WiFi System

Forget the Google crap. It’s garbage. Take that $300 and put it towards a UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra, a Lite 8 PoE switch, and a U6+ AP. You’ll only spend just a little more than the Nest WiFi Pro, and it’s a system that you’ll actually be pleased with. Bonus, you’ll have room for expansion later - j

Yeah I solved the constant dropouts with Google WiFi/nest WiFi by switching to Ubiquiti

Their app is trash. I bought into the environment as much as I could. Thermostats, home minis, the big Google Home clock, Nest wifi.... I hate their Home app with a burning fiery passion. It's confusing, unintuitive, and is so simplified that it's basically good for nothing. I dumped the last of my

I just ditched my old Google wifi system for a Dream router 7, got it Wednesday and set it up last night, and so far it's great. Google wifi was far too restrictive and I needed an environment that I could learn on and break shit on with an isolated network while leaving the rest of my network worki

I followed your instructions praying for this to work but have not had success. I entered the port forwardin

You might want to check out this thread - many of our Nest Wifi pucks died because of an update a few weeks ago and several of us are still awaiting a fix: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleWiFi/comments/1s1j4da/google_nest_wifi_not_working_help_please/

I’m having the exact same issue. Nest doorbell 2nd gen went offline and could not get it to update. Spent hours and support with google and they are no help. Got a 3rd gen doorbell and got it working with a separate router today for a few hours and it’s showing offline again now. I’m at a loss using

It shouldn't work that way though. I used to have wired stuff behind a wireless point through an unmanaged TP-Link 8 port switch and it worked fine with port forwarding. These days all of my nodes are wired though. I can see one of two possibilities for what you're seeing: Your switch is running STP
