Finally Did It. I drilled vent holes in my Google Wifi Pro 6e's.

So after almost 6 months of dealing with having to restart the network when it would drop to 10Mbs, when it should be getting 400Mbs. I opened one up and looked at where I could drill vent holes, made a masking tape template and then drilled all 6 of my units. The outcome.... 2 weeks without having

Slow Wi-Fi on new 500/50 plan, but wired speed is fine. Is my modem the bottleneck?

The router you have is 802.11ac, or WiFi 5. What you're seeing is pretty typical for a router like yours, given its internal antenna and the walls in between. The 1300 Mbps number is an overall theoretical, not a per-device speed, so your PC is completing on that pipe with all other WiFi devices in

Nest Wifi Pro - nothing but problems. Google Wifi was fine for years.

Try this suggestion: In the Home App, if you go into Wifi \ Settings \ Preferred activities, is Video conferencing checked? If so, uncheck it and restart the network. I've found this one setting to really lower network speeds. I found it in this post and it did help. https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleW

Yale Smart Lock

The Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E) is also a border gateway router, so you may have missed out on a wifi upgrade instaed of buying the dedicated device. Matter over Thread getting the same certification as Matter over Wifi is just bonkers and a crime against the regular user. One of the big advantages of

Townhouse Network Setup

You shouldn’t be getting different answers depending on whom you ask, because given what you describe, using the existing Ethernet to improve your WiFi around the house is an absolute no-brainer, and if the installing technician saw that you had Ethernet he should have said so. The good news is that

Is the Google Nest Wifi Pro decent? It's 53% off on Amazon.

This. I have had nothing but random dropouts and head aches after 4 months of using Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E. They're going into my technology grave yard tomorrow.

iPhone 13: really poor wi-fi reception.

iPhone 13’s WiFi specifications are Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 2x2 MIMO. So if your WiFi router is older and not up to WiFi 6 standards, it won’t have the best WiFi connection that it can have. If your wifi router doesn’t support WiFi 6, I’d upgrade to a new model, you should get improvements in connec

Need help with back haul Google Nest WiFi pro’s in big old stone house

If you don't need coverage where the XB7 is located, then essentially this is what's causing your network issue. So yes the setup you mentioned will be better. You won't have to factory reset your network or anything. You'd just have to move the primary Nest Wifi Pro where the secondary unit is loca

Is the Google Nest Wifi Pro decent? It's 53% off on Amazon.

Ironically I just did some research on this since my current Nest Wi-Fi system starting dropping intermittently. I ended up going with Deco XE75 Pro, which is also on sale on Amazon. YMMV but for my situation, since I have hard lines going to a few rooms, Nest WiFi Pro is not a good option. I’m also
