what a waste of my time
Does it give off WiFi on its own, or do you need existing WiFi and it just boosts it?
Dieter, please share your apple watch band’s link. It looks amazing!
I’ve seen many comments asking for it but no response
There are issues with Google WiFi.
1. You cant permanently set high priority (QOS) to a device
2. You cant add a device to multiple groups (Tags)
4. It doesn’t separate 2.5 and 5 channels, and there is no way to do it manually. This means some devices are hard to setup. Setup that requires the device and phone be on the same network channel will not work (my air purifier is an example).
having said that, love the speaker option.
Can you test Nest Wi-Fi router together with a Google Wi-Fi as an access point?
How can you add a nest wifi point to a Google wifi system when Google doesn’t sell the nest wifi point on its own?
When and why hasn’t Apple come out with a home mesh network already??
i wish apple makes one like that
i hate how my Google home speaker keeps disconnecting from the app. i love google but when it comes to stability and reliability, i’ll still pick the Apple’s Homepod to control my appliances and Lights
This makes so much sense!
Because of Capitalism, we have products with lights, speakers with routers talking to us. That we record on our fancy phones and cameras uploading in our advance lightweight computers. Love Capitalism
God, i hope they introduce ‘ok nest’ as a wake up phrase.
Should I get Google wifi mesh or the nest?
That is smart
The speaker should also be in the router point. This would make it that much more flexible. Would also be nice if there was a 3.5mm jack output to plug into your hi-fi,
Google wifi vs Eero is like AWS vs GCP
is there any device to call the next room or floor only using wifi
Amazon had the ability to do this in the Alexa speakers. They missed out.
so you havent used it. thumbs down.
Do you need a WiFi service, currently with spectrum. Or is this is own service
Would be nice to learn how to play music on the mesh.
i use ethernet lol
