Leave it to the folks at Google, maybe the most influential technology company on the planet, to FINALLY solve one of the biggest challenges in home connectivity – basic routers that drop signals, cannot unleash your full speed, and really start to bottleneck when multiple people jump online at the same time.
The brand-new Google Wi-Fi System is a revolutionary new router that gives you the ability to enjoy an out-of-the-box home network with increased security, dramatically improved stability, and top-tier speed and performance levels – a lot of a router that isn’t going to break your bank account into tiny little pieces.
It certainly doesn’t hurt that the new Google Wi-Fi System can be further extended with other Google Wi-Fi System routers, blanketing your home to make sure that every square inch of your property enjoys blazing fast speeds and stable connections.
Tech Specs
The Google Wi-Fi System operates on the same principle as a “mesh network”, literally blanketing your entire home in concentric circles of Wi-Fi connectivity to make sure that there are no dead zones, no drop-offs in performance, and no degradation in your online connection.
Utilizing numerous “mini routers” that can be spread throughout your home (including on different levels) you’ll get a much stronger signal in areas where you might not have received any Wi-Fi signal at all from your traditional router.
Speeds upwards of 1200 Mb per second are possible across a Wi-Fi connection with the Google Wi-Fi System, something once thought to be almost impossible without ridiculously expensive routers tuned for gaming systems.
Pros
- Effortless to set up, a single application gets you up and running with a secure and stable network inside of five minutes
- Just one Google Wi-Fi System can provide you with full coverage for 1500 ft.²; three Wi-Fi Systems will cover 4500 ft.²
- You get 24/7 phone support and a one year warranty directly from the folks at Google
Cons
- You’ll be forced into using the proprietary Google router set up software, and cannot install your own open sourced software after set up has completed
- Not a lot of support for hard-wiring
Final Verdict
All things considered, the Google Wi-Fi platform is one of the most impressive new mesh Wi-Fi network solutions we’ve ever seen.
A Google account and iOS/Android device will be necessary to get your new mesh network up and running, but other than that you’ll be ready to rock ‘n roll with the new Wi-Fi System from Google in about five minutes or less – all with improved stability, security, and performance as well!
At this price point you just can’t beat the benefits.
A WiFi system that actually works with little to no configuration. Compared to other cheaper alternatives, the Google WiFi system provides speed, security, and reliability.
