Dead zones. Every house has at least one. In fact, the Wi-Fi signal doesn’t reach the edges of my humble 1,500-square-foot apartment, and I do it on purpose Place the router in the central room to give him the best chance of success. These days the remedy is one Mesh network Several satellite routers are used to provide your home with WiFi. Even the 2016 version of the first generation is Google Wifi got good grades and now you can get one Google Wifi 3-Pack for only $ 175.
A few things to consider. First, as mentioned earlier, this is the first generation Google Wifi, not the 2019 Google update that Nest wifi. This “Grade A” system will also be overhauled – like new and delivered in the original packaging. If you want to take advantage of this, you must select “3-pack” from the drop-down menu on the product page. (The $ 80 one-pack alternative isn’t nearly as convincing.)
All in all, I like this price very much. The next thing I could find something comparable to was a Walmart two-pack, also refurbished, for $ 190. That’s $ 15 more, and still one satellite less than Woot.
This model was also replaced by the Nest Wifi system in Google’s official listing, but this system has worked quite well in our tests. in the CNET’s review of Google Wifi 2016Editor Dong Ngo noted that it was easy to set up and had strong coverage, and that it was (at the time) “the best Wi-Fi system on the market”.
Look at that:
The Google Wifi is the best home mesh system so far
