We have a house with no wi-fi, can a google nest wi-fi router work as a wi-fi modem?
Gift iconic skin please😊
@@irishboy06 nobody should get this as it's outdated technology, it's not Wifi6, and no you still need a modem separate to this.
Tech With Brett cdcvvm,Mxbmm. The
I have been a huge advocate for using google wifi instead of other and even more expensive systems. I would love to have this as an upgrade to my current google wifi system
Thank you for this. My old router just died and I ordered a Nest wifi and one point. Was hoping to be able to use my old name and pwd and you answered that in almost the first step. Saved this video to watch again once the router arrives.
This man has 58 connected devices! I’m I the only one blown away by that. Wtf
58 is understandable if you have a lot of smart devices, the funny thing is he only have 50 down internet speed.....
EiVaR I have about 28 devices in my household of 4 people, so yeah pretty believable.
Yea that’s completely understandable. The only reason I don’t blow that out of the water is all of my hues are on one hub.
I was thinking overkill. The laundry room? Seriously? I guarantee you his life is a nightmare. Things turning off and and on at random, crap music being played when you asked for a RUclips video, bluetooth getting hijacked, and now you can't connect unless you unplug everything. Not to mention Google assistant frequently cops an attitude and messes with you; even laughs about it.
Idk something about it doesn’t sit right with me, I just feel those wave frequencies are frying his brain.
A fantastic detailed and thorough vid! It answered a lot of my questions about adding this unit to my existing wifi network. I need to bookmark this for future use when mine is set up.
What a wonderfully great review! Waiting for this to be released in Sweden.
Fantastic Video!!
However, as far as device priority goes...
21:46 "we can set up a few of those"
Only one device at a time can be set as a priority device for the specified time duration. If you select one device and then select another, you'll notice that the first device is no longer highlighted.
I purchased this today and came across your video this evening. Truly a great how-to for the Nest Wifi!! Learned a lot!
I have the Google Wi-Fi and I have loved this system. For the price this system I have had really great coverage and performance. Unlike most people I use wired back-haul between points because it really makes a difference with performance, especially one of the points is in my shed to cover the back yard and it's too far away to have a good connection with the other points. Yes I ran network cable out to my shed and it was worth it. Even in the back yard by my shed I'm getting 450Mbs download speeds with my 3 year old Google Wi-Fi... I have 1Gbs internet service in case you were wondering.
Now with the new Nest Wi-Fi they have removed things that help improve network performance and added things that have absolutely nothing to do with Wi-Fi or it's performance especially on the points!! And on top of that they raised the price. They could have done so many things to improve on what was already a great product but instead they made it worse by replacing the network ports with things that nobody asked for. I will be looking else where when it is time to replace my Google Wi-Fi.
Perfect timing with this upload.
Exactly when I was planning on it...
I had that same Asus router, setup as a repeater. Upgraded to Google Nest WiFi and I'm very happy with it.
I am growing my smart home. I have a Google Assistant device in nearly every room, multiple chromecasts, nest thermostat and doorbell any many smart lights. I often watch your videos before setting up my devices. I have fast internet but have noticed it cutting out randomly on some devices. Looks like nest Wi-Fi might be the solution I'm looking for not only for better connectivity but also being able to prioritize as you mentioned seems like it would be great. Keep up the great videos!
yea keep getting those wiretaps cuz the government wants to spy on ya
Hi Brett,
This was the best google wifi video I have seen, very in-depth, makes me just want them more, they would be perfect to run a smart home like ours which is used to make the house accessible for my wife. They sound way more reliable than a lot of standard wifi routers. Unfortunately we live in Australia and cannot enter this competition but just wanted to say thanks for making such an awesome video.
Thanks for the support! Hopefully one day it can be available. It made everything very simple.
Love the timestamps in the video. You rock!
well my friend, i am convinced to grab this due to this awesome vid!! great in depth review
Just got mine yesterday so this was just what I needed
That helps alot. I currently have Gen 1 Google Wifi with 4 points, but I have kept an eye on Nest Wifi for some of the new features. Namely, Wifi 6 is supported from my understanding and that would help as I get closer to the connected device limit in my home. Also, having Google Assistant built into the satellite pucks would remove a large number of my existing Google/Nest Homes. I also use a switch to split up hard line connections at the base, but I'm sad to see it removed from the satellites. That allowed me to remove wifi adapters from any PCs/laptops I wanted to have connected in distant rooms.
Sub'd thanks for the total walk through.. I bought a Nest wifi a month ago and I learned so much from your video!!

Excellent video. Very easy to understand and follow along. The set up was easy. So far what he stated was very true to fact.
Thanks Brett! I'm excited and this read helpful
I think the 37 second delay in "turning off" the wifi was more likely the RUclips app on the TV having data buffered.
I can literally turn the power off to my WiFi network so it doesn't exist and RUclips will continue to play from the buffer for almost a minute.
It looks like the actual enabling and disabling is instant. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for saying "Hey Google," quietly 😂
Lol. I know hu?
This has been very helpful as I decide which mesh system to purchase....thanks
Thanks for such an in-depth amazing video. Kudos to you. loved it.
超 神奇的 發明，感謝～Google Nest～讚到爆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video and review, just purchased the Google Nest Wi-Fi mesh system a week ago works fantastic and very reliable and consistent. 👍 Fast...:)
Great to hear!
When connecting my second nest point, I get a “Problem connecting to cloud” which some people say are caused by my modem router combo (wifi disabled, only used a modem). Any solutions?
best nest wifi video explicative ever. super recommended. new suscriber🤩
Thanks Brett, we got it...appreciate your help
Hi, I have a Asus AC1900 Dual Band 802.11ac Gigabit router. The Nest Wifi seem to be an upgrade to what I have in my home! Nice educational video of the Nest Wifi, It would be nice to have this for an upgrade at Christmas time! Thanks for this video!!!
Hi, what about when you move your device (a table or cell phone) away or out of the range of the nest router and get closer to the other repeater? does the device change automatically from the router to the repeater if they have to same SSID? or the router and repeater "automatically" pass the device from one to each other?
Thanks. :)
Love Google products and will appreciate Google WiFi as I'm using Netgear now.
I think when i finally move out, im gonna get this as my modem. I would get it right now, but i feel the price is a little steep for something i dont *really* need. Great video!
Great video tutorial!
This is an interesting video. You mentioned things that I had a hard time coming across when looking up this new mesh point.
BTW, Is the new device able to work with the Google WiFi app?
Yes it is! I cover that near the end. I did the setup in the Google Home app but all settings from what I have seen can be adjusted in the Google WiFi app.
Tech With Brett can you use a spectrum modem
I really love the whole video. I just purchased one, and now I m able to use the entire ability
Everything are Google nest wifi, great review.
I
Good grammar bruh
I wish I knew what you meant to say. You got likes tho. 🤣
Thanks for the video...I have 13 wemo’s/7 wyze cams/ SmartThings hud and door sensors /5 Arlo/9 hue bulbs /4 fire sticks/4 Alexa pucks/3 pads/3 cell phone all on the night hawks r7000p with mu-mimo connect technology .....I do struggle with connection issues up and down all the time.... 55 devices total some not listed....do you recommend a mesh over the router
Made the right choice! The points have google assistant no matter what!
My computer is closer to one point, but constantly swaps at random to the farther point causing some serious lag issues mid game. I can't seem to find any info anywhere on how to get a device to prioritize a specific point. You pointed out that the reverse is possible. Got any thoughts on how to fix that? Or a way to assign a specific name to a specific point or something? So you connect to just one node.
Great vid - just got one a few days ago and so far working great. I just wanted to know how you find this compares to a hard wire solution - as in cabling into various rooms with a wireless point at each one?
Excellent tutorial. I just wish that they included a speaker on the router.
Thanks for clearing thing out. I depend heavily on the lan port for my current google Wi-Fi network and was just about to buy the nest Wi-Fi but I’m glad I watched your video first, otherwise I wouldn’t know that the nest points doesn’t have the lan port, unfortunately.. :(
Glad I could help, sorry I can't change the product...
Tobias Brage Amazon sells the Nest WiFi router in packs.
@@moonlightcruze Great catch, looks like you just need to give up the built-in mini that comes in the add-on
Right now I've got cox internet that I connect all my Google devices though so with this would I still in this or would it be the main internet source and if so what would be the monthly cost for it
What a nice review! Everything explained very clear and loved the timestamps in the video timeline!
Question: My ISP provides a modem/router (just 1 device that has wirfi)... would I need to get a regular modem with no wifi to be able to connect the Nest Wifi so I don't have 2 networks?
I have a modem/router and I just turned the router function off on my modem router. That function may or may not be available on your modem/router.
I sent it back. Over 5 hours with the tech and he told me that the reason I couldn't set up the new network was because of interference from my modem/router. He tried hard (5 hours) and the product may work great for most people.
Good tips and makes it easy as . Thanks
excellent video, thanks
Hi , I just came across your video and there's lots of info Thank you. I was wondering if you recommend this or the Circle for parental control like schedule on the internet.
I also have the circle right now and have considered changing to the Google hub. You mentioned that you can't turn off pause by voice if it's programmed, so how easy or hard is that to do? On Circle, I select the kid and hit reward and then change bedtime. What is required for the Nest Wifi to change it?
Thanks. This is probably the best walk-through I've seen on the new Nest WiFi. One question I do have is, are you able to reserve IP addresses?
Thanks for the video....
Thanks Brett 😊.

Can you share it ? I need ideas
Does the app allow you to set specific channels for the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks?
Hello Brett,
What’s the process remove / turn off the ring light when point hub is muted?
The perfect video
Are there benefits to this system versus the earlier versions. I still have the original Google Hub and a couple of wifi mesh points, looking like two stacked pucks with a lighted ring around the middle. When I run a "Test Mesh" , results are inconsistent; often improve when unplug and replug in
Thanks!
I have Verizon FiOS Gigabit service which provides connection via ethernet to my Verizon router/modem rather than coax as traditional connections have, thereby requiring the modem in order to connect secondary routers. Given that I have that ethernet connection straight from Verizon into my home, can I get away with not using the Verizon provided router/modem at all?
I currently have a Arris Surfboard SBG7580-AC modem router combo. I seem to drop devices that need to be re-setup weekly. Have 40+ devices mostly light switches, Hue and wyze cameras. Do you think added a nest wifi system with the same name would add stability to the devices? If I do should I leave the WIFI for the surfboard using same name or shut it down and rely just on the nest?
Great video 👍 I have old version and work great. I had so many issues with FiOS internet provider router but Google WiFi way more reliable.
Hey I'm subscribed to your channel as well. It's a small world. 😃
That is a great review Paul! I'm excited to no longer have those issues either!
Not after 5/21/21
Thank you for the video. A lot of good tips. Did you buy warranty for your nest wifi?
I have an old Airport Extreme. Hasn't been supported or updated in years, as they discontinued them. It was a workhorse, but since all of these wireless cams, bridges, plugs, bulbs, Google speakers, Chromecasts, hubs & phones? It's not holding up so well. Maybe it's time to upgrade. Probably my modem too. And the nest with it's extender is about the same price I paid for my Airport back then! Thanks for the great review!
I bought Google wifi units (3 of them) will these play well with my existing mesh setup.
Love the manageability of the router from the phone. Is the switch a managed switch? Google Nest Router and point would be great in our old solid way bungalow vs my Asus 5300 Rogue Raptor.
I love this
It is a very nice set of devices
I currently run a dlink mesh system (works ok) but have issues connecting to some of my smart devices consistantly. I'm slowly moving my smart devices over to phillip hue which requires a hub that can only handle so many devices. What happens if I need an extra hub connected to the google wifi system should I decide to switch to that system?
Just what the doctor ordered..👍
My house is 3520 Square feet. so I went with 3 Google Nests Wifi. and it works perfectly!
which google wifi app was it you used?
Is it one just for the nest wifi or also for the older google wifi ones?
Cause I can't see where I can connect the home with the wifi!
Great video! We have all Alexa devices (including fire tv), but have best doorbell, cameras, thermostats, and smoke detectors. Would this still be a beneficial switch over? Or would you recommend a different brand for mesh WiFi considering we have no google home devices?
I have the old Google Wifi, and they work great. I have cables going to all of them because the wireless signal wasn't good enough for me. I will maybe update with a new Nest wifi point in the future because then I get a new google assistant device and better internet at once.
Love the videos. I've been thinking about updating my Mesh network, and the scheduling and pausing of the net is definitely a major pro. Just a quick question though. Can you pause/unpause when not on the network? Example, if I'm at work, and need to stop the internet on my kids devices so that they'll do their homework.
That has actually been one of my favorite parts is that I can still check on the network when I am away from home. No complicated remote settings to use, it just worked. Pausing works just fine!
Does it work as well on Apple product? At the moment I am using my AirPort Extreme, one old one new.
Hi, I'm new at this and we change our internet provider every year (it makes sense in the UK), so if I get Google Nest router to replace the existing one, will everything connected to it just keep working when we change providers?
Another question, if I have an existing wireless router/modem. I guess I need to disable the wifi once the Google Wifi is up and running?
First of all I appreciate your video, it is a great help. One question, I have century link internet service which was down sunday. They provide a modem /hub combined. I have a nest hub with 2 access points. When the internet went down the nest stoped working and I could not get it working, so its is removed from my system. You mentioned in your video that you removed your wifi router and installed you nest hub directly. My wifi and modem are combined. Do I have any options with this setup. I really want to use my Nest hub.
I am just starting out with getting our home Googleized. I would love to have the wifi setup. Great info on your channel.
I finally feel like my home is all Google with this new addition.
@@TechWithBrett We are just starting, we bought the Nest hub Max and are loving it. Will be adding more items once we get into our new home.

I have a previous ecosystem with my wifi ISP router, so all the devices like sonoff or nest hub max were configured with this network. Now I bought a nest wifi. So, do I need to change all the configuration on this things to joing the new wifi?
Very interesting video you made. I started looking for Google Nest Wifi and you just convinced me. I'm curious: how do you make it possible for your whole family to access the HUEs from their own device? I know we can go through Google Home but we don't have as much color as on HUE. Do you give each member of your family access to your HUE account?
The only problem with Google Home is that it doesn't share it with G Suite yet, but hey :)
I have the first google wi-fi router my question is can i add a second gen nest wi-fi piont ?
Hello. do you know how to behave through concrete walls? does it still have a range? thank you
Hi, thanks for the great video! My question is, are there any nest router settings that can improve connectivity for voip calling?
Can you use open DNS with this system? Or, how well does the native restricted mode work?
I have a combination router/modem. How do I connect the LAN to add devices? I have thermostats and nest cameras. I am only able to add my PC and phone thus far. Thank you.
Hi, is it possible to view which device is currently connected to which of the points? and also, is there an option to view if a certain device is connected to 2.4 or 5 ghz?
Great video thank you very much quick question how many routers can one have in a home??
See I thank you for cutting out the voice assistant lines because I have both an Alexa and Google Nest Mini in my room. So I thank you very much.
If I use the same network name as previous so I don’t have to connect all my devices again, do I have to delete it from the existing modem router. To be clear I have an existing T-Mobile modem/router and will add google mesh.
Really wish more mesh wifi systems had wired lan ports on the satellites... I would have loved to go with the Google Nest version but opted for the Orbi for the ports >
Would a Nest work with a sim card Mofi modem for a second router in a 2600 sq ft home? We do have a direct ethernet cord going from the location of the Mofi upstairs down to the living room.
Hi, you say in the video on pre scheduled WiFi turn off’s, smart speakers can’t be used Which is great but if I pause certain devices WiFi separately what stops them turning it back on with their own google speakers.
Tks Brett, gtr info 👍🌈
You said Nest Wi-Fi is capable of router Advanced Options. I have two devices that require Port Forwarding. Are either the Home app or the Google Wi-Fi app capable of letting me set up Port Forwarding on the Nest Router? How do you do it? If you cannot do it, would I have to connect a different, second router to the switch box and then hook up and operate the two devices through the second router, which would allow me to configure Port Forwarding?
Can you set up multiple Wifi networks, without having to activate guest network? I want to keep my connected devices on a separate network from the main network we use for our work.
Observation from testing. First provider speed was 940 mbps at the modem; was also close to that with as wired connection to the Nest Router. However Wifi speed was less than half that. Seems is using 2.4 band which maxes out in the 400/500 mbps. Even communication between a Nest Router and Nest wifi point are also 2.4 band as a wired connection to the Wifi point was also maxing out at 400/500.
Change provider speed to 400 mbps, actual about 385 mbps at the moderm. Now both wired and wifi speeds to a pc were both in the 370 speed.
Another observation is if communications are great to both the router and wifi point and device being used, speed from wifi point will be less.
One thing I've been curious about with both this and the old Google Wifi systems is how good the connection is on different floors of a house. If I had the router upstairs on one side of the house and a point on the other side of the upstairs, would the signal be good all the way down in the basement or should I get at least one additional point to put on the first floor to ensure good signal in the basement?
What is the size of your home. My parents have done it this way and it has worked well for them.
1. Far end of the home upstairs
2. Middle of the home basement
3. Opposite end of the home upstairs.
If you only need two points I can see the first two options being sufficient.
Hi David, I have the Google Wifi (1st Generation) in my house and I have 4 floors. I put 1 on each floor. Only because I wanted maximum speed no matter what floor I was on. But I originally started with just 2 and put 1 on the first floor and 1 on the 3rd floor. Worked very well but as I said I just wanted maximum speed.
Just ordered mine after i researching my Virgin media router because ever since having Virgin media it's been crap and I meant to get over 300 mbps. and at most I get 150 I've since found out that my router was made with 2006 Intel chip so can only handle 20 or so devices which is nowhere good enough for a smart home. should arrive tomorrow so hoping it will be a big improvement to my smart home thanks for your review been very helpful
I’m actually swapping back to that Asus router RT-AC68U you had at the beginning
Hey Brett, I got a Nest Mini and at 40% volume, I could barely hear when playing Spotify. While I can increase the volume to 60-70%, this would have made Google Assistant's voice so loud. Have you experienced the same? Any workaround?
Turn up the volume on whatever you're using to play spotify
hi need to have it because I just started with the nest mini devices!!
