      I went with the XE75 (3 pack). I’ve had it for about 2 months now - 0 complaints. Fantastic system to go with my recent upgrade to 1000Mbps. Was able to pick it up for under $500 think from Good Guys Commercial - standard price there.

      I hear the Google WIFI 6E has issues where one node would drop off all the time and had to be rebooted to connect back into the mesh. Not sure if a later firmware has fixed or not.

      • Wuggle on 26/11/2023 - 00:51

        What sort of wifi speeds do you tend to get around your house using the XE75?

        I also have a 1000Mbps plan and although I get around 850Mbps in my office from a wired connection, my old gen 1 Google wifi only tends to get speeds of about 300Mbps maximum for my kids bedroom computers. Admittedly we are a very heavy wifi gadget household so there is a lot of things often fighting for bandwidth.

        Would like to upgrade to either Google Wifi Pro or something like XE75 but just not sure how much improvement I should expect over my current gen1 google wifi.

        • hoosier daddy on 26/11/2023 - 01:07

          I get 650+ Mbps with these (3-pack) on Optus HFC 600 Mbps NBN from anywhere in the house. So my bottleneck is my IPS. They dont offer higher than 600 hfc

        • Mingles on 26/11/2023 - 01:15

          I guess it depends on the device - I’ve just mainly been testing from my iPhone 15 Pro and get around 850-900Mbps consistently. The IPad Pro 5th Gen does about 650-700Mbps. On an Ethernet connection (my PC), it’s always above 900 but usually around 940-950Mbps.

          Not sure if the upgrade is worth it or not - will depend on what devices you use an how old they are? I can only assume the new system will help with congestion management and maintaining higher speeds, particularly since you’re on a 1000Mbps plan… but not sure by how much.

          • Wuggle on 26/11/2023 - 01:27

            @Mingles: Thanks for the response. I recently got access to the Good Guys commercial site and see the XE75s are $503 for a 3 pack so now debating whether I should switch from Google to XE75s or stick with Google and buy the Nest Pro for $489.

            I think either would be an improvement but the extra ethernet ports on the XE75 are tempting and a lot of reviews do seem to give it the edge over Google. Although Google's units are smaller and neater I think.

            Decisions decisions…..

            • Mingles on 26/11/2023 - 01:33

              @Wuggle: It’s definitely a harder decision now that the new Google WiFi 6E system is cheaper and available in Aus! I did notice most reviews gave the edge to the XE75’s as well. Can’t go wrong with either IMO. Good luck!

        • Mingles on 26/11/2023 - 01:19

          They were comments/discussions here on OzBargain - probably from previous google wifi mesh deals.

          I don’t imagine everyone would have the issue otherwise it’d be a well known problem.

            @Mingles: The way you worded your reply sounded a bit biased and suggested that there is a general issue with the pro's, experienced by many people.

            An isolated incident experienced by one bloke does not mean it's a general issue with the pro's.

            Its a bit like me saying, my neighbour's beemer won't start, so I guess there's an issue with beemers, they don't start

              @hoosier daddy: No, definitely not biased. If the Google system was available at the time I bought my XE75’s (and for around the same price), I would’ve probably considered it over the TP-Link tbh. Haven’t had the best experience with some TP-link products in the past… but no regrets with the XE75s so far.

    • hozj on 26/11/2023 - 10:38

      Had the same dilemma - key difference is the backhaul to the main router.

      If you are connecting them to each other via WiFi, you want a dedicated band with no other traffic (that's the selling point of Tri-Band routers).

      On a WiFi 6 Tri-Band model, you have 1x 2.4Ghz, 2x 5 Ghz.
      On a WiFi 6E Tri-Band model, you have 1x 2.4Ghz, 1x 5Ghz, and 1x 6Ghz.

      Going from 5Ghz to 6Ghz is a big drop off in range, so you may end up with worse performance on 6E than 6 because they have to push backhaul + device traffic over the 1x 5Ghz interface because the 6Hz signal isn't strong enough to use for backhaul.

    • Mikedemyx on 26/11/2023 - 00:15

      Just started having issues with ours… wifi keeps dropping in one room of the house that always had full bars and overall weird slow downs. I got a deco x55 to replace it which should arrive tomorrow.

        It's so weird. Google nest wifi was known to be reliable. And yes, it's a recent thing for me too. Somehow planned obsolescence?

      • EnergicAU on 26/11/2023 - 00:51

        I had this happen to my first gen and there is forum posts about this. I dropped it and went gen 2 and it’s now giving me a bit of problems where it seems something breaks and all the devices connect again. I do have 120-150 devices though…

        • simgue on 26/11/2023 - 10:25

          One of my Gen 2 points continually drops from the network which is a pain as it won’t reconnect until rebooted by turning off/on. Does it on the daily and I’m stuffed if I can diagnose why.

    • ArsenalFC55 on 17/12/2023 - 11:56

      I am having this exact issue in the last 2-3 weeks. All speed tests show no issues, but having slow speeds especially with images and video. I have noted some of my downloads are fast as usual, but then drop to very slow speeds around 10-20 KB/s. Did you find any resolution to this? I have tried to factory reset my routers multiple times now with no luck.

      • chillipaste on 17/12/2023 - 12:52

        I had set prioritised bandwidth to my ps4, which slowed all other devices down.. Now it's better. But I think I still have wifi range connection Dropouts

    Isnt it funny how 2.4Ghz used to be large house coverage, then 5Ghz has reduced range, so you start getting deadspots. Now the solution to Wifi 6 and 6e is just to have mesh routers everywhere to get max coverage in the same sized house.

    For most people, 2.4Ghz speed is fine, and preferable for those with lots of IoT/wifi gadgets.

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 26/11/2023 - 01:06

      I haven't checked 2.4GHz for many years. Did this recently and found out there are so many 2.4Ghz SSIDs from neighbours and no matter which channel I jump to, the channel utilisation was surpringly high, constantly. Suspect wireless security cameras are gaining popularity

    • Xizor on 26/11/2023 - 06:23
      +1

      Except with high 2.4ghz utilisation it can become problematic due to congestion and interference… therefor not fine. Especially for growing media consumption and in high density areas.

  • Wuggle on 26/11/2023 - 00:41

    I am still currently using Gen 1 Google Wifi and have been thinking of upgrading but unsure whether to go for this or wait until the cost of Wifi7 mesh systems become cheaper (TP Link BE63 3-pack looks good but cannot justify $1,499 cost at the moment)

    Currently I have about 850 Mbps download on FTTP in my home office connected direct by ethernet but then use 4 x google wifi gen1 mesh for wifi around the house. My kids bedrooms only get around 300 Mbps.

    I know everyone's house and set up is different but if I switched to Google Nest Wifi Pro would I likely see a considerable enough improvement on the wifi speeds or not enough to warrant buying this?

    • Dingleman on 26/11/2023 - 00:54

      I’m in the same boat please let me know

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 26/11/2023 - 00:58

      Why not run a ethernet cable to kids room - never worry about flaky wifi signal interference from neighbours ever again. For ethernet in addition to faster speed, both latency and jitter will be lower. And can switch to 2.5GbE easily down the road.

      When all the important machines are wired, wifi becomes more reliable anyway due to less contention. And also wifi speed stops to matter as much.

      Once wired, it's a relief to not have to wonder about whether the next big spider wifi box "might" improve the connection experience

      • Wuggle on 26/11/2023 - 01:03

        Because I don't want the hassle. I have zero DIY skills so have no intention of doing that myself as regards running cables up my walls and through the roof from one side of the house to the other. Don't particularly want to get someone in to do it either as would likely cost a small fortune. Would also need a ridiculous amount of cabling to get everywhere that I want to.

        Would rather just get the best I can out of a good wifi router.

        • ATangk on 26/11/2023 - 01:08

          The question is if there is a real need for 850Mbps? 300Mbps is fast enough to stream whatever you want.

          The answer to your other question is, as the band frequencies go higher, your range suffers more.

          • Wuggle on 26/11/2023 - 01:14

            @ATangk: This is true. 300Mbps is sufficient for my kids general usage and for general streaming however we have quite a few game consoles in the house and it annoys me that over the wifi those devices are not getting the best download speeds that my plan should be providing to them.

            You can never have enough speed in my opinion.

            I started with a 28.8k modem and that is probably how fast 850Mbps will seem in another 10 years or so.

            • Xizor on 26/11/2023 - 06:27

              @Wuggle: Besides updates, Gaming is not that heavy bandwidth usually. Try giving the gaming consoles priority in the router if actually having issues.

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 26/11/2023 - 08:44
          +1

          Totally understand the hassle. I've been through that too.

          The "good wifi router' is a bit of a myth. From marketing perspective it's wonderful to be able to encourage the consumers to spend $400+ for every new wifi standard. This strategy has worked very well in the past two decades, but wifi is starting to reach its physical limit - any additional speed from this point onwards requires tradeoff with range.

          Getting a cabler to run ethernet from one center location to very few other outlets will be expensive on a per outlet basis. Let's say from your router you need to run three ports to where you have devices that can make use of the bandwidth. Conservatively worst case scenario at $200 each it's $600, which has payback of about one and a half wifi upgrade cycle, and not accounting client wifi interface costs. It feels like daylight robbery given the primitive tech (copper wires) vs the semiconductor chips in the router/wifi. however, functionally wires means guaranteed bandwidth every time, and latency is always going to be better than wifi.

          Once you've got the game consoles and main media consumption location wired, upgrading wifi won't be front of mind anymore. Because what's left is just media streaming on portable devices, which is usually bottlenecked by the internet connection but not wifi inside the house. Say allow 25mbps for one 4K media streaming. You'd need 12 people simultaneously to chew up the existing 300mbps.

          You'll also get to talk about rock solid 2.5GbE to all your friends who are always talking about "is that next new wifi router going to help me?" First person shooter players in the house are also going to have a much better experience. Champion headshots vs narrowly missed out on the second place on the ladder? Lower latency and lower jitter is much important than just throughput. Randomly Googling about wifi vs ethernet latency found this reference (https://www.howtogeek.com/217463/wi-fi-vs.-ethernet-how-much…): "As an example, we tested our Wi-Fi 6 network against a Cat6 ethernet. We ran four tests on each, and found the average ping of the wired connection was 16 ms with a jitter of 7 ms. The Wi-Fi connection had an average ping of 60 ms, with a jitter of 20 ms. That would present a very noticeable difference in game."

    I have Nest cams so I was already using Google Home, so I bought these around 6 months ago from Amazon US to upgrade my wifi.

    I kept them for about 2 weeks, and really tried to like them, but ended up sending them back for a refund. Their coverage is horrible. Actually worse than the very ordinary Tenda Nova mesh units I was buying them to replace.

    Hopefully you get better luck than me, but read the customer reviews before purchasing.

    • voldemort on 26/11/2023 - 09:59

      • Spun on 26/11/2023 - 15:17

        I already had an Asus DSL-AC68U and RT-AC68U, but I had AIMesh turned off when I bought the Nova kit.

        I bought a few more AIMesh nodes (a Bluecave @ ~$90 and a Zenwifi Hybrid mesh 2 pack when they were ~$175 on sale from Amazon), which seems to get me just enough coverage for my needs now.

        Not sure what I'll jump to when I want to go up to 6e.

        Edit: I was looking at an Eero Pro 3 pack before pulling the trigger on the additional Asus nodes, but they didn't go on sale quick enough and the Asus did, so that's the direction I jumped.

      They send the connection wirelessly. No need to have them connected to each other through Ethernet.

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 04/12/2023 - 07:51

          Yes, mesh can mean fast roaming between APs and/or wireless backhaul.

          Wired backhaul will have lower latency than wireless backhaul. So better to wire it for optimal experience. But if wired, then it might be easier to go with TPLink Omada or Ubiquity Unifi lines
