    in store only. Happy Hunting. Nothing around me.

    You can't edit the router settings without internet on google wifi. So watch out for that.

    • Frederico Z on 18/10/2024 - 10:26

      That seems to apply to many mesh systems.

      • not a bot on 18/10/2024 - 12:40

        I haven't tried the other ones so I can't speak to them. But I agree with lakers1222, I had a lot of issues with NBN and Optus when setting it up. It worked eventually after enough resets and it was fine from then on.

        Also if you upgrade your router later and want to keep these as wifi APs it is painful. The mesh doesn't support bridge or AP mode. I think these ones because they all have an ethernet port you can set up each node individually in bridge mode and have seperate wifi APs but I'm stuck with the older one where only the main unit has an ethernet port. So the 2 mesh nodes are useless. And it's still painful to setup without a proper web interface.

    • lakers1222 on 18/10/2024 - 11:42

      Churning nbn was a pain. Eventually it worked using an android phone with the google app installed

      • Kanjus on 18/10/2024 - 14:08

        I ended up only switching between ipoe providers!
        Interface is a pita. Had to reset router and then had flashing yellow light for 4 months.
        Apart from that, works extremely well.

  • Twisty on 18/10/2024 - 09:53

    This or Eero?

    • kmish on 18/10/2024 - 09:57

      depends on what you want out of it. But the 3pack Eero with Wifi6 cheapest has been 389.99

      • Twisty on 18/10/2024 - 11:52

        Yer I was looking at the Eero 3 pack Wifi 6+ pack and I’m happy to wait for it to go back on sale if it’s better then this

        Want it to cover my house in wifi mesh system.

      • chris666 on 18/10/2024 - 13:21

        I got mine from bunnings for 350 odd a few months back

    • tanksinatra on 18/10/2024 - 15:07

      I've installed them both. My pick would be the eero. It supports multiband mesh which allows you to place the satellites further apart (the Nest only supports 6ghz backhaul).

      Having said that, I bought these Nest Wifi Pro from Bunnings for $75 each and I'm happy with them.

      • Kanjus on 18/10/2024 - 16:21

        untrue, nest pro has dynamic band backhaul

        • tanksinatra on 19/10/2024 - 11:00

          Are you sure? The Google support document says:

          "Nest Wifi Pro uses the 6 GHz band for its mesh network to ensure that Internet traffic stays fast whilst using mesh networks. This helps legacy 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi devices too."

          https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/12367191?sjid=1…

          When I tried to set up a Nest Wifi Pro mesh it behaved like a 6 GHz only mesh, refusing to mesh over longer distances.

  • iamjase on 18/10/2024 - 10:03

    anyone know if this will this work with a nokia 5g fastmile gateway router or cause issues?

    • kmish on 18/10/2024 - 10:04

      What are you using the Nokia fastmile for? Could you explain your setup?

      • iamjase on 18/10/2024 - 10:05

        for home internet via a sim card

          +1

          Ah ok so you're using the gateway as the modem? I think it'd work if you plug a nest point straight into it

  • theguyrules on 18/10/2024 - 10:11

    How do people go about trying to get these low stock items?
    Do you call the store, or just head in and see if they're on the shelf?

    • kmish on 18/10/2024 - 10:15
      +1

      I've gotten lucky by spotting it in store, but I'd call the store. I know Torquay and Leopold have atleast 3 - 4 each, but the website says out of stock.

      • theguyrules on 18/10/2024 - 10:25

        Hmm yeah a store nearby me has "3", and also a store nearby my folks has 3 as well.
        tbh I have to decide if I want to upgrade to this cause its cheap or just wait a bit longer.

  • toastynoodles123 on 18/10/2024 - 10:15

    I picked this up a few days ago when the last post got made - I asked about price matching another Bunnings but no luck. $250 is still a great price compared to other options. Works great with Aussie BB/Buddy Telco 1000mb.

    • kmish on 18/10/2024 - 10:16

      Hypothetically could you buy a new one for the current price and return that one with the old receipt?

      • kaboom mel on 18/10/2024 - 12:25
        +1

        Or just return the brand new one with the old receipt to be fair to the retailer allowing them to resell easily.

  • supernova23 on 18/10/2024 - 10:23

    Based on my research online this model has latency spike issues. I went with the TP link deco x55 instead. It’s not 6E, but has more reliable connection for my 250Mbps nbn.
    6E is only really relevant if you have gigabit plans I think.

    • JPMelb on 18/10/2024 - 10:33

      I bought the TP Link XE75 6E and been very impressed with it. If I saw this though for half the price i'd probably would have opted for it despite the inability to really tweak with google devices (I doubt they would allow anything but Google DNS)

      • particle on 18/10/2024 - 12:11

        You can use any DNS you like with this device.

  • kongkee on 18/10/2024 - 11:02

    My Deco M5 is still serving me well and in the last 4 years, tempted to upgrade to this

  • voldemort on 18/10/2024 - 11:12

    You can try your luck buying individual for $50 each @ Bunnings, some may still have in stocks

  • Ashh77 on 18/10/2024 - 11:41

    Might be silly question, Can this be used alongside the original google mesh wifi set (pre-nest)?

    • particle on 18/10/2024 - 12:13
      +1

      No they can't mesh into a single network, though the original Google mesh wifi will mesh with the Nest mesh wifi. Just not with the Pro.

    • kaboom mel on 18/10/2024 - 12:26
      +1

      This is the biggest pain point. I have 6 of the previous gen routers which are all working fine. I dont want to upgrade all at onces and then run the risk of introducing new problems.

  • findadeal1221 on 18/10/2024 - 12:25

        The post near the bottom has an image of a receipt from a few weeks ago paying $200 went to the service desk showed them they did a price match plus I am guessing beat a compete by 10% thing I didn’t even ask for and away I went

            @jonathansoriano: That may depend on stores some one above mentioned their local store wouldn’t compete with other Bunnings local one here did without a hassle

        • NoPainNoBargain on 18/10/2024 - 13:42

          I bought it from the store sometime back. Is there any chance they price match if I go and ask now.

            +1

            @NoPainNoBargain: No idea at all fist time trying at Bunnings, their asking price was $300. I didn't even think of the extra 10 or even if they would match off a reciept only but they did. Checked the receipt on the way out to make sure I heard the $180 right lol

        • Cazman on 22/10/2024 - 15:11

          Thanks for that, I got the last one in Perth and price matched to $180

    I wanted to love these, but I was disappointed again and again. Full reboot was required way too often. Ended up replacing the Nest system with Ubiquiti UniFi products and haven’t looked back. UniFi is more expensive, but I think it’s worth it in the long run for network stability and consistency.

    • slankets on 18/10/2024 - 13:43

  • LittleMIssPanda on 18/10/2024 - 15:18

    Got one from Bunnings! FYI multiple stores said they had 2 in stock but when I went they said they didn’t have them and they were most likely some sort of old display stocks showing up.

    One store had 3 stock though which ended up only being one! Snagged it!!

    No price match from the other receipts sadly but still happy with the $245 price

    Ridiculous price. Well done to those who scored. Don’t bother calling any stores if you’re in VIC, as soon as you even mention the word router they’ll say none left lol. They must’ve gotten hammered with calls today.

  • GySgtGunner on 18/10/2024 - 15:49

    Can someone explain Bunnings price matching policy to me? In regional NSW marked clearance at $300. Wouldn't match either the receipts here or their own website at $245 as it's "out of stock". Madness!

    Hi guys, I have tenda mw3 , does it worth to update to google mesh WiFi 6 ?

    • supperman on 18/10/2024 - 18:35

      Tenda MW3 only has 100Mbps LAN as I recall. So if you're on a higher NBN plan, says 250/25, then you can't get anything higher than 100 Mbps on your devices.

      • tonytong on 18/10/2024 - 18:42

        yes, I’m really on 250/25. Now I find the reason why my internet is so slow… thanks man.

    I managed to get it price beat at Castle Hill Officeworks by showing the staff in person that there was still stock at Minchinbury Bunning NSW.

    I did call up Minchinbury NSW Bunnings, and they had 3 left.

    Came down to $232.96 @ OF cheering.
