The verdict is in.   Google WiFi ROCKS.   No more complaints from my husband about his WiFi not working.  Super-fast speeds for downloads, actually approaching what I expected from my very expensive Xfinity service.  And it works in my yard – very important as the summer months are upon us.

There are some other cool features to it as well:

  • Check network speeds
  • Pause certain devices on the network
  • Create a dedicated guest network, so you can keep your information private
  • Block millions of adult websites
  • Set a priority device (say you are working on something important on your laptop – you can set that as having the priority so the video games or FaceTime doesn’t take all the bandwidth)

There are other Mesh Network products out there as well that have good reviews.  I chose to go with the name brand for now.

Netgear Orbi has gotten good feedback as well.
